Men's Tecton X 3 Trail Running Shoes Squid Ink / Neon Flame
HOKA Tecton X 3 — Carbon-Plated Propulsion for the Trail
The HOKA Tecton X 3 is built for runners who want race-day speed on technical terrain without compromising on stability or protection. Two layers of PEBA — HOKA's lightest, most resilient foam compound — sit beneath patent-pending parallel carbon fibre plates upgraded with winglets for extra stability where the trail demands it most. The result is a trail shoe that propels you forward through gnarly terrain whilst keeping you planted and confident underfoot.
Dual-Layer PEBA with Carbon Fibre Plates
Two layers of PEBA deliver a lightweight, resilient midsole that maintains its responsive characteristics across long trail efforts and back-to-back race days. The parallel carbon fibre plates — now featuring patent-pending winglets — add targeted lateral stability without sacrificing the propulsive, forward-driving feel that defines the Tecton X line. A speed-centric MetaRocker™ geometry keeps transitions smooth and momentum building through every stride.
Built for Technical Terrain
A redesigned Vibram® Megagrip Litebase outsole with 4mm Traction Lugs offers improved grip across varied trail conditions — repositioned and reshaped for better traction whether you're climbing, descending or navigating loose ground. A dynamic vamp allows feet to splay naturally as the miles pile up, whilst the ghillie lace construction delivers a secure, dialled-in fit across the forefoot. The lightweight Matryx® textile upper makes this the most durable and trail-worthy Tecton X yet, and a gaiter-like extended knit collar rises from the tongue to block trail debris before it becomes a distraction.
