HOKA takes its name from the Māori language phrase meaning “to fly,” a reference that’s embodied in its many exceptional, high-performance running shoes. This commitment to blending quality, lightweight materials with innovative design features is evident throughout the brand’s latest release, the HOKA Mach X 3 running shoe.

Designed as a propulsive speed training partner for serious athletes, the HOKA Mach X 3 running shoe is a visually striking entry to the brand’s eclectic line-up. A plated daily runner built to last, the HOKA Mach X 3’s thick soles and integrated padding are oriented toward experienced runners who are active all year round.

Sporting a warp-knit upper and dual-density midsole, they offer robust protection and resilience, with additional comfort and support provided by the PEBA top layer. The HOKA Mach X 3 running shoes also utilize the brand’s speed-centric MetaRocker. At the same time, the application of compression-molded sticky rubber ensures a firm and consistent grip on both wet and dry surfaces.

Additional design elements that enhance the performance of the HOKA Mach X 3 running shoes include a symmetrical bed of cushioning, which alleviates strain during lengthy running sessions. With a low profile, this cushioning doesn’t impede the runner’s speed, while also providing a highly efficient push-off.

With a slick visual style that blends greens and yellows surrounding the iconic logo, the HOKA Mach X 3 running shoes are another compelling entry from a brand with a strong reputation among athletes.
