TenNine Hike GTX

Part hovercraft and part hiking boot, the TenNine Hike GTX offers peak cushioning, durability, and traction with an extended, Hubble® heel geometry.

Engineered for an exceptionally smooth ride, this bold, new profile creates an efficient heel-to-toe transition. Thoughtfully designed through the lens of sustainability, the TenNine Hike utilizes GORE-TEX Leaf technology in its waterproof bootie, as well as recycled polyester through the collar, laces, heel pull, and vamp webbing.

Primed for shorter distances, the Rocket X utilizes the same responsive carbon-fiber plate as the Carbon X, delivering a fast, efficient, and propulsive ride. Built for race day, this speed dagger employs the lightest foam in HOKA history, a soft midsole carrier, breathable mesh upper, and lightweight, rubberized foam outsole that reduces weight.

Softer and bouncier than the previous iteration, the Mach 4 employs a harmonious blend of foams — merging an incredibly soft, lightweight foam on top with rubberized foam directly beneath. This up-tempo shoe has been crafted with a new pull tab, revamped upper made from heat-pressed TPU embroidered yarns, and a refined collar shape that alleviates pressure on the Achilles. Light, fast, and unquestionably responsive, the Mach 4 delivers a daily dose of speed.
