The second installment of our highly anticipated _J.L-A.L _collaboration, we joined forces with emerging U.K. designer, Jean-Luc Ambridge Lavelle, to reconceptualise one of HOKA's reigning trail titans. Built for long-haul efforts with high-energy foam and carbon-plated propulsion, we reimagined the Mafate X through _J.L-A.L _'s progressive lens with reflective hits, muted monochrome, and color-shifting reflective overlays. The result? A gravel gobbling trail runner that's equally at home around town. This collaboration explores the engagement between earth and water, dressed in the natural colours of the terrain. The Mafate X is built for long haul trail runs with supreme plushness and a propulsive carbon fibre plate. Best For: Trail Running, Woven Textile Upper, Protective Toe Cap, Smooth MetaRocker™, PEBA Top Layer, Carbon Fibre Plate, Dual-Density Foam Chassis, Vibram® Megagrip Outsole.
