HOKA introduces new tonal iterations of the Mafate Three2 silhouette. The shoe is defined by its chunky midsole unit, technical upper, and toggle lacing system. Another notable detail is the heel pull tab at the back of the shoe for a seamless fit.
The new colorway palettes that are joining the roster include Eggnog and Golden Yellow -- both of which have a gold tone to them. It comes in a golden hue throughout the upper, starting with the mesh base foundation before being overlaid to give it some structure. It rests on top of a white midsole unit for a tonal contrast. Another form of contrast is applied with a deep green detail throughout.
