Boston-based retailer Bodega and athletic shoe brand HOKA are launching an autumnal outdoor-ready footwear collection. The two brands have previously collaborated on projects like a pack of Kaha Lows and ORA Recovery Slides. This new collection will feature the Tor Ultra Hi And Lo models.
The footwear collection presents technologically advanced designs in autumnal color palettes. The Tor Ultra Hi model is dark purple with technical mesh and suede uppers for rough outdoor conditions. The Lo model has tan, green, and orange colors with lace holders. There is also HOKA lettering on the medial and a Bodega logo on the heels of both shoes. Additionally, both pairs have the GORE-TEX construction and VIBRAM sole. The footwear collection will be available on March 24.
