The partnership between HOKA and _J.L-A.L_ merges progressive design from London with technical expertise rooted in performance.

The result is the Mafate X - a hybrid silhouette that combines high-performance innovation with a contemporary aesthetic.

The design draws on the DNA of trail running and translates it into everyday life.

A blend of dynamic forms and functional aesthetics turns the shoe into a statement that performs just as well on the streets of London as it does on demanding trails.

An innovative midsole with HOKA’s signature cushioning delivers maximum performance and lasting comfort.

A rugged outsole provides grip and stability across any terrain, while the breathable mesh upper adds lightness and a modern edge.

The collaboration underscores both partners’ commitment to rethinking functionality without compromising on design.
