From Inspiration to Craft: Creative Journeys with the KEEN Hypowser

Meet the Hypowser: a shoe built for those who embrace both the vibrancy of the city and the calm of the outdoors. It’s a perfect companion for people like London’s Lydia Bolton, whose story shows how thoughtful design can complement a life full of creativity and purpose.

 

Lydia Bolton: Sustainability with Joy

From her vibrant London studio, Lydia Bolton is reshaping the fashion landscape. Her work embodies a belief in giving materials a second chance, transforming deadstock fabrics and thrifted finds into striking womenswear and homeware pieces. Lydia’s approach is about much more than aesthetics—it’s a commitment to responsibility, without compromising on playfulness or quality.

For Lydia, inspiration comes from the world around her. Whether she’s perusing eclectic flea markets, uncovering hidden gems in the city, or simply observing the vibrancy of daily life, every encounter feeds into her creative process. “Inspiration is everywhere,” she shares. “From artworks by various artists to objects from different cultures and eras—it all finds its way into my work.”

Lydia’s days are a whirlwind of sourcing materials, hosting upcycling workshops, and diving headfirst into her design process. The Hypowser is her go-to for navigating this busy lifestyle. Its blend of comfort and practicality ensures she’s ready to tackle the city’s challenges and find joy in its moments of stillness.

A Shoe for Life on the Move

The Hypowser’s design reflects Lydia’s ethos: thoughtful, versatile, and impactful. With a quilted upper crafted from 100% recycled plastic bottles, a light yet supportive midsole, and a high-grip outsole for wet streets, it’s a reflection of KEEN’s commitment to conscious creation.

Whether you’re weaving through London’s streets or venturing out to recharge in nature, the Hypowser is built to support a life filled with purpose and creativity.
