The First-Ever END. x HOKA Collaboration Has Arrived
UK-based retailer are known for their sizeable collaborative catalogue, but now for the first time ever, they’ll partner with . Looking to the great outdoors, END. have decked out the Mafate Speed 2 and Kaha Low in a pack inspired by overlanding or 4WD touring.
‘When working together on this project, we wanted to honor the performance aspects of HOKA but craft a story which made sense for us. We landed on "Overlanding", embodying durability, functionality, and adventurous spirit, perfect for the modern explorer navigating both city streets and off-road terrains,’ said Callum Hill, Senior Collaborations Manager at END. ‘Much like the synergy between an active lifestyle and off-roading, there is a constant goal, either finishing the race or making it further than anyone else has before, similar to our approach to design or brand curation, it's always about doing something new and unexpected.’
Both pairs exude a similar vibe, kitted out with alternating green and cream tones that give off a desert feel. The Kaha Low is decked out in a mostly suede base while the Mafate remains mostly in mesh with synthetic panels. Completing both is the GORE-TEX lined upper and rugged Vibram sole down below.
Both the END. x HOKA Mafate Speed 2 and Kaha Low will be available via the retailer’s brick-and-mortar locations and Launches platform on March 8.
