While Hoka is known for constantly innovating new styles, it hasn’t stopped the brand from upgrading its existing models. Although Hoka has already announced plenty of newer designs to explore, the popular athletic company has also unveiled new hues for its Mafate Speed 4 silhouette. This rugged and sturdy running shoe is one of the brand’s most innovative sneakers, and its latest colorways have made it the perfect option for the summer season. Hoka is no secret to bold looks, but its two latest hues bring a new pastel and fluorescent touch to its lineup, expanding its appeal for the season.

HOKA’s Mafate Speed 4 Lite gets a colorful look

Just in time for the summer season, Hoka’s Mafate Speed 4 Lite has been released in two new colorways. Now available in Starlight Glow/Aster Flower and Luna Moth/Cosmic Grey, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite dons a new pastel lilac hue and almost fluorescent green color. Starlight Glow/Aster Flower offers a lilac color with an understated pastel accent, while Luna Moth delivers a bright green hue with accented greys. Both colorways have a supportive fit, maximum cushioning, and a soft microfiber collar. The uppers are crafted from a breathable, transparent, lightweight TPU mesh that offers an airy feel. As a bonus for night runners, the design comes with a protective ripstop nylon and 3M logo detail to enhance visibility. The sneakers come equipped with a stacked Vibram Megagrip sole with Litebase construction, which adds durability and traction. Both new colorways are available now via HOKA’s webstore and retail for $180 each.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.

Coffee Table, Furniture, Table
