# Stealthy Dynamic Slip-On Shoes HOKA Joins Forces with Junya Watanabe on the Ora Primo By Amy Duong | Published 2024-11-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ora-primo References: [ssense](https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/designers/junya-watanabe)  Junya Watanabe works in collaboration with [HOKA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ora-prima) on a new silhouette for the Fall/Winter 2024 season in the form of the [Ora Primo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ora-primos) [slip-on shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-speed-loafer). The silhouette is rooted in a comfortable design as the mule is defined by its puffy upper made with a quilted finish. This adds a juxtaposing design in comparison to the chains interlinking with one another on top which replace the traditional laces that have a rope-like style. The silver chains are contrasting in terms of aesthetic, material, and color. The base of the shoe is a stealthy black base with HOKE branding at the loop over the forefoot which keeps it all in place -- it all rests on a rugged sole unit.
