All the new Carbon X 3 They are already on sale and they come with a series of novelties that will take their users to another dimension with each stride.

The nnew midsole, even more responsive than those used in its predecessors, combined with the now iconic carbon fiber plate cause these new Carbon X 3 to be one of the models most complete on the market for running on asphalt.

In addition to this improvement in the midsole, the brand's new model also brings new features in the upper, which is built with a new fabric designed to improve the fit to the foot and resistance over time.

It is a very complete model, in which a meta rocker (the curvature of the sole of the shoe) much more aggressive and that will allow runners to accumulate more kilometers efficiently and at high rates.

Undoubtedly, a combination of improvements that make this third version of the HOKA model, without a doubt, the best of this young saga.

• They're also lighter than their predecessors (17g lighter on the men's version and 10g lighter on the women's version), thanks to an updated mesh upper with engineered knit covering the tongue and integrated eyelets to create an extraordinary fit. Now, knitted areas on the instep provide increased breathability, support and comfort.
