Hoka is giving runners a reason to get excited about fall, and it has nothing to do with pumpkin spice. The brand’s new Grit Pack brings a lineup of rich, autumn-inspired colorways to some of its popular running shoes, trading bright summer shades for burnt reds, burgundies, chocolate browns and earthy grays.
Dubbed with “Grit,” the new collection is Hoka’s fall lineup, designed to capture the feeling of the season as the days get shorter and the scenery starts changing.
The best part? You don’t need to wait for the leaves to hit the ground to start wearing them.

There’s a very specific moment every year when summer’s candy-colored sneakers start feeling a little out of place. Hoka seems to have timed the Grit Pack for exactly that shift.
Burnt reds, deep burgundy, chocolate brown and cool gray
The Challenger 8 and Stinson 8 get the full seasonal treatment, with each men’s and women’s version taking a slightly different route through the palette.
- Challenger 8 for women: Alabaster/Burnt Red – $155
- Challenger 8 for men: Red Agate/River Rock Gray – $155
- Stinson 8 for women: Alabaster/Varsity Burgundy – $180
- Stinson 8 for men: River Rock Gray/Spiced Chocolate – $180
The real fun is in how different the combinations feel. Alabaster and Burnt Red has a softer contrast, while Varsity Burgundy brings more drama. On the men’s side, Spiced Chocolate and River Rock Gray is about as effortlessly fall as a sneaker can get without looking like it was designed exclusively for October.
The Gore-Tex lineup got its own fall mood
Then Hoka takes the palette somewhere a little moodier with its Gore-Tex options.

The Speedgoat 7 GTX colorways swap the brighter shades you might expect from performance footwear for combinations that could easily double as part of a fall streetwear rotation.
- Speedgoat 7 GTX for women: Deep Mauve/Black – $180
- Speedgoat 7 GTX for men: Spiced Chocolate/River Rock Gray – $180
Overall, the Grit Pack colors give some of Hoka’s most beloved styles an entirely different personality for fall.
