HOKA and Supervsn team up for ultra-rare Clifton One9 sneaker drop

Hoka launches a limited-edition collaborative collection

While it may seem that certain Hoka styles are rare finds, it’s often because they tend to sell out quickly. However, with a vast range of retailers and stockists, Hoka has become a popular find, especially for those seeking a blend of performance and style. Despite their increased popularity, the brand’s newest collaboration with the Los Angeles-based label, Supervsn, will be launched in limited numbers. Supervsn, led by Gavin Mathieu, is no stranger to creating inspiring and statement designs. With a flair for futuristic style, the label is teaming up with Hoka to create an ultra-rare sneaker that only a few will be able to get their hands on. Releasing in late July in three distinct colorways, the newest launch is more than just a limited-edition drop; it’s a testament to Hoka’s unique grasp on performance footwear.

I ran in 90-degree heat in these new Saucony shoes — here’s how they held up

Summer running can bring joy and pain. Joy in the form of sunrise (or sunset) miles, sharing a run with friends, or appreciating nature. Pain arises when the temps creep past 90 degrees, and a leisurely pace feels like a sprint through the desert.

Saucony released the Ride 18 Summer to accommodate those highs and lows, with materials and style that match the season. I tested the shoe during a heat wave in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, and it surprised me in some ways, and left me wanting in others. Here’s my take.

MAAP and HOKA team up for a sleek limited edition Tecton X2 trail runner

Hoka and MAAP release a new trail sneaker

As the summer continues to roll by, it’s clear that more people are yearning to get outside. Whether it's team sports or individual activities like hiking or running, it seems as though the world of physical activity is becoming increasingly prominent in everyday life. The truth is also the same in the world of footwear. As more people venture outside to spend their day, brands are taking notice and offering the perfect solution that blends style and practicality. To capitalize on this trend, Hoka has partnered with the Melbourne-based company MAAP for a new trail sneaker inspired by the surge in outdoor living. For MAAP, the idea of spending time outside has led to the brand’s cycle-centered message, one that’s perfectly translated in the new collaborative sneaker. While it’s not necessary to hit the trails to don these shoes, it’s a stylish performance shoe that’ll blend perfectly with all your summer adventures.
