Built for achieving your personal best, the Rocket X 3 delivers a carbon-fiber super shoe that doesn’t skimp on support. Maintaining the same responsive, high-performance foam as its predecessor, we’ve updated our pace-pushing carbon fiber plate with new winglets and employed a sticky rubber outsole to inspire confidence in variable conditions. Enlisting a single-layer engineered mesh upper for enhanced breathability and stitch-and-turn collar to help mitigate blisters, we’ve removed the gusset for easier entry.

Item No. 1168724

Features:
  • Dual-density PEBA foam

WHAT'S NEW

​

We’ve improved traction with a sticky rubber outsole, streamlined the collar, enhanced breathability, updated our carbon fiber plate with winglets, and removed the gusset.

Stability

The Rocket X 3 contains our J-Frame(TM) technology designed to prevent excessive inward roll, or overpronation, without overcorrecting your gait.

The Rocket X 3 contains features that make the shoe inherently stable, such as a wide base and our Active Foot Frame, for a moderate amount of stability that is still designed to work for neutral gaits.

The Rocket X 3 features a symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive technologies. Designed to provide the support you want and nothing you don't.

Cushion

The Rocket X 3 features a low-profile cushion bed that keeps your foot closer to the ground, and utilizes a firmer material designed to provide an efficient push-off.

The Rocket X 3 is designed to provide protective cushion while maintaining a responsive toe-off for when you want to go faster.

The Rocket X 3 features a higher bed of soft cushion, designed to provide a forgiving impact and ride.

    Speedy Little Rockets

    These were a birthday gift to myself. An intentional backup pair of runners to my favourite Cielo X3s. However, these are quickly catching up as a go-to pair for my everyday runs and a bit of speed work. Super comfortable from the first wearing with enough bounce yet sturdy underfoot.

    Five stars for the Rocket X 3!

    Love these shoes! The white with blue and green accents is a beautiful combination, and the sleek, sporty design really stands out. Very happy with my Rocket X 3s!

    Worth Every Penny — A Major Upgrade

    I have plantar fasciitis, so finding a shoe that feels good on my feet is extremely important to me. I previously wore New Balance, but the HOKA Rocket X 3 has been a great upgrade. They have been extremely comfortable for me and have made a noticeable difference in how my feet feel when I’m walking...
