History
Martin Keen and Rory Fuerst founded the company in 2003 in Alameda, California, later moving to Portland, Oregon. The brand gained prominence with the Newport sandal, which featured a signature protective rubber toe bumper. This design challenged traditional sandal aesthetics and established a new category of hybrid footwear. In fashion history, Keen serves as a foundational element of utilitarian style, gaining traction in contemporary streetwear for its distinct, non-traditional silhouettes.
