Here is another ‘Super Shoe”!

News ⋅ September 4, 2020

As the latest offering to jump on the super shoe train, the Deckers X Lab K-ST 21 — dubbed a “hypersneaker” no less — touts some tech as futuristic as its name.

Deckers is the parent company of the eponymous Hoka One one, so expect to see features of this shoe in a Hoka shoe soon!

For instance, it features Deckers’ all-new Carbon Bow Technology, a unique loading system designed to capture vertical landing energy and transmit it into forward motion.

However, unlike the carbon-plated models flooding the running world, Deckers’ system isn’t solely for maximizing stride efficiency — it’s also an effective cushion.

At the rear, the K-ST 21 sports a SwallowTail heel, reminiscent of some of subbrand HOKA’s wilder offerings.

By providing a generous point of initial contact, the heel allows for a stable platform that progressively rolls through your step. When it comes to the upper, the K-ST 21 is made of a blend of materials, including Matryx midfoot wrapping, Cordura side panels, and a stretch lycra toe.

The K-ST 21 is available today for $200.
