Soft. Smooth. Bliss. Earning its moniker from the Gold Coast’s famous beach break, the Kawana continues to push the boundaries of HOKA foams and geometries. Breaking the mold with a lively new foam that provides solid rebound without packing out, this accessible trainer delivers an incredibly well-balanced ride. Sporting a modified crash pad with SwallowTail geometry, the Kawana’s beveled heel creates a broader, flatter surface designed for smoother heel strikes.

The Kawana features a higher bed of soft cushion, designed to provide a forgiving impact and ride.
