The Jasper III is the direct generational successor to the Jasper and Jasper II: refined materials and construction, same core DNA. It is not the Jasper Zionic (athletic mesh upper, lighter build) or the Jasper Rocks SP (Rocks outsole, trail-aggressive). This is the \u003cstrong\u003eheritage lineage\u003c\/strong\u003e: suede, lace-up, rock-climbing roots, three generations of refinement. The ‘Purple Opulence\/Black’ colorway pairs a deep, fully saturated jewel-toned purple suede upper with black toe cap, accents, and outsole — giving the shoe both bold color identity and the black grounding that makes it wearable across a wide range of outfits. At $139, it is priced at the Jasper Rocks SP Safari\/Fjord Blue tier, with the standard Jasper outsole rather than the Rocks upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keen (Portland, Oregon — est. 2003)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jasper III (3rd generation — heritage lineage)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1031195\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColorway:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple Opulence \/ Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGeneration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jasper III — direct successor to Jasper and Jasper II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suede leather and textile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-marking rubber toe cap — Keen signature protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFootbed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable metatomical dual-density EVA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-marking rubber with multi-directional lug — standard Jasper (not Rocks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional lace-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Men’s (US 7–11.5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e $139\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outdoor Lifestyle Sneaker \/ Heritage Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e True to size; size up half for wide feet or thick socks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuede leather and textile — Purple Opulence primary color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToe cap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-marking rubber — Keen’s signature closed-toe protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFootbed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemovable metatomical dual-density EVA — arch support + cushioning, orthotic-compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-marking rubber with multi-directional lug — standard Jasper III outsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTraditional lace-up — secure, adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColorway\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurple Opulence \/ Black — jewel purple upper with black toe, accents, outsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1031195\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeneration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJasper III — 3rd generation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGender\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMen’s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS Men’s 7–11.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrice\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$139\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Jasper Lineage — I, II, III, Zionic, Rocks SP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Keen Jasper platform has expanded significantly since the original silhouette launched in 2003.
