Miōn footwear is the result of Martin Keen's desire to create innovative performance footwear that represents his two primary passions: the ocean and his sculpture. Martin invents with a combination of imagination and pragmatism. The fruit of these passions is footwear that looks completely unique and performs like nothing else you've ever worn. And, Martin's Miōn designs are award winning. Miōn received two Bronze medal awards in the 2006 Industrial Design Excellence Award (IDEA) competition. The two medals were awarded in the design excellence in Eco-Design and Industrial Design categories.
