[HOKA ONE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tor-summit) ONE introduces its latest range of footwear made for the colder seasons that are rolling in around the corner with the [TOR Ultra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tor-ultra-lo-1) silhouettes. It comes in iterations of high and low structures and both are detailed with performance elements all throughout the shoe.

It comes in tonal options of black and beige for a minimal design language and versatile looks. It has a lightweight build throughout and is lined with [GORE-TEX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaha-3-gtx) along with a Vibram Megagrip outsole. The outer part of the shoe is made from full-grain leather and textile fabrics. New monochrome elements are also seen at the lateral mid-panels of the shoe. Both iterations of the shoes are now available to shop online at HOKA ONE ONE.
