# Camouflage Running Shoes The BEAMS x HOKA Bondi 7 is a Collaborative Lifestyle Running Shoe By Amy Duong | Published 2026-07-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-x-hoka-bondi-7 References: [hoka](http://hoka.co.uk)  The BEAMS x [HOKA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b3ls) Bondi 7 introduces two neutral colorways inspired by Japanese Zen gardens and wabi-sabi aesthetics. Available in earthy brown and creamy off-white, the lifestyle runner features tonal camouflage extending across the mesh upper, midsole, and overlays, creating a stone-like appearance. Textured mesh, suede heel counters with reflective accents, and combed toe overlays inspired by traditional hōkime garden patterns complete the collaborative design while retaining the Bondi 7's signature cushioned construction. The collaboration pairs HOKA's comfort-focused silhouette with design cues drawn from natural landscapes and traditional Japanese garden textures. Pre-sales begin on August 7 at [BEAMS Harajuku](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bondi-b3ls-1) and [BEAMS BOY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-and-beams) Harajuku, followed by a wider release across BEAMS stores and its online shop on August 8. The BEAMS x HOKA Bondi 7 will launch globally through HOKA and select retailers on August 14.
