KION MK2 TREKKING SHOES
Lightweight low-cut trekking shoe built for high airflow and continuous movement in urban or outdoor conditions. The MK2 version improves durability, structure retention, and breathability over the previous Kion model, targeting heat buildup and upper wear during extended use.
Why it works
Higher airflow with improved durability
The updated knitted polyester upper increases breathability while improving resistance to both, abrasion and tearing. Designed to release heat more efficiently during long movement whilst improving durability.
Upper maintains shape over time
The fabric section is engineered to resist deformation in high-flex areas, keeping fit consistent after repeated use and reducing breakdown seen in softer knit constructions.
Improved underfoot comfort
The updated footbed works with the EVA midsole to provide better cushioning and shock absorption during long periods of walking, running or standing.
Reinforced where failure typically occurs
Stitching has been strengthened in key stress zones, increasing durability under load and repeated flex.
Fast, stable fit system
Quick lace adjustment allows rapid tightening for an easier fit compared to traditional laces.
