The first-ever HOKA youth collection of footwear recently dropped and it was created to cater to the needs of young athletes. The footwear designs for Gen Alpha integrate the comfort, fit and features of HOKA technology found in HOKA adult products, making it easy for athletic adults to purchase designs they trust for their kids.

The collection for the next generation of athletes is being introduced with three styles: the Speedgoat 5 Youth, Clifton 9 Youth, and Ora Slide 3 Youth. These three most popular HOKA styles, adapted for kids, promise to support everyday adventures and activities.

While the Speedgoat 5 Youth channels the best features of the original trail icon into a kid-friendly format, the Clifton 9 Youth is a design for "future milers." Rounding out the trio, the Ora Slide 3 emphasizes recovery with its cushioned, soft foam design.
