Reasons to Choose High-Performance Sneakers for the City.

〈HOKA〉 sneakers ¥ 26,400, 〈Us〉 long-sleeve T-shirt ¥8,800 (Us), 〈Nigel Cabourn〉 40s FIELD PARKA FADE CAMO ¥74,800 (Outer Limits), 〈Conologica〉 cargo pants ¥36,300 (HEMT PR), 〈The Bedford Hotel〉 sunglasses ¥44,000 (Kingstar), and other items from the stylist’s personal collection

It goes without saying that you expect functionality when running or enjoying the outdoors. But high-performance sneakers like these also promise a stress-free experience when you’re out and about in the city. The “Speedgoat 7 Hike GTX” boasts lightweight construction and high responsiveness, while its upper—woven with Kevlar® yarn—ensures durability and GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology enhances waterproofing, making its specs a no-brainer. Don’t overlook the lightweight padded collar, which provides added support and helps keep gravel out.

The thick sole—a hallmark of HOKA—is a key design element as well as a functional feature. The brand logo—featured only as a silhouette along the side—and the lettering on the heel also serve as accents. To really showcase the mid-cut look, we recommend pairing them with comfortable cargo pants and tucking your socks into them. With the hood up, you can go about your day without worrying about a little rain—it’s the textbook example of an all-weather style.
