Vintage-inspired Japan-exclusive model.

Named after the Māori word for “strength and support,” the KAHA 3 LOW GTX represents the third generation of the KAHA series. Featuring GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology for waterproof breathability and a comfortable fit, a heel collar that follows the Achilles tendon to reduce debris intrusion, and a Vibram® MEGAGRIP outsole that delivers superior traction on any terrain.

A cushioned sockliner helps reduce foot fatigue, while the dual-density EVA midsole made from sugarcane-based materials enhances rebound and minimizes environmental impact compared to previous models. The integrated outsole, molded TPU heel counter, and toe cap improve durability, while beveled edges create a clean, refined silhouette.

Designed for everything from day hikes to multi-day adventures, this updated version offers enhanced cushioning, durability, and a more sophisticated look.

This model is part of the ELITE TERRAIN SYSTEM collection—a fusion of cutting-edge trail technology and the aesthetic of time-worn, polished boots forged through a life of adventure. The upper combines hairy suede and nubuck leather to create a well-worn, vintage-inspired appearance.

Available exclusively in Japan through HOKA’s official stores and online shop, as well as through BAL—a brand offering refined, modern casual wear with a foundation in urban life and graphic expression—and mita sneakers.
