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.

While less mainstream than its Speedcat counterpart, the H-Street sneaker is a classic shoe in Puma’s lineup. Having received less attention in recent seasons, this classic silhouette is far from forgotten. Along with Seoul-based brand OPEN YY, Puma is getting ready to take this iconic model to a whole new level. Mixing Puma’s athletic DNA and OPEN YY’s flair for cutting-edge streetwear, this collaboration may appear subtle but carries quite the punch. Appearing in three new colorways, the latest collaboration between these two brands utilizes sharp lines and minimalist details for a versatile shoe you can wear almost anywhere. Apart from the new footwear, the brands are collaborating on a series of apparel pieces that’ll arrive later this month.

No summer season would be complete without a pair of trusted sandals or flip-flops. When it comes to sandals and flip-flops, Havaianas is one of the standards to watch. The Brazilian brand has become a household name due to its refreshment of the flip-flop and turning it from another summer footwear to a fashionable accessory. With a campaign that stars former Dutch soccer player Edgar Davids, the new partnership between Amsterdam-based Patta and Havaianas is nothing short of a summer celebration. While the flip-flops don’t see any major change in silhouette or design, it does invoke details from both brands that embody the spirit of the partnership.

New Balance’s celestial blue is a denim-inspired sneaker for summer

New Balance releases new blue-inspired sneaker

Taking inspiration from the summer sky, New Balance’s newest sneaker is all about tonal blues. As part of New Balance’s MADE in UK line, the latest release from the athletic brand takes on the soft shade of blue for a new look that can almost pass for a denim material. While many brands have already managed to use denim to create unique footwear designs, this option from New Balance is a bit more versatile and stylish than the rest. Set to hit later this month, this New Balance sneaker is much closer to their traditional color palettes, rather than their latest series of neon and vibrant hues. While made for the peak summer season, the newest baby blue shoe is a year-round nab.
