Unleashed: HOKA Introduce the Mach X Caged

Few brands have rewritten the rules of performance footwear like HOKA. Born in the French Alps and built for descents, the label's catalogue of maximal silhouettes have gone from endurance purist fave to a much wider appreciation, celebrated a new collective of today's modern streetwear crowd.

Making its debut: the Mach X Caged. Known for borrowing tooling from existing models, the Annecy-founded label applies the same playbook to its latest silhouette – this time keeping the sole untouched while reworking everything above. Loaded with a PEBAX spring plate, sculpted geometry and supershoe foam, the model's aggro upper comes stacked with amoeba-like cut-outs that reveal a three-ply setup: TPU on the outside, microfibre locked in the middle, and mono mesh at the base, holding it all together.

You can cop the HOKA Mach X Caged on August 15 via the HOKA webstore, in-store locations and select retailers.
