While HOKA knows how to craft a performance shoe for all your physical activity needs, their recent collaborations have taken them to a new stylish level. This time around the athletic company is working with the Parisian-based Satisfy to once again rework the Mafate Speed 4 Lite in two new colorways. At the end of 2023, the two brands first redesigned this sneaker in “Rubber” and “Sulfur” colors and now they’ve taken to it once again to show off new tones. Sticking to the minimalist tones, these new colorways are perfect for those looking for sneakers that fit any style or wardrobe. While trail sneakers are plenty, these new redesigns are a modern refresh on a quality pair.

HOKA and Satisfy have introduced another round of minimalist trail sneakers that dazzle against the dirt using brown, black, and off-white tones throughout the two new colorways. The ‘Bone’ color uses an off-cream technical upper with transparent and lightweight TPU mesh for a minimalist and sleek look. Added features like the protective ripstop nylon, a soft microfiber collar, and an extra-thin lace construction offer a premium touch to the sneaker for any active person. The “Coffee” hue utilizes the same construction and craft but with dark brown and black tones throughout. Both new sneakers come with Vibram Megagrip with Litebase Construction and a new resilient, lightweight foam. An airy sneaker with a high-quality finish, there’s no doubt that the collaboration between HOKA and Satisfy continues to deliver hits. These new sneakers retail for $210 each and are now available via HOKA and Satisfy. Bound to sell out quickly, fans of the minimalist look should hurry to grab their own.

Whether or not you’re headed to the track in November, the Trinity sneaker has plenty of style and practicality for outside the race weekend. Although many commemorative items lose significance after the event, the Trinity sneaker allows fans to show off their spirit year-round. Composed of black and purple colorways, this sneaker is sleek and modern. The leather and mesh uppers give the shoe contrasting materials that give it an extra edge. This collaborative sneaker includes a purple IMEVA midsole and SoftFoam+ sockliner for extra comfort and support. Above the Formstrip, a Formula 1 rubber logo gives a subtle nod to the sport. Additional details such as heel pulls and lace tips don a neon red color, which injects an extra hue into the design. Far from an average merch product, the Trinity sneaker mixes racing, style, and versatility in one practical form. These sneakers and the rest of the collection, should be available via PUMA’s site and select retailers, although the brand has yet to make them open for purchase.

Did you know there was more than one way to lace a men's dress shoe?

Many situations warrant dress shoes, such as formal occasions, work, or holidays. However, as important as the shoe’s design is to achieve your look, it’s also key to know proper lace-tying etiquette. While it might seem minor to some, how you tie your laces can add an extra touch to your outfit that takes it to the next level. How you tie your dress shoes will largely depend on the type of laces and shoes you have. Those with thicker laces might be easier to tie with a simple method rather than one that is more intricate. Brands typically recommend leaving pre-laced shoes as is to get the best style. Most of the time, laces should be either black or brown, but colorful hues have become more prominent as many men look to express their sense of style more. Keep reading for our guide on how to lace men's dress shoes.
Criss Cross method

The most common lacing technique is the criss-cross technique, which is most likely to be used with dress shoes. Criss-cross is the easiest method if you’re looking to tighten up your laces for a more comfortable fit. This technique will also give you the shortest laces at the end, avoiding an excess amount that hangs while walking.
