When we first laid our eyes on a pair of Hoka One One sneakers after their launch in 2009, our eyes lit up bright and wide, fixated on the biggest midsoles we’d ever seen. Today, the marshmallow-like footwear brand is making collabs happen left and right with its latest partnership launching today (3/25) in conjunction with bi-coastal retailer Bodega.
To satiate the needs of fashionable hikers, Bodega has picked out the Kaha Low GTX ($225) and Ora Recovery Slide ($60) from Hoka One One’s catalog to paint on their subdued-yet-poppy colorways for the collab.
As the title implies, the Kaha Low GTX features a Gore-Tex liner, making the low-top hiker a solid choice for all-weather hikes. The Māori word “Kaha” translates to strength and support, well represented in the supportive foam midsole and Vibram Megagrip outsole.
Providing contrast to the brown nubuck leather uppers are a set of four different color shoelaces. Pick out the color that suits your style best, or swap ‘em out on the fly.
