Built for achieving your personal best, the Rocket X 3 delivers a carbon-fibre super shoe that does not skimp on support. Maintaining the same responsive, high-performance foam as its predecessor, HOKA has updated the pace-pushing carbon fibre plate with new winglets and employed a sticky rubber outsole to inspire confidence in variable conditions. Enlisting a single-layer engineered mesh upper for enhanced breathability and a stitch-and-turn collar to help mitigate blisters, HOKA has removed the gusset for easier entry.

Technical knit upper
Lightweight, breathable and form-fitting, it provides targeted support while reducing the overall weight of the shoe.

Redesigned carbon plate
Integrated into an ultra-reactive PEBA foam, this plate allows for a more dynamic transition and increased propulsion.

New high-performance foam
Lighter and more elastic than the previous version, it offers exceptional energy return.

Reworked geometry
With a more aggressive midsole, the Rocket X 3 promotes a more efficient and explosive forefoot strike.
