HOKA ONE ONE introduces the latest and fourth iteration of the Mach 4 running shoe model. The functional design is sleek and is noted for its responsive construction. It is designed with themes inspired by the Rocket X and the Carbon X running models. The latest Mach 4 keeps longevity in mind, made for runners to comfortably strut through miles.
The lightweight element of the shoe makes it a perfect lifestyle piece. It is made from foam materials that sit on top of a rubberized outsole unit to allow for quick response and bounce. The back of the shoe features a pull tab for east access and complete with heat-pressed TPU embroidered yarn at the collar to alleviate pressure.
