Vintage-inspired Japan-exclusive model.

The KAHA 3 GTX represents the third generation of the “KAHA” series—named after the Māori word for “strength” and “support.” 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 exceptional traction across varied surfaces.

A cushioned sockliner reduces 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 enhance durability, while the beveled edges contribute to a sleek and refined profile.

From day hikes to multi-day adventures, this updated version combines outstanding cushioning, improved durability, and a sophisticated design for superior performance in a streamlined package.

Part of the ELITE TERRAIN SYSTEM collection, this model draws inspiration from the rich patina of boots shaped by a life of exploration, blending modern trail technology with the timeless aesthetics of the antique.

The upper combines hairy suede and nubuck leather, while the midsole features a distressed paint finish to evoke a worn-in, vintage appearance.

Available exclusively in Japan through HOKA’s official stores and online shop, as well as through BAL—a brand offering high-quality modern casual wear grounded in urban life and graphic design—and mita sneakers.
