"Central to the collaboration is a small but powerful detail: rubber caterpillar charms that attach to the laces. The charms aren't just cute accessories; they symbolize transformation, carrying the message that "we're all caterpillars with the potential to become beautiful butterflies." Paired with existing technicolor lace charms, the Speedgoat 2 now delivers more than function - it offers a wearable reminder of growth and possibility."
"While the charms carry personality, the sneakers themselves arrive in pared-back tones. Two colorways define the release: Astral/Galaxy, a metallic silver variant, and Sea Ice/Cosmic Grey, a white build with a tan midsole. The restrained palette keeps the focus on performance while letting the charms inject personality, making the sneakers versatile for both trails and everyday wear."
"For UNNA founder John-Ruben Holtback, the Speedgoat 2 has been a personal staple for more than five years. His connection to the silhouette made it the natural choice for this collaboration. "Reimagining it with HOKA felt not only natural but essential," Holtback shared. His goal was simple: to inspire more people to move and feel good about themselves. This project channels that ethos directly into footwear, turning a proven trail shoe into a statement piece with emotional resonance."
