HOKA Tecton X 3
GGR Score: 4

Product Highlights

  • These race-ready trail shoes feature an innovative carbon plate layout within the midsole for added energy return.

  • As showcased in previous iterations, HOKA retains its Vibram Megagrip outsole with this Tecton X 3.

  • The Matryx textile upper, per our tester, is lightweight, breathable, and surprisingly resilient.

  • At the time of writing, the Tecton X 3s are only available in a singular, albeit vibrant, colorway.
