Men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 neon hoka citrus/black (1168716-NHK)

Men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 designed for runners moving on surfaces of varying difficulty – from paved roads to natural trails. The shoe construction combines effective cushioning with grip, facilitating smooth transitions between routes. The upper made of breathable technical mesh, made from recycled material, ensures lightness, breathability, and durability even in more demanding terrain.

New shape and better fit

Men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 use a new last shape that provides a greater drop and more precise fit in the forefoot and instep area. This modification improves step biomechanics and comfort during long runs. The slightly deepened foot profile reduces the feeling of pressure and allows better adaptation to the individual shape of the runner's foot.

Advanced midsole cushioning

Men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 feature a midsole made of compression-molded EVA foam, which improves step elasticity and effectively dampens vibrations. The increased amount of foam compared to the previous model improves ground contact and enhances stability on varied surfaces. This design supports the natural foot movement and reduces overload of the musculoskeletal system both when running on asphalt and on trail paths.

Multidirectional grip and protection

Men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 offer an outsole equipped with multidirectional 4 mm lugs that improve traction on various types of surfaces. The changed tread orientation effectively increases stability and confidence of step both on gravel and mud. The reinforced toe cap with 3D print protects toes from impacts, and reflective details increase visibility in low light conditions.

Eco-friendly and durable materials

Men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 feature an upper made entirely of technical mesh from recycled plastics. The use of recycled materials not only reduces the carbon footprint but also improves breathability and shortens drying time of the footwear. This production approach ensures durability and comfort while considering sustainable development requirements.
