Nicole McLaughlin Creates a HOKA Mafate Three2 Sneaker
References: highsnobiety
The HOKA Mafate Three2 sneaker model is an intricate outdoor silhouette prepared for various terrains. Designer Nicole McLaughlin works on the sneaker and presents a new iteration. The shoe retains all of the technical outdoor elements including the Vibram Megagrip outsole unit, toggled quick lace systems, and lightweight build of technical fabrics throughout the upper.
The highlight of the collaboration is the detachable shroud that could alter the sporty footwear into a boot. It also has space to carry small items -- the compact components add protection at the top of the shoe and it attaches by the loop along the front toe unit. In terms of the colorway, it has bright yellow with red stitching for a bold contrast.
