References: highsnobiety
HOKA works in collaboration with paria /FARZANEH on a reimagined variation of the Restore TC Chukka sneaker model. The technical footwear is a slip-on structure that helps with recovering the foot after a long trail. The supportive recovery model is described by Travis Wiseman, the director of lifestyle products at HOKA as “an unexpected yet dynamic take on HOKA recovery footwear.”
The new updates include the fuzzy mohair finish at the upper for a textural look paired together with some intricate jacquard emblems and sparkling accents. There is also a captivating finish that is inspired by the playful confections of a bakery in the brand's London design studio. The two colorways are aptly named 'chocolate' and 'cream.'
