HOKA Launches a New Spring-Ready Mafate Speed 4 Lite

— May 16, 2025 — Fashion
HOKA introduces a look at its latest tonal iteration of the iconic Mafate Speed 4 Lite model. It is launched in a fusion of Starlight Glow and Aster Flower, and Lina Moth and Cosmic Grey. The sneaker models are set to launch officially on May 16th and can be purchased at HOKA and other retailer locations.

The first of the two colorways has a lilac color palette with muted pastel shades. The Luna Moth follows with a pale yet bright green which gives off the idea that it may glow in the dark. This is joined by a quieter Cosmic Grey, which is seen in the decorative overlays. The silhouette is made with premium materials to give a supportive fit and elevated cushioning.
