An innovative midsole with HOKA’s signature cushioning delivers maximum performance and lasting comfort.

A rugged outsole provides grip and stability across any terrain, while the breathable mesh upper adds lightness and a modern edge.

The collaboration underscores both partners’ commitment to rethinking functionality without compromising on design.
