HOKA x XLIM Mafate Speed 2 "Grey Foam"

HOKA®, proudly announces its collaboration with XLIM, a South Korean brand at the intersection of fashion, architecture, and art. This partnership reimagines HOKA’s Mafate Speed 2, merging the trail shoe’s technical performance with a distinct streetwear perspective.

Inspired by the way materials evolve over time in nature, the design explores the tension between organic elements and man-made structures. Through textures and a refined color palette, XLIM’s experimental approach is seamlessly integrated with HOKA’s performance-driven design. The result is a collection that tells a layered visual story while maintaining the integrity of HOKA’s technical foundation.

The HOKA x XLIM Mafate Speed 2 pushes the boundaries of performance-meets-lifestyle footwear, reflecting the continued evolution of sneaker culture and the convergence of creative communities.

“The Mafate Speed 2 makes the perfect palette for XLIM as it combines a technical and utilitarian form, and affords a depth of treatments that embody the post-modern fashion aesthetic that XLIM is well known for,” said Thomas Cykana, Senior Director of Global Collaborations at HOKA. “This weathered aesthetic is a nod to nature’s ability to season the Earth through passing of time, and results in a multifaceted expression where performance and progressive design intertwine.”
