This Plated Trainer Brings Race-Day Speed and Propulsion to Everyday Mileage and Workouts
HOKA’s well-loved uptempo training shoe is back and better than ever with its third iteration. The fast and uptempo Mach X 3 is ready to deliver race-day speed and energy to your workouts, uptempo mileage, and even long runs.
The key to the Mach X 3’s exceptional bounce and energy return lies in its midsole design and construction. The dual-density midsole has a firm PEBA top layer for a snappy and responsive ride. Inside the midsole, you’ll find a PEBAX plate for even more pop and propulsion with every landing. The speed-focused Metarocker design also works with the midsole to keep you moving forward and encourage smooth and effortless turnover.
The Mach X 3 also saw a redesign of the upper, which now features a breathable woven material and extra padding along the tongue and heel collar. Last but not least, the sticky rubber outsole provides extra security and traction so you can feel confident as you pick up the pace or take to the track for a speed workout. So whether you’re looking for some extra speed in your daily mileage or an uptempo shoe for your next race, the Mach X 3 can be your perfect running partner.
