HOKA Introduces Mafate 5 With Rocker Integrity Technology and 109.6-Mile Strava Challenge

It brings a dual-density EVA midsole with a TPU rock plate to preserve rocker geometry over long distances.

Overview

  • Rocker Integrity Technology embeds a curved TPU plate between firmer SCF EVA and softer CMEVA foams to maintain the MetaRocker shape as mileage accumulates.
  • A warp-knit upper wrapped in a flow-molded TPU cage delivers 360-degree protection and includes new gaiter attachment points for debris management.
  • The Vibram Megagrip outsole features 5 mm traction lugs in a proven pattern to enhance grip on wet, loose, and uneven surfaces.
  • The Mafate 5 is available now at $185 through HOKA’s website and select retailers, weighing 332 g in men’s US 10 with an 8 mm drop.
  • From August 8 to September 12, the Strava challenge invites runners to log 109.6 miles for chances to win UTMB race trips and HOKA gear.
