Hoka One One Challenger ATR 4 in detail

Although it is true that the Clifton range of the brand is the most suitable for trail running, the new Challenger ATR is not far behind. It is a light and fast shoe that offers a smooth and comfortable ride.

The outsole is composed of a 4mm lugging system for a firm and secure grip when the terrain is tricky. The lugs are attached in the center of the sole for a smoother ride. In the forefoot, on the other hand, these lugs are separated in order to adapt well to uphill surfaces and not to slip on wet surfaces.

The midsole of this Hoka One One could be said to be robust, with 29mm in the rear and 24mm in the front. With a 5mmdrop, it provides stability, cushioning and a secure feel to the runner.

One of the novelties of these Challenger ATR 4 is its upper. The brand has incorporated a new Nylon outer layer that provides durability and prevents the shoe from getting dirty easily. In addition, it offers extra protection and support as it is accompanied by an extension of the lacing system to the midsole.

The weight is 254gr, so we are in front of a lightweight shoe, ideal for those runners looking for a fast, comfortable run with maximum cushioning. They are a perfect choice for the summer, a shoe that breathes, is lightweight, stable and durable. They make complicated surfaces a much easier and more bearable run.
