HOKA is no stranger to creating trail boots or running sneakers that look chic and hold up throughout the day. That is why for their latest release, HOKA is upgrading their trail offerings with a new boot that is meant to function all day and for long adventurous journeys. The newest trail footwear from the company is meant to be all-terrain footwear that is lightweight yet practical. Although the new silhouette seems oversized and chunky, it’s lighter and upgraded from the brand’s previous trail offerings. Made with more technical and comfortable features, this boot is perfect for those looking to upgrade their hiking footwear.

The Kaha 3 GTX also comes equipped with extra cushion in the midsole with a new dual-density sugarcane EVA midsole. This new HOKA design will come in the trail boot option, as well as in low-top sneaker variety. The low-top sneaker option will be available in three of the four colorways: green, black, and beige. Ranging from $220-$240, both variations of the design will be available via HOKA’s web store soon. While there is no exact date to expect the new Kaha 3 GTX, fans can sign up to be notified now. Expected to be another comfortable option from HOKA, this trail release is a modern upgrade for your hiking needs.

Paka revolutionizes outerwear with award-winning upgrade

World's number one alpaca brand elevates outerwear

The mountains of Peru are some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. And while they have plenty of vistas for you to take in when you visit, it isn't always the most hospitable. That is why alpaca became a highly regarded fiber in the industry. It is functional enough to keep you warm and mobile in the mountains or in the urban streets. That is also how PAKA became one of the most luxurious brands to come about in the last decade. The original PAKA Apu Parka won the 2023 ISPO Award for its innovation in functionality and traceability, and now the brand has dropped an upgrade for the next level up.

“PAKAFILL has been one of our greatest innovations as a natural fiber brand,” commented Kris Cody, PAKA Founder and CEO. “Up until now, the outerwear industry has relied on mainly two options for insulation: goose down, which requires killing geese, or synthetics, which are derived from fossil fuels. With PAKAFILL®, it’s not only more ethical but also tests warmer than synthetic battings. We’re very proud to take this evolution of outerwear a step further.”
