HOKA Rocket X
A lightweight, propulsive carbon-plated racer built for speed.

- Lightweight responsive foam tuned for energy return
- Aggressive Meta-Rocker for a fast, rolling ride
- Breathable race-day upper that locks the foot in at speed
The HOKA Rocket X is engineered for one purpose: to help you run fast on race day. At its core sits a full-length carbon-fiber plate that stiffens the ride and delivers a snappy, propulsive sensation with every push-off, working in harmony with a lightweight, responsive foam midsole tuned for energy return. An aggressive Meta-Rocker geometry sharpens the rolling motion, rolling you quickly and efficiently toward toe-off so you can hold pace and conserve energy over race distances. The breathable, race-day upper keeps weight to a minimum and locks your foot in for the surges, turns, and final kicks that separate personal bests from near-misses. For competitive runners chasing faster times over 5K to the marathon, the Rocket X blends carbon-plate propulsion with HOKA's cushioned DNA — a fast, lively, and confidence-inspiring shoe built to help you cross the line quicker.
