Hoka Rocket X 3 - White Blue Black First, the Hoka Rocket X 3 - White Blue Black applies one of running's most classic color combinations to Hoka's most capable racing platform. White and Blue on dual-layer PEBA foam and S-shaped carbon — the colorway of a runner who earns attention through performance, not color. 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.
