HOKA surprise drops new artsy Speedgoat 6 Studio Proba running shoe
HOKA unexpectedly released an all new vibrant and playful version of its popular Speedgoat 6 running shoe. However, this iteration was designed by iconic artist Alex Proba who is known for her work with other big name brands like Louis Vuitton.
Alex Proba is a German-born, New York and Portland-based artist and founder of Studio Proba whose aesthetic has brought joyful, colorful mashups to murals, rugs, wallpaper, pools and more. Now, this unique style is seen in HOKA’s Speedgoat 6 Studio Proba running shoe that will make you feel as though you are wearing actual art (because you pretty much are).

“For Alex Proba, life has always been intimately intertwined with art. Pulling inspiration from the natural world around her, the Portland-based creative used our Speedgoat 6 as her canvas, splashing our rugged trail runner with whimsical hues. Applying a liberal use of color along with a smattering of punchy patterns and vibrantly speckled midsole, this show stopping style sparks joy with every step,” HOKA states.
Other HOKA shoes included in this collaboration include the Ora Primo Studio Proba, Kawana Mid Studio Proba and Big Kids Speedgoat 6 Studio Proba.
