HOKA has just unveiled a Japan-exclusive take on two of its most trusted trail silhouettes, the Speedgoat 2 and Mafate Speed 2. Wrapped in a rich walnut and cast iron colorway that feels equally at home on rocky terrain and city sidewalks these are trail shoes, but make them quietly cool.
Both models lean into an earthy, grounded palette, with deep nutty brown uppers setting the tone and rich iron grey accents cutting through the quarters, tongues and laces of the sneaker. The result is a rugged-meets-refined sneaker that tones things down without losing the signature HOKA edge. Subtle branding and tonal detailing keep it sleek, while still performance-first.
On the tech side, the Speedgoat 2 does what it does best, delivering serious grip thanks to a Vibram MEGAGRIP outsole with aggressive lugs, plus a wide, cushioned midsole for stability when the trail gets unpredictable. Meanwhile, the Mafate Speed 2 is built for the long haul, featuring a deep Active Foot Frame and Meta-Rocker geometry for smooth, effortless transitions over distance.
Whether you’re clocking miles off-road or just appreciate a trail shoe that knows how to dress itself, this Stealth/Tech duo hits that sweet spot between function and fashion.
