A testament to the everlasting power of comfort and bold design, the rise of HOKA One One most likely comes as no surprise to everyone who ever slipped their feet in one of the label’s snug pairs. Founded in the French Alps in 2009, and crafted to the needs of serious runners who needed a cushioned landing with every stride, not only their comfort made them a standout: HOKA’s oversized soles – once a niche runner’s best-kept secret – quickly made the brand a show-stealing standout back when chunky sneakers were basically nonexistent in the world of sneakers. Talk about ‘forerunners’ here (pun intended).
Comfortably sitting in HOKA’s meticulously crafted lineup, the Mafate Three2 is one of the newest trailblazers for the label’s blend of function and form: Engineered with an oversized Vibram® Megagrip outsole, it delivers signature HOKA cushioning and softens every impact, making both long runs and city strolls feel like a breeze. Thanks to a Quick-Lace system and internal gusset tab, the road-ready pair can be put on and taken off quickly, protecting and wrapping in a breathable, lightweight upper.
The accompanying editorial lets the two new colorways of the HOKA One One Mafate Three2 take center stage, with their head-turning aesthetic and soles serving as the undeniable stars of the show. Stripping back all the other noise, every shot lets the design speak for themselves, honoring the powerhouse that is the Mafate Three2: a silhouette that seamlessly transition from the rugged outdoors to urban needs.
The ‘Stardust/ Cloudless’ and ‘Hoka Citrus’ colorways of the HOKA One One Mafate Three 2 are available at BSTN now. Pick up your pair via the button below!
