What’s New?
H‑Frame™ stability
Out with the old J‑Frame, in with the new H‑Frame™. This fresh design supports your foot from both sides, giving you smoother, more natural stability – without that stiff, “corrective” feel.
Softer, lighter midsole
HOKA brought in even softer foam and more heel cushioning for a lighter, bouncier ride. It’s still protective, just with a cloud-like upgrade you’ll actually feel.
Cooler, comfier upper
Double jacquard mesh, a gusseted tongue and a redesigned heel all work together for a snug fit that stays breathable and blister-free – yes, please.
APMA Approved
It’s officially approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association, which basically means it’s foot doctor–approved for supporting your stride.
