[HOKA's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lite-stsfy) signature [Mafate Speed 2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-and-end) sneakers are bold in design and a popular silhouette amongst fans and it is getting a special makeover by British retail [imprint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24-loafer) END. The duo join heads to create a two-piece set highlighting the shoe as the base canvas.

Joining the two updates will be the Kaha Low silhouette, which is a tough design ready to combat outdoor terrain with ease. The color palette for the series nods to earthy tones with a series of green, beige, and brown paneling throughout the looks. All of the shoes rest on top of a grippy Vibram midsole unit and a cushioned CMEVA shock-absorbing midsole for comfort all day long. There is also the Early-stage Meta-Rocker Gemetry integrated for balance and stability.
