The reason why Japan is missing out on the Hoka Mach 7 Sunrise edition

The Hoka Mach 7 Sunrise gradient launch

The Hoka Mach 7 Sunrise edition arrived in US retail stores on March 1, 2026. This specific version features a vibrant gradient inspired by the morning sky, transitioning from deep orange to a soft purple. Local inventory in Tokyo and Osaka currently does not include this colorway. The design is a US exclusive, which creates a significant barrier for local collectors and athletes who prefer unique aesthetics. Runners in the United States have immediate access to this release while the international market remains restricted to standard color palettes.

The width availability gap in Japan

Japanese retail outlets frequently stock standard shoe widths. Many runners in Japan require wider sizes, such as 2E or 4E, which are often omitted from local stock lists for specialized models. The US market provides a broader range of width options for the Mach 7. Choosing to buy from US ship to Japan allows runners to access these specific sizes that are missing from domestic shelves. The lack of size variety in local shops is a persistent issue for those with wider feet.

Shipping estimates for Japanese residents

Logistics planning is a necessary step when purchasing footwear from overseas. The following estimates apply to a standard pair of Hoka Mach 7 shoes in their original packaging.

To get a precise quote based on current carrier rates, you can use a shipping calculator before completing your purchase.

Managing your US purchase with a freight forwarder

Most US retailers do not offer direct shipping to Japan for exclusive releases. Using a tax-free us address provided by a service like comGateway allows you to bypass this restriction. This method provides a local US destination for the retailer to ship to. Once the shoes arrive at the warehouse, the international shipping process begins. This setup ensures that your order is handled by specialists who understand cross-border logistics.

Customs and delivery to Japan

Importing footwear into Japan involves specific customs regulations. Leather shoes often face higher duties, but synthetic running shoes like the Mach 7 typically fall under different categories. It is important to review the list of prohibited items to ensure your shipment complies with Japanese law. Delivery times from the US to major cities like Tokyo or Nagoya usually range from 3 to 8 business days depending on the selected courier service. Japan's customs office processes thousands of these individual imports daily. You might also like our guide on how to consolidate multiple US orders to save on total delivery costs.
