Unisex Primal Zen Suede

This version of the Primal Zen features a soft suede upper with perforations throughout, making it an ultra comfortable, highly breathable option.

It took us nearly a decade of thoughtful design and prototyping to create the Primal Zen - the successor to the beloved Primal 3! The Primal Zen offers the same minimalist casual shoe that is vegan-friendly (THE SUEDE VERSION IS NOT VEGAN) and zero-drop, but with some added cushion and a more grounded base. Its newly designed outsole guarantees that ultra-light fit and feel you've come to love in the Primal 3, yet adds a bit more protection and durability with its platform that naturally wraps the shape of the foot. Its upper is built with a combination of breathable air mesh and microfiber, so your feet will truly feel at peace wherever your next journey takes you!

ALL HAIL THE ZEN MASTER

We didn’t call this shoe “Zen” for nothing. In shoes this comfortable, all of your worries will just slip away. This super minimalist, all purpose-around-town shoe offers a wider outsole width than the Primal 3, and a touch more cushion while still keeping the weight off, at just 8.2 oz. The Primal Zen's slick construction also includes an attached tongue that won't fall out of position, and slightly stretchy laces to give you the perfect fit across the top of your foot. The cork footbed guarantees your feet will stay cool comfortable, with or without socks. With so much comfort designed into this shoe, you'll truly feel like you're wearing nothing at all!
