Key Specifications:

Released on 10 May 2023. Known for its versatility, it is designed for runners who transition between pavement and moderate trails, providing a smooth ride on both surfaces.

Design Highlights:

"Bellwether Blue" Colorway: Features a deep blue upper (Bellwether Blue) with lighter blue (Stone Blue) accents on the midsole and overlays.

Plush Cushioning: Built with a new, compression-moulded EVA foam midsole that is softer and lighter than previous versions, providing significant shock absorption.

Hybrid Outsole: The Durabrasion rubber outsole features 4mm lugs inspired by gravel tyres—closely spaced in the centre for a smooth road ride and larger at the perimeter for trail traction.

Engineered Mesh Upper: Constructed from recycled yarns (Unifi REPREVE), the upper offers a snug, simplified fit with a tall heel pull for easy entry.

Stable Ride: Features a wide base and HOKA's Active Foot Frame to provide inherent stability for neutral runners without being overly corrective.

Usage & Care:

Versatility: Described as a "best all-rounder" for those whose runs are a mix of road and tracks.

Fit: The upper is reported to have a narrow fit, particularly in the toebox; runners with wider feet may prefer the "Wide" version.

Ideal Terrain: Best for mild to moderate trails, gravel roads, and urban surfaces. It is not recommended for highly technical or extremely muddy terrain.
