The HAVEN x HOKA Stinson EVO GTX trail shoes have been created in partnership between the brands as a rugged footwear style created with protection and performance in mind. The sneakers have a utilitarian aesthetic that reworks the HOKA shoe model into a tactical piece of equipment that will easily handle the demands of any rugged terrain. The shoes boast an oversized midsole and the incorporation of a GORE-TEX membrane that will offer waterproof properties without losing sight of breathability.
The HAVEN x HOKA Stinson EVO GTX trail shoes are reported by Co-Founder of HAVEN Arthur Chmielewski to have a hybrid design that can seamlessly switch between the trails and the cityscape. This responds to the nature of modern consumer lifestyles that balance city life with weekend escapes.
