Nicole McLaughlin x HOKA MAFATE THREE2 Shoes

Designer Nicole McLaughlin has gained a significant following for her unique and playful designs that often incorporate a DIY aesthetic. After working with brands like Reebok, she has collaborated with various footwear brands, including Vault by Vans and Diemme. Her latest collaboration is with HOKA, introducing a twist to their newest silhouette, the MAFATE THREE2.

The MAFATE THREE2 combines elements from the MAFATE 2 and MAFATE 3 models, giving them a street-ready look. The shoe features a quick-lace system and a Vibram sole unit. For McLaughlin's take on the design, she has added a gaiter that raises the collar of the shoe, transforming it into a high-top. The gaiter is black with red and neon green stitching, complemented by blue HOKA and Nicole McLaughlin tags. Underneath the gaiter, the upper of the shoe is gray and yellow with black and white lines. The sole unit is predominantly red with touches of yellow for contrast.

The HOKA MAFATE THREE2 made its debut on October 27, and Nicole McLaughlin's gaiter-equipped collaboration will be available shortly after, starting from November 3. Stay tuned for updates on the launch procedure and additional looks at this unique pair.
