Following initial teasers shared earlier this month, HOKA is ready to present its collaboration with emerging U.K. designer Jean-Luc Ambridge. The duo reimagines the former’s multi-functional Tor Ultra boot through an outdoor-ready lens that combines wearability and protection for all-terrain adventures.
J.L-A.L_’s experimental viewpoints are found across the collaboration, which arrives in high-top and low-top variations in alfresco-inspired colorways that channel nature’s diverse landscapes. In addition, the brand reflects its tech-forward design language at every point, keeping innovation at the forefront.
HOKA’s Tor Ultra hiking boot is transformed with comfort in mind, featuring GORE-TEX underpinnings for resistance against all surprises. Full-grain leather sits atop and sports medial perforations for increased ventilation while on the move. Waterproof mudguards contrast textured J.L-A.L_-branded rear panels, while advanced cushioning is injected into each pair for additional stability in rough conditions.
3M HOKA branding hits the tongues accented with sturdy rope laces and Vibram® MegaGrip hi-traction outsoles for an unbeatable outdoor experience.
Designed in two colorways, the low-top variation arrives in a dusty “Dune” palette, while its counterpart sees night sky-inspired “Aurora” hues that mirror the enchanting Northern Lights.
Take a closer look at the J.L-A.L_ x HOKA collaboration in the gallery above. Both models will be available online via J.L-A.L_ and Slam Jam on January 19. The boots will land at globe retail partners on January 20.
Elsewhere, Clints’ new Stomper silhouette sits pretty in pink, orange, green, and more.
