Street-approved. Trail tested. The HOKA Challenger ATR gets a new exciting update in its 7th edition, a complete reimagination from the ground up.

The Challenger ATR 7 has a new compression-moulded EVA foam midsole and increased stack height, providing a softer and plusher feel. The engineered mesh upper and extended heel pull gives a snugger fit and is more breathable and lighter. The outsole is redesigned with tightly spaced small lugs in the centre, and larger more aggressive lugs at the perimeter, and overall 4mm lugs for improved traction on uneven terrain.

Amazing shoes. So comfortable. So

"Amazing shoes. So comfortable. So good for sore feet"

An off-road Clifton 9 👟🏞️

"Pretty much an off-road Clifton 9. The outsole offers enough protection and grip on reasonably technical trails even though it's not as sticky as megagrip. Feels light and stable like a HOKA. Runs a smidge narrow. Heel toe offset is higher than 5mm. Enough cushion and comfort for long efforts. I really rate the shoe, I will probably buy another pair. Switching between the Clifton 9 and challenger 7 is a breeze."
