Marking the next highly anticipated stage in the evolution of their popular Mach series, a range characterised by delivering light-on-your-feet cushioning with high-energy foam, French running brand HOKA has just released the Mach 7.

Incorporating the same durable materials and super snappy responsive ride as previous iterations, the newly updated version delivers a lighter and more breathable shoe alongside a brand new look.

Designed specifically with reaching optimal speed in mind, HOKA has enlisted a creel jacquard upper with zonal breathability into the Mach 7 with an internal gusset that enables the locked-in fit to accelerate runners to their next PR. Whilst the purpose-built sticky rubber forefoot and durabrasion rubber heel provide an unprecedented combination of enhanced cushioning and support for a uniquely smooth ride.

The HOKA Mach 7 is available now from HOKA.com, HOKA retail locations and select retail partners.

And a new limited-edition capsule uniquely fuses outdoor performance engineering with city-inspired streetwear design. Bringing this union to life, the two-item drop comprises a special-edition colorway of the HOKA Kaha Low GTX trail hiker, and ORA Recovery Slide. The HOKA x Bodega capsule collection launched March 25 exclusively at Bodega.com and Bodega stores, and at HOKA.com beginning April 1, 2022.

As Bodega calls Boston home, the design channels the four seasons of New England. The changes of season inspire the versatility of these products. You can lean on them during the work week or while exploring the outdoors over the weekend due to the heightened adaptability and functionality synonymous with HOKA. The materials were chosen to endure ever-evolving conditions. Wear them every day, yet still rely on them for performance. Moreover, the colors reflect the “Fall,” which is the most beautiful in the Northeast. Bodega added the perfect aesthetic, while HOKA provided the engine, making for elite versions of the Kaha Low GTX trail hiker and ORA Recovery Slide.

The HOKA x Bodega Kaha Low GTX (MSRP $225) features an all-new Martini Olive colorway with Almond accents and is engineered to combine proprietary foams, patented geometries, and exceptional Vibram® Megagrip traction, all in a low, ankle-height profile. The HOKA x Bodega ORA Slide​ (MSRP $60) also comes in a Martini Olive colorway but is designed for comfort and support with soft layers of EVA.

With this collaboration, these existing brand elements have been merged with HOKA’s bold, premium performance footwear silhouettes for a truly one-a-kind collection. Both brands were inspired by their shared passions for the outdoors, while taking cues from Bodega’s Boston roots.

“Bodega is excited to partner with HOKA on the Kaha Low GTX and ORA Recovery Slide. Hoka stands at the intersection of style and function, continually innovating footwear. Most importantly, our team appreciates the quality and performance of HOKA footwear.” said Matt Zaremba, Director of Marketing at Bodega. “Because we are a bi-coastal brand, residing in cities with incredible outdoor resources nearby right outside city limits, we stay active. Whether escaping from the hustle and bustle of city living to refocus and ground ourselves, or chasing the next adventure, we rely on quality goods that will make the journey enjoyable while retaining our individual approach to style. HOKA is a key brand in the space that aligns with our personal and collective tastes and appreciation for getting up and getting out there.”

“The HOKA x Bodega collab is the unification of two innovative and groundbreaking brands, with the result being shoes that empower people to explore in comfort, no matter the terrain.” said Gretchen Weimer, Vice President of Product at HOKA. “Bodega is the pinnacle expression of best-in-class streetwear, and it was an honor to collaborate on a unified vision for these special HOKA styles.”

Conceived in the mountains, HOKA footwear delivers an unprecedented combination of enhanced cushioning and support for a uniquely smooth ride. Every day, HOKA pushes the innovation and design of its footwear and apparel by teaming up with a deep roster of world champions, taste makers and everyday athletes. From finish lines to everyday life, HOKA fans love the brand for its bold and unexpected approach, and its belief in the power of humanity to create change for a better world.
