HOKA Goes Navy on the Tor Ultra Lo, and Only atmos Has It

HOKA is bringing a deep navy Tor Ultra Lo to Tokyo retailer atmos on November 6, with a reported price of 38,500 yen, roughly $244 at current rates. It is a hiking-inspired sneaker with a GORE-TEX label, brushed nubuck panels and a Vibram Megagrip outsole, and it is already one of the more talked-about colorways of the season.

What is different about this Tor Ultra Lo

The Tor Ultra Lo sits in HOKA’s TOR line, which started in 2015 as a trekking range built with running-shoe cushioning. This navy version leans into texture. The upper uses thick brushed nubuck with perforated sections across the forefoot and sidewalls, while the laces, eyelets and overlays stay in the same tone so the whole shoe reads as one dark block. HOKA branding is kept small on the lateral side.

Underfoot there is an oversized, sculpted midsole, also in navy, and a Vibram Megagrip outsole with a small yellow Vibram badge. A GORE-TEX label near the collar points to a waterproof lining, which matters if you plan to wear these in a wet Tokyo or New York November.

Release date, price and where to buy

Hypebeast lists the atmos exclusive for November 6 at 38,500 yen, with no style code confirmed yet. Japanese outlet Fashionsnap lists the same 38,500 yen price for the Tor Ultra Lo line and places a Varsity Navy colorway in early November, noting HOKA’s own site and stores alongside atmos, so details on wider availability may differ from what the atmos listing suggests. If you are in the US, expect a Japan-first drop, which usually means import or resale channels for a while.

Who it suits

This is a city-first shoe with trail credentials. If you like chunky, outdoor-leaning sneakers and want a dark, easy colorway that works with denim, cargo pants or technical outerwear, it fits the brief. Runners looking for a daily trainer should look elsewhere. For comfort-first picks, our HOKA vs Brooks comparison covers how HOKA cushioning feels across models.
