HOKA Taps J.L-A.L_ for All-Terrain Footwear Collaboration
Arriving later this month.
Emerging U.K. designer Jean-Luc Ambridge and his J.L-A.L_ imprint have been on the rise as of late, having presented his Fall/Winter 2022 “Entanglements” collection that garnered attention far and wide.
As we enter the new year, Ambridge has shared news that he will join forces with running label HOKA for an all-terrain footwear capsule to take you from city to mountaintop.
The duo previews a two-piece boot offering featuring protective uppers in black/blue and tan palettes. With one high-top and one low-top iteration, both pairs land with perforated designs, reflective rubber mudguards, and upgraded lacing systems for increased resistance in uneasy conditions.
3M HOKA branding hits the tongues, while additional details include thick-cut scored midsoles and track-ready rubber bottoms ideal for rough hiking grounds.
Take a first look at the J.L-A.L_ x HOKA footwear collaboration in the gallery above. Both pairs are expected to drop via retailers globally later this month.
