A new flex for your running shoe rotation, the latest Rocket X 3 serves up the same speed-focused ride in a quietly commanding silhouette. Co-created with John Elliott, Hoka approached this carbon-plated super shoe through the lens of John Elliott's design philosophy — timeless construction with a refined visual language that transitions beyond the road.
Drawing from the Northern Californian roots, the design pulls from the coastline’s natural cues — pairing a road-ready rubber sole and resilient high-performance foam with a bold camouflage upper designed to be seen.
