HOKA Carbon X 3

The HOKA Carbon X 3 racing shoes have burst onto the scene with significant innovations that have increased their reactivity, support and fit. Undoubtedly, this is one of the French brand's most talked-about launches, combining speed, cushioning and lightness.

With the HOKA Carbon X 3 running shoes already on the market, at RUNNEA we are here to offer you all the new details. This is one of the most acclaimed models from the French brand and a benchmark for runners looking to beat their best times and it has undergone significant developments that affect the weight and reactivity of the model.

Main features of the HOKA Carbon X 3

HOKA's Carbon X series is one of the most popular among fast runners looking to push themselves both in competition and in long distance training. This trainer incorporates carbon fibre plating and Meta-Rocker technology which will propel you forward to reach very fast sub 4:15 min/km paces.

The third version of this model reduces its weight (making it 17 grams lighter than its predecessors) and has added some more reactivity to the trainer as a whole. The new CMEVA midsole features PROFLY technology for excellent cushioning and permanent shock absorption.

The model has the same structure as the previous version, the HOKA Carbon X 2, featuring carbon plating in combination with Meta-Rocker technology for unprecedented propulsion and momentum. The rocker shape really pushes the runner forward.

The model's main new features are located in its upper, which has a renewed instep (with a high-performance fabric) that provides a better fit so you can give it your all during runs. Thus, the French brand is committed to improving support and fit without sacrificing superior breathability. In addition, this latest version features an extended rear tongue to make it easier to put them on and take them off.

The EVA outsole ensures light contact with the training surface, prioritising grip and reactivity in running.
