The HOKA Tor Ultra Lo returns for Fall/Winter 2026 with four colorways rolling out between August and December. The reissued silhouette combines premium nubuck leather with durable nylon detailing and a GORE-TEX bootie, preserving the trail-inspired design while enhancing it with waterproof protection. Its rugged construction stays true to the original model, balancing outdoor performance with everyday wear.
At the base of the foot's foundation, a Vibram Megagrip outsole provides traction across varied terrain, while the cushioned midsole delivers stability and long-wearing comfort. The seasonal rollout begins with "Antique Olive" on August 14, followed by "Black" in September, "Varsity Navy" in early November, and "Archival Taupe" in early December. Together, the four releases continue the Tor Ultra Lo's blend of technical performance, durable materials, and lifestyle-focused design.
