Product Highlights:
The HOKA Rocket X Trail super shoe brings road-racing energy to the trail, designed for runners who want maximum speed on buffed paths and open fire roads. With a propulsive carbon-fiber plate and aggressive rocker geometry, this lightweight shoe delivers fast transitions and a responsive ride that's ready to go all-out.
The midsole features a dual-layer setup of HOKA's next-generation superfoam. It cushions long trail races while maintaining highly responsive speed for tempo runs and strategic surges. An H-shaped carbon-fiber plate adds dynamic propulsion without sacrificing control. Underfoot, a minimal outsole with lightweight zonal rubber and 3 mm lugs keeps the weight down while still offering enough grip for dirt and gravel.
Up top, a stripped-back engineered mesh upper with a stretchy dynamic vamp and sleek tongue provides a race-day fit that stays secure without distractions.
This is the go-to shoe for fast trail running and athletes chasing maximum speed on forest service roads and non-technical terrain.
