Hoka Rocket X 3 - Yellow

First, yellow has been the color of the fastest cyclists for a century — and it belongs to runners too. The Hoka Rocket X 3 - Yellow applies that ambition to Hoka's most aggressive racing platform. Dual-layer PEBA foam and S-shaped carbon in the color of pure competitive intent.

Moreover, the Rocket X 3 is Hoka's answer to the super shoe era — delivering PEBA foam energy return and carbon plate propulsion in a geometry that maintains Hoka's distinctive stability.

PEBA Dual-Layer + S-Shaped Carbon: Hoka Racing Technology

Additionally, the Rocket X 3 uses dual-layer PEBA foam — stacking two PEBA compounds for a ride that combines cushioning depth with explosive energy return. The S-shaped carbon fiber plate adds propulsion while providing lateral stability that standard flat carbon plates cannot offer — making the Rocket X 3 more forgiving at race pace than most super shoes.

Engineered mesh upper: adaptive race fit. Rubber outsole. 220 g. 5 mm drop. 38 mm heel stack. Hoka's most capable racing platform.

For Who?

For Hoka runners ready to race. Best for athletes who want PEBA foam and carbon plate performance in Hoka's geometry.
