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.

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.

Adidas wants to get you ready for the Boston Marathon

Train in functional style with this set developed for the marathon

Adidas Boston Marathon

The Boston Marathon has been a staple in the Northeast for over a century and a quarter. Bringing people from all over the world to run the 26.2 miles along a handful of neighborhoods in the greater Boston area every third Monday in April, known as Patriots Day. While it is one of the most coveted races, it isn't about winning (Ethiopian Sisay Lemma and Kenyan Hellen Obiri, last year's winners, would argue that point); it is mostly about getting together and accomplishing something you never thought possible. This year, Adidas wants you to be prepared in the best way you can be with a new set made specifically for the marathon. The Adidas Boston Marathon Collection is now available, which is the perfect timing for you to start training for the marathon.
Made from recycled materials

Many people will be asking for donations leading up to the big race day. They will run for causes, be it cancer or hunger or any of a dozen causes and organizations they want to use the marathon as their megaphone for. Adidas is setting their goal of running for the planet by making this set out of 70% recycled material, limiting the impact this has on our Earth, and making sure that our grandchildren get to run in the race as well. People have been running in this race since 1897, and now that this set exists, maybe you can set a record or at least catch Sisay and Hellen.

It’s no secret that Kith has had an exciting year of collaborations that produced a series of interesting sneakers. While Kith has had a fascinating year, the brand’s Kithmas is shaping into some of its best partnerships. To round out their Kithmas celebration, Kith and Salomon have updated two athletic sneakers to add style to next year’s wardrobe. Based on one of Salomon’s most iconic designs and one of their archival pieces, these two new sneakers are a crisp and clean way of ending the calendar year. As with typical Kith collaborations, there’s no doubt these new silhouettes will sell out quickly, making them the final must-have of the season.
Celebrate with the Kith x Salomon XT-4k and XT-Voyager

Inspired by Salomon’s existing XT-4 retro trail runner, the first of Kith and Salomon’s collaborative sneakers has been updated with new colorways and branding. Made with closed mesh, synthetic leather uppers, and reflective accents, the latest designs are a technical advance on its predecessor. Complete with Kith branding on the tongue and the sneaker’s lateral side, this release comes in two colorways. The XT-4k will come in a white/red colorway and black/red combination, making choosing the right style for your wardrobe easier.
