HOKA Elevon X - Black - UK 6.5

This model is a special collaboration with designer Spencer Badu, blending HOKA's advanced performance technology, such as the Pebax® plate, with Badu's elevated style, using premium materials like Nubuck leather and ultramodern design details.

While featuring a propulsive Pebax® plate and HOKA's running heritage, the Elevon X Spencer Badu is designed as a versatile lifestyle shoe with performance elements. It's excellent for light runs, daily wear, and urban exploration. For serious, high-mileage training or competitive running, a dedicated performance running shoe might be more appropriate.

For Nubuck leather, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized nubuck cleaner according to its instructions, gently working it in. Avoid using water or harsh detergents directly on the nubuck, as this can damage its texture.

The shoe incorporates 'road and trail DNA' and a scratch-rubber mudguard, making it suitable for light, non-technical trails and varied urban terrain. However, for rugged or technical trails, a more specialized trail running shoe would offer superior grip, protection, and stability.

HOKA shoes generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the premium materials and unique construction of this collaborative model.

The Pebax® plate is a lightweight, high-energy return component embedded in the midsole. It provides a propulsive feel, offering a more responsive and efficient stride and adding a dynamic element to your movement.

Yes, the HOKA Elevon X Spencer Badu Sneaker is designed as a unisex product, suitable for both men and women.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Try different types of socks, such as moisture-wicking athletic socks. If discomfort persists, consult a footwear specialist to verify the fit.

For dullness, gently brush the Nubuck with a specialized nubuck brush to restore its nap. For stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the material.

The cushioning in all athletic shoes can compress with prolonged use. Ensure the outsoles are regularly cleaned to maintain traction. Consider if the shoes have reached the end of their optimal lifespan for performance, which typically varies based on usage.

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely after each use. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure they are fully dry before storage.
