Hybrid cushioning systems balance softness and responsiveness effectively.

The Challenger 8 is an all-terrain style that's built on being versatile and a one-stop shop for your next athletic feat.

For the eighth iteration of the Challenger series, HOKA upgrades the seventh with a weightier and more cushioned ride offering comfort and a sturdy grip for the track or terrain. The engineered mesh uppers have been refined and streamlined, reducing the amount of overlays and creating a sleeker silhouette.

Under-foot, the compression molded EVA midsole features a bigger drop than the 7, at 7mm with up-to 44mm of stack height. This gives you HOKA's famous ride quality over even the rockiest terrain. The Durabrasion outsole features lugs with 4mm depth to give you traction when you need it most.
