HOKA Rocket X Trail Shoe
When The Oracle (Strava) says you haven't beaten your PR yet, maybe it's time to fix with a supershoe. Introducing the HOKA Rocket X Trail, a super-shoe designed for a faster time on less technical ultra-marathon courses. Like the Tecton X 3, this supershoe features an H-shaped carbon-fiber plate for enhanced dynamic propulsion and energy return, along with a highly secure upper and a minimalist tongue. The midsole has been inverted, flipped 180°, beneath the plate, to focus on shock absorption before pressure is distributed upward to the carbon plate. This allows the shoe to remain stable at high speeds and replace high cushion with a more targeted specialization on shock absorption. With a rocker profile that would make road super-shoes blush, and a lightweight Vibram outsole for unparalleled grip, the Rocket X Trail stays true to its name by allowing you to blast off and leave your competitors and old PR in the dust.
SkyRun Fit Tip - The Rocket X Trail fits true to your measured US size.
- Dual carbon H-shaped plate for dynamic energy propulsion.
- Inverted midsole to prioritize stability and shock absorption rather than cushion directly underfoot.
- Light, minimalistic, breathable mesh upper and low-volume tongue.
- Dynamic and breathable upper keeps your toes cool and flexible.
