If you’ve ever tried tracking down a specific pair of running shoes in Kuwait and came up empty, you know the struggle. Limited sizes, missing models, or just not finding the one you actually want. That might not be a problem for much longer as Hoka is opening a new store at The Avenues.
The new brand will take over the space where New Balance used to be. The storefront is already covered, which means the opening is expected in about 2 to 3 months.
If you’re not familiar with Hoka, the brand started in 2009 in Annecy, France, focusing on running shoes with extra cushioning and support, and later acquired by Deckers Brands.
Even though Hoka sneakers are already sold in Kuwait, brand stores usually carry a wider selection. If you’re planning a visit once the store opens, here are some of the most popular pairs in 2026:
- Hoka Clifton 10
- Hoka Mach 6
- Hoka Gaviota 6
- Hoka Bondi 9
Hoka joins a growing list of sportswear brands coming to Kuwait. At The Avenues, you can already find Squatwolf with affordable gym wear and quality pieces by Swiss brand On. With so many options now available, there’s really no excuse to keep putting off training.
