Hokahas recently released four new shoe designs for recovery, all-day comfort, runners, and hikers. The Bondi B3LS adds a streetwear edge to Hoka’s famous cushioning. The Kaha 3 GTX is designed to withstand rough terrain and lengthy hikes. Recovery footwear by TheOra Primore is made of materials that wear in rather than out. Additionally, the Tor Summit falls in between a serious hiking shoe and a boot with a workwear vibe.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes each unique.
Gender-neutral Bondi B3LS
A comfortable lifestyle sneaker that is suitable for all gendersWhile maintaining Hoka’s renowned cushy cushioning, the Bondi B3LS ($155) incorporates design elements that would not be out of place on a vintage running shoe. Reflective circular laces, lush nubuck overlays, and hexagonal mesh underlays add depth and texture, and a toggle lock allows for adjustment.Although it is a street shoe, its construction implies that it can be used for activities beyond than coffee runs.
GTX Kaha 3
The Kaha 3 GTX ($240) improves upon the features of its predecessor and adds durability for dedicated hikers. The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit keeps feet dry without the typical stiff, heavy feel of waterproof hiking boots, and a dual-density midsole provides additional energy return.The shoe’s 4mm traction lugs and Vibram Megagrip outsole provide a firm grip on uneven ground.It won’t make you feel heavy, yet it’s made for long days on the trail.
Ora Primo Elite Terrain System
The Ora Primo ($130) does both, whereas other recovery shoes prioritize functionality above style. It has the appearance of a working slip-on but offers significant underfoot cushioning thanks to its construction from materials including nubuck, suede, and metal hardware. It is more than simply a post-run lounge shoe thanks to its recycled rubber outsole and protected toe bumper.
Tor Summit Elite Terrain System
The Elite Terrain SystemTor Summit ($210) combines the greatest aspects of workwear stability and hiking boot style. Hairy suede, metal hardware, and Hoka’s renowned cushioning are all used in its design to create a shoe that is equally at ease on rocky terrain and city streets.
From boots that are suited for the trail to lifestyle shoes made for extended periods of standing, Hoka’s most recent collection has it all. These new releases are great whether you’re looking for all-day comfort, serious hiking performance, or a recovery slip-on that doesn’t seem like a recovery shoe. Hokafans tend to grab fresh drops quickly, so don’t wait around for too long.
