As HOKA continues to push the boundaries between style and performance, its latest Mach X Caged release blends the needs for comfort and design. Like other brands, HOKA’s approach takes on a sculptural look, making it easier for users to wear this sneaker beyond the track. Similar to Adidas’ Climacool 3D sneaker, this HOKA piece infuses translucent details to create a sheer, see-through effect that elevates the typical sneaker into a piece of art. While this shoe is crafted with a new modern look, the technical aspects of the sneaker remain similar to the rest of the Mach lineup. Available in two colorways, Pea Green/Hoka Citrus and Black, the HOKA shoe is a contemporary approach to a classic shoe. 

HOKA’s Mach x Caged blends design and performance

Constructed with layered mesh and microfiber uppers, translucent TPU overlays add a material contrast. Cutouts in amoeba shapes and flow-molded textures add depth and movement to the design. Besides the design, the shoe’s premium technical features elevate the look for both performance and usability. Reflective accents aid in low-visibility situations for runners and casual wear alike. The HOKA Mach x Caged sneaker comes equipped with the brand’s Pebax propulsion plate and offers a responsive energy return for better performance. A dual-density foam cushioning delivers impact absorption and adds comfort to your step. The sneaker’s outsole confirms the Mach series’ traction and stability in all-terrain, whether you plan to wear it on a run or in the city. Available now via HOKA’s webstore, the sneaker will retail for $200.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Morteau, France-based Yema has added three new dial colors to its Superman Bronze CMM.10 lineup, and they might be the best-looking version of this watch yet.

The brown, green, and white dials all get the same glossy, lacquered treatment, with applied gilt-finished logos, raised hour markers, and diamond-cut hands that catch light in a way flat-printed dials just can’t match.
