Arriving in two new colorways, “Cast Iron/Mineral Brown” and “Frost/Black,” the new Mafate THREE2 sneakers continue to amaze after reappearing from the archives. “Cast Iron” arrives with a dark charcoal mesh featuring brown overlays, adding a touch of color that remains neutral and minimalist.

Both iterations feature breathable mesh and synthetic overlays for optimal comfort and fit. A compression-molded EVA midsole provides impact absorption and plush cushioning, enhancing comfort with every step. On the outside, the Vibram Megagrip outsole gives users traction on any surface. The new Mafate THREE2 are available via Billy’s and Hoka’s online platforms, as well as selected third-party retailers.

As the summer continues to roll by, it’s clear that more people are yearning to get outside. Whether it's team sports or individual activities like hiking or running, it seems as though the world of physical activity is becoming increasingly prominent in everyday life.
