HOKA released the Mafate Speed 4 Lite in Neon Dragonfruit and Black, a trail-focused speed shoe built for runners who want to move fast over technical terrain without sacrificing protection or grip.
HOKA has built its reputation on cushioning and ride quality since the brand’s founding. The Mafate Speed line sits in HOKA’s trail-running portfolio as the go-to option for runners who prioritize speed and responsiveness on varied ground, from rocky descents to rooted climbs. The Mafate Speed 4 Lite strips back weight compared to the full Mafate Speed 4, creating a lighter platform that still delivers the protection and ground feel trail runners need when conditions get technical.
The Neon Dragonfruit and Black colorway makes a visual statement on the trail. The bright primary color ensures visibility in low-light conditions or dense forest, while the black base provides practical contrast that pairs easily with most running gear and doesn’t show dirt as readily. The combination of vibrant accent and grounding dark tone reflects a long tradition in trail-shoe design, where safety and practicality meet aesthetic choice.
The HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite in Neon Dragonfruit and Black is available now at HOKA for $180. For runners exploring the brand’s trail offerings, the full Mafate Speed 4 remains available for those who prioritize maximum cushioning on the longest days.
