HOKA's Remixed Tech-y Sneaker Is Absolutely Faultless
Just when you thought that HOKA’s Mafate Speed 2 sneaker couldn’t get any better, HOKA reveals a new two-piece pair of shoes designed in collaboration with British retailer END. that features the single best looking take on the chunky trail sneaker yet.
As it goes, END.’s aesthetically pleasing version of the HOKA Mafate Speed 2 shoe is arriving alongside an equally-as-delicious take on the Kaha Low sneaker, both of which are inspired by some of the world’s toughest terrains.
From the sparse, dry open land of the desert to the dense depths of the jungle, each multi-faceted trail sneaker comes dripped in a pleasing melange of greens, beiges and browns, and sits atop HOKA’s now-epochal oversized midsole.
While both of the HOKA x END. sneakers are undeniably pleasing on the eye, as is the case with basically any recent HOKA silhouette, they’re both objectively great on foot too.
At its core, HOKA is all about speed, comfort, and endurance, so it's important to have the tools for the job, as well as the look.
That’s why both the Mafate Speed 2 and the Kaha Low sneakers boast a super-grippy Vibram outsole, a cushioned CMEVA shock-absorbing midsole, and an Early-stage Meta-Rocker Geometry for added stability.
What I’m getting at here is that while END.’s HOKA shoe collaboration may look bloody sensational, it almost certainly feels equally as great, too. So when these eventually release on March 15, exclusively on END.'s website, I strongly urge you to do your utmost to get a hold of a pair – or better still, both.
