The HOKA Mafate is one of the brand's iconic silhouettes, recognizable by its generous volume and its approach to comfort on demanding terrain.
A story inspired by Réunion Island
The name Mafate refers to the Mafate cirque on Réunion Island, a mountainous territory known for its steep trails. This environment evokes the challenges of trail running and the search for cushioning, stability, and grip.
The origins of HOKA Mafate
Founded in 2009 by Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard, HOKA quickly distinguished itself with its thick soles and its unique approach to running shoes. The Mafate is among the models that helped build this identity.
A constantly evolving silhouette
Over the generations, the Mafate range has evolved to meet the expectations of trail enthusiasts, with constructions adapted to technical terrain. Depending on the version, the cushioning technologies, outsoles, and materials have been reworked.
From the mountains to the city
Its functional aesthetic and imposing silhouette have also found their place in contemporary fashion. Today, the Mafate universe appeals to both outdoor enthusiasts and sneaker lovers.
