Of all our past featured artists whose creations just might be the pop in pop culture, our money would be on the crafty genius of Nicole McLaughlin, who caught our eye back in her early days of making useful Sharpie earrings and recycling tennis balls into beanies. Bringing her sustainability prowess to the corporate level makes sense, and brands like HOKA need that ingenuity. McLaughlin’s newest collaboration is the HOKA Mafate Three2. With a modular gaiter and 5 pockets for secret stashes, you get multiple utilitarian looks in one. The colorway is wild, and only a true artist with outdoorsy (or breakdancing) tendencies could pull it off. Let that be you.
The shoe is sold out on Hoka.com but available in other shops.Â
