END. and HOKA Join Forces For The First Time

It's these off-road adventures, where self-reliance, resilience and enjoyment of the journey are key.

END. and HOKA join forces for the first time with their debut collaboration, “Overland”: a two-piece capsule drawing inspiration from the popular off-road adventure traveling. “Overlanding” is a form of long-distance, self-reliant travel where the journey itself is the main objective, typically carried out in four-wheel drive vehicles over unforgiving, often uncharted terrain.

It’s these off-road adventures — where self-reliance, resilience and enjoyment of the journey are key — that underpin END. and HOKA’s “Overland” capsule. The collaboration sees HOKA’s Mafate Speed 2 and Kaha Low reworked by the British retailer, chosen for their rugged, go-anywhere characteristics synonymous with the world of overlanding.

The Mafate Speed 2 is transformed in hues of green and beige, while the Kaha Low features various earthy green tones across its nubuck uppers — a direct reference the natural landscapes traversed during overlanding.

To add to the bespoke and collaborative look, each shoe features co-branded detailing throughout, ranging from an END. logo engineered into the uppers to tags worked into the tongues. The construction of each shoe remains unchanged, with Vibram® Megagrip soles on both and a GORE-TEX lining on the Kaha Low, ensuring they’re perfectly suited for off-road adventures.

The END. x HOKA “Overland” collection will launch via END. Launches on the 15th of March.
