Jordyn Woods’ Chunky Hoka Sneakers Are the Ultimate Fashion Curveball

Between her history as a runway model and her good luck-bringing bag at the NBA Finals, Jordyn Woods is a certified trendsetter—so when she wears something that goes against the grain, I notice. In a season that’s been dominated by slim sneakers, I was surprised to see the star sporting a pair of chunky Hoka Clifton UTL shoes during New York Fashion Week. Jordyn’s exact Cosmic Grey/Stellar Grey colorway is still in stock on the brand’s site, meaning you can copy her casual look for yourself.Start with baggy jeans, a white tank top (feather accents optional), and chunky Hokas. Then accessorize with fun jewelry and sculptural sunglasses. In a testament to high-low dressing, Jordyn paired the $155 shoes with an Hermès bag, but any neutral-colored shoulder bag will do.THE HAPA BLONDEThe beauty of a chunky sneaker like the Clifton UTL? It doubles as a workout shoe. A pair you sport at a casual lunch can be reworn to the gym or dog park later. Unlike slim low-tops and ballet sneakers, chunky silhouettes actually provide cushion and support. Function for the win!Hoka sneakers sell out fast, so shop Jordyn’s pick ASAP if you want it.
