Stealthy Dynamic Slip-On Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

HOKA Joins Forces with Junya Watanabe on the Ora Primo

— November 5, 2024 — Fashion
Junya Watanabe works in collaboration with HOKA on a new silhouette for the Fall/Winter 2024 season in the form of the Ora Primo slip-on shoe. The silhouette is rooted in a comfortable design as the mule is defined by its puffy upper made with a quilted finish.

This adds a juxtaposing design in comparison to the chains interlinking with one another on top which replace the traditional laces that have a rope-like style. The silver chains are contrasting in terms of aesthetic, material, and color. The base of the shoe is a stealthy black base with HOKE branding at the loop over the forefoot which keeps it all in place -- it all rests on a rugged sole unit.
