Satisfy x Hoka Mafate Speed 4 Lite

I always get excited whenever Satisfy teams up w/ Hoka on a collab. Their last design is one of my favorite pairs of hokas that I own & once again, they did a great job on these too.

Materials: the upper of this sneaker has hits of rip stop in a brown shade that is a tad bit see through, but there's also other parts that are done in a darker non-see-through rip stop. On the mud guard, there's satisfy branding printed on top of a somewhat sturdy, brown rubber panel that can be found on other areas like the eyelets & around the back heel. Also found on the back heel is a light 🤎 pull tab w/ Hoka branding on the left pair & Satisfy on the right. Moving to the interior, there's a brown suede (I think) sockliner with extra padding around your foot & on the insole, it has satisfy branding sitting on top of a rip stop patterned imprint. My favorite part is the midsole, bc it has a somewhat faded/pre worn look to it & that's something you don't see to often tbh. Overall, I feel like Satisfy & Hoka continue their streak with some great designs.

Comfort/Sizing: the Mafate Speed 4 Lite is a light & comfortable 👟. It has a spongey feeling on foot & can easily be worn for extended periods of time. For sizing I got these in my TTS and they fit me perfectly. I'd recommend sticking with your tts as well.

Overall opinion: I don't know what it is about their collabs that I like so much, but they're always simple and clean cws done and unique ways that are fun to wear. Plus, given that it's a Hoka, it's pretty much always going to be comfortable & will get a ton of wear. Between the 2, l the brown is my favorite but the green cw is really good in hand as well & definitely a 💤💤.
