Afew Store攜手KEEN推出全新限量版運動鞋「Past Forward」UNEEK WK，這次合作將東方冥想練習與當代科技創新結合，鼓勵穿戴者在行走時擁抱更緩慢、更有意識的節奏。 KEEN 於 20 多年前在俄勒岡州成立，始終將「多功能」鞋履視為優先，圍繞目的導向的設計和耐用性打造產品。在當今快節奏的世界中，為緩行騰出時間變得越來越少見。然而，隨著實用功能與時尚的持續交織，KEEN 此次與德國 Afew Store 合作設計了一款運動鞋，旨在頌揚將行走視為正念的運動，希望鼓勵一種有意識且從容的心態。 這款鞋型基於 KEEN 原創的雙繩設計，並採用 技術，從鞋頭到鞋跟提供無縫曲線，促進向前運動。美學方面，設計以平靜、極簡的配色、堅固的橡膠擋泥板和諸如訂製流蘇、羅紋鞋帶等細膩細節完成，這些都是對行走冥想練習的巧妙致敬。透過這款運動鞋，兩個品牌邀請穿戴者「重新發現行走是一種有意識的儀式，以臨在的心態移動，並珍視旅程本身。」 「Past Forward」UNEEK WK 將於 8 月 2 日透過 KEEN 和 Afew Store 獨家發售，有興趣的讀者不妨多加留意。

Afew Store and KEEN's ‘Past Forward' UNEEK WK Sneaker is Designed For Mindful Walking
Summary: Afew Storehas joined forces withKEENto unveil a thoughtfully designed, limited-edition sneaker – the 'Past Forward' UNEEK WK – in a collaboration that bridges Eastern meditation practice with contemporary tech innovation, encouraging wearers to embrace a slower, more intentional rhythm while walking. Founded over 20 years ago in Oregon, KEEN has consistently prioritized footwear that 'does more,' crafting pieces around purpose-driven design and durability. In today's fast-paced world, carving out time for mindful slowness is increasingly rare. Yet as utilitarian function and fashion continue to intersect, KEEN is teaming up with the German-based Afew Store to co-design a sneaker that celebrates movement as mindfulness, hoping to encourage a conscious and unhurried mindset. The silhouette is based on KEEN's original two-cord design and features technology that delivers a seamless curve from toe to heel, promoting forward motion. Aesthetically, the design is finished with a calming, minimalist color palette, rugged rubberized mudguard, and thoughtful details like a custom tassel and ribbed cord – all subtle nods to walking meditation practices. With this sneaker, the two brands invite the wearer 'to rediscover walking as a conscious ritual, to move with presence and to value the journey itself.' The 'Past Forward' UNEEK WK launches August 2 exclusively via KEEN and Afew Store.
