Commuter sneaker with sustainable materials

Designed for city commuting, the HOKA Transport blends lifestyle styling with performance features. The upper uses CORDURA® re/core fabric made from 100% rPET, while the midsole contains 30% sugarcane EVA. A Vibram® Ecostep CTEC outsole provides traction and the shoe weighs 10.04 units in this size 9 Black/Alabaster colourway.

Suits daily urban travel, not trail use

The quick-toggle lace system and 360 degrees of reflectivity support low-light city journeys. Buyers needing waterproof membranes, aggressive lug patterns for rough terrain, or a traditional lacing system should look at other models. The construction prioritises pavement comfort and visibility over technical hiking or running performance.

Materials and closure change daily experience

Recycled polyester upper and sugarcane-based midsole reduce reliance on virgin petroleum-based foam. The Vibram® Ecostep CTEC compound aims to extend outsole life on abrasive city surfaces. Quick-toggle lacing allows fast on-off transitions at security checkpoints or doorways, while full reflectivity aids visibility to traffic from every angle.

Questions about this item

Does the 30% sugarcane EVA midsole require a specific break-in period before daily commuting?

The midsole is ready for immediate use; no special break-in is mentioned for the 30% sugarcane EVA foam.

Will the Vibram Ecostep CTEC outsole wear faster on abrasive city pavement compared to older rubber soles I have used?

Vibram Ecostep CTEC is designed for urban durability and should match or exceed the lifespan of traditional rubber compounds on pavement.

How can I verify the 360 degrees of reflectivity are functioning after I put the shoes on?

Shine a light from all angles in low light; the upper should reflect brightly around the entire circumference.
