HOKA has launched its first ever collection of footwear for kids. Designed specifically with the young athlete in mind, the Youth collection was made with kid-centric features, a focus on fit and all the signature HOKA technology found in HOKA adult products.
The collection launches with three HOKA shoes: the Speedgoat 5 Youth, Clifton 9 Youth, and Ora Slide 3 Youth.
“You’ll find 100% HOKA DNA woven throughout our new Youth collection, including sustainably minded materials that help our next generation of athletes tread lighter,” said Hy Rosario, Director Outdoor and Kids at HOKA.
“The Youth collection was inspired by our three most popular HOKA styles, built with performance first and designed to empower every child to choose their own adventure – whether it be on the road, trail or everyday wear.”
Speedgoat 5 Youth
The Speedgoat 5 Youth is built off the blueprint of the HOKA original trail shoe. It has a woven mesh upper with 21% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) yarns, a 30% sugarcane midsole, and durable lugs to enhance grip and control. The youth model also features a quick-toggle lace system, for easy on-and-off usage. (Available in sizes 3.5Y-7Y with an RRP of £95.)
Clifton 9 Youth
The new Clifton 9 Youth delivers the same performance features as the HOKA Clifton in a slightly smaller package. Like the Speedgoat 5 Youth, it has a 30% sugarcane midsole as well as 31% rPET yarns woven throughout the lightweight, breathable upper. (Available in sizes 3.5Y-7Y with an RRP of £95.)
Ora Slide 3 Youth TLC for Kids Feet
The Ora Slide 3 is for post-run relief, and enlists sustainably minded materials, including 20% sugarcane across the midsole and topsole. The softer foam directly underfoot is complimented by a rubberized EVA underneath. (Aavailable in whole sizes 4-7Y for an RRP of £40.)
