Designed for runners seeking durability and comfort, the HOKA Challenger 7 delivers a balanced blend of responsiveness and support. Its lightweight EVA midsole absorbs impact while the signature Meta-Rocker design promotes seamless heel-to-toe transitions. The breathable engineered mesh upper ensures a secure, adaptive fit, and the durable rubber outsole provides reliable traction on technical Trails.
The Rundown
Street-approved. Trail tested.
Built at the intersection of road and trail, the new Challenger 7 has been completely reimagined from the ground up. Combining a simplified mesh upper with a soft new foam, we’ve increased the stack height for a plusher feel and added proprietary rubber to the bottom unit, along with a reimagined outsole design for the best all-terrain ride yet. Inspired by gravel tires, we’ve cued up smaller, tightly spaced lugs in center and larger, more aggressive lugs at the perimeter designed for improved traction on uneven terrain.
