While HOKA has collaborated with many brands and designers over the seasons, none have had the same splash as the HOKA x Satisfy sneaker. Considered one of their best of 2024, the HOKA x Satisfy collaboration initially saw the release of the Mafate Speed 4 Lite in various forms over the year. Released in two different colorways, the HOKA x Satisfy collaboration was a crowd favorite. With the shoe constantly sold out since its release, it became difficult for finds to find a pair of the design. Even when it came to pop-ups hosted by the brand, there was no doubt that the sneaker would fly off the shelf. However, HOKA fans still looking for a pair will be delighted to hear that their most wanted design is ready for its general release.

Although the general release of the Mafatae Speed 4 Lite doesn’t come under the umbrella of the HOKA x Satisfy collaboration, the overall design and silhouette remain the same. The general release includes transparent uppers with protective ripstop nylon, giving the shoe a unique see-through look. Featuring no-sew overlays, the shoe remains a lightweight option that doesn’t compromise performance. These HOKA shoes are ready for a stylish performance and are available in striking Cold Brew/Oat Milk and Black/Outer Orbit colorways. The only difference between the shoe’s general release and previous iterations is the lack of the Satisfy branding. While you won’t enjoy donning an original HOKA x Satisfy shoe, this release ensures the general public can obtain a pair of these techy lightweight sneakers. Available via HOKA’s website and selected retailers, the Mafatae Speed 4 Lite retails for $180.

HOKA joins the fun with its own sneaker-loafer hybrid

HOKA releases new hybrid shoe

Following New Balance’s announcement of new colors and fabrics for their controversial sneaker-loafer design, a new brand is emerging to follow suit. HOKA is joining the hybrid design by releasing their version of the sneaker-loafer hybrid, with an interesting look that differs from those released by New Balance. Using a mixture of design features that integrate traditional sneaker and loafer silhouettes, the newest offering from HOKA is anything but typical. For those looking to dress up their comfort shoes or want to add some cushion to their dress shoes, the HOKA hybrid is a perfect balance that’s both traditional and bold. While this look is bound to come with split opinions, there’s no doubt that many athletic brands are looking to break the mold of style and practicality.
Meet HOKA’s Speed Loafer

Unlike New Balance’s 1906L, Hoka’s Speed loafer infuses the top of a dress loafer with the bottom of a sneaker for the ultimate definition of a hybrid shoe. Using a leather upper and Vibram Megagrip outsole, this sleek black hybrid shoe is quite the silhouette. Inside the design, a leather sockliner elevates the sneaker loafer with the use of premium material. Reflective piping and suede mudguard add traditional sneaker elements to the design. Expected to hit HOKA’s website on January 31, the sneaker-loafer will retail for $185. Regardless if you wear the shoe as an elegant sneaker or a casual loafer, there’s no doubt that HOKA’s hybrid shoe opens the door to future bold designs. While the jury is still out on how this hybrid shoe fairs with HOKA fans, it’s an eye-raising silhouette that deserves a chance.

The Normal Released the best blazer of the fall and you can still get it

Elevate your tailored wardrobe with the ultimate casual blazer of 2025

You know us, we LOVE a good suit and a good sport coat. When they are done right, they are the best kind of garment, tailored perfectly, elevated, and stylish; the job is almost done for you. Whether you are looking for the best suit on the market or whether you need an excellent sport coat for the office, certain styles are classic. The navy and blue options are never going out of style; the tweed look is the perfect fall and winter variety. But The Normal Brand had a different idea this season, and it ended up being the best option of the fall, and people noticed. The Normal Brand Hawthorne Cord Blazer shakes up your tailored wardrobe in the best way possible.
Reinvent your tailored wardrobe

If you think back to 2021, a trend made a brief appearance and then slipped away quietly without much fanfare. Daniel Craig appeared in his final turn as James Bond in No Time to Die and rocked a three-piece corduroy suit in the opening salvo. While the look didn't blow up how it should have, the image still sears four years later. The Normal Brand piggybacked on that idea and offered a double-breasted blazer option that elevates your tailored wardrobe with a casual look that makes you look as sleek as James Bond without the stylist. It is extra warm, making it perfect for winter. It was popular enough that it is going quickly, but if you're lucky enough to get your hands on one, it will be your go-to all winter long.

After a year of incredible collaborations, atmos and ASICS are finishing the year with their brightest sneaker yet. Looking to tap into a popular childhood sneaker feature, their newest drop is all about a unique shoe, unlike anything they’ve released this year. Ushering in their fifth collaboration of the year, the latest sneaker follows suit with innovation and one-of-a-kind details you won’t find elsewhere. Coupled with Asics’ performance technology, the newest sneaker is crafted with everything you need to start the new year with a statement.
atmos x ASICS GT-2160 “Tapetum”

Crafted with black mesh uppers and silver overlays, ASICS and atmos’ newest sneaker is the brightest and sleekest design from the pair yet. Using reflective 3M detailing, the new ‘Tapetum’ sneaker is all about creating a ‘glow-in-the-dark’ inspired effect in low light. Inside the sneaker is a camo-patterned insole in grey and black for a stealth look. Completing the look is a black foam midsole for extra comfort and cushion. The collaborative’s name comes from the inspiration behind the design, the reflective tapetum lucidum layer you see in animal eyes.
