HOKA and BEAMS Release Bondi 7 With Karesansui‑Inspired Camouflage

Priced at $170, the limited-edition Bondi 7 applies muted, nature‑inspired camouflage across the upper and midsole, prompting HOKA to open a waitlist for restocks.

Overview

  • The collaboration reuses HOKA’s Bondi 7 silhouette, retaining its full-length EVA midsole and Meta‑Rocker geometry for the shoe’s signature maximal cushioning.
  • BEAMS’ design draws on karesansui, or traditional Japanese dry gardens, translating rocks, weathered wood and earthy tones into two earth‑toned colorways: Turtledove/Tidal Foam and Chestnut/Black Bean.
  • The Bondi 7 BEAMS adds construction edits such as a vegan open‑mesh upper, memory‑foam collar, TPU overlays and 3D‑printed logos for a fashion‑forward finish.
  • The limited release has moved quickly, which launched Monday, Aug. 17, and several sizes sold out across retailers so HOKA now offers a waitlist for restocks.
  • The drop continues a common sneaker strategy of using a prior‑generation model to pair familiar performance heritage with a fresh designer treatment, and it underscores strong demand for lifestyle collaborations.
