July is the month of discounts, sales and deals, and-in some ways-it’s a great time to save a few euros when buying running shoes.
However, it is necessary to distinguish between different offers because the percentage discount can sometimes hide the imminent arrival of a new model; in other cases, however, it may be related to the “drop” (the release) of a new color or the simple need to make room in the warehouse before the arrival of new collections.
You can easily imagine, then, how products with varying prices can be found, and in many cases, it matters little whether they are newly introduced shoes or models a few months old. In most cases we are faced with very attractive offers, especially if you are more interested in the behavior of the shoe than the launch date or the latest coloration.
As for HOKA, we have selected in the Italian distributor’s online shop three models that are only a few months old and, in their field, are benchmarks for speed and fun:
Mach Supersonic
,
Tecton X
e
Speedgoat 5
. Not insignificant detail: almost all sizes are still present. For prices I will refer you back to the website because they can vary with time and available quantities.
Obviously these are our choices, and you can look for deals on the products that are most appropriate for you:
Mach Supersonic
Introduced last March, the HOKA Mach Supersonic is an evolved version of the already fast and fun Mach 4. In fact, it changes the midsole material to the new dual-density PROFLY+ compound to make daily workouts even faster and more fun.
For info, availability and price: HOKA Mach Supersonic (men) and HOKA Mach Supersonic (women).
Tecton X
If you want speed in trail running, the Tecton Xs are the choice for you. The two side-by-side carbon plates (hence the name, which is reminiscent of tectonic plates) move in parallel by assisting support in two dimensions-longitudinal and lateral-and always provide considerable additional thrust. This is complemented by a single-layer technical jacquard mesh upper, ProFlyX midsole and Vibram Megagrip Litebase outsole (with 4 mm lugs).
For info, availability and price: HOKA Tecton X ( men) and HOKA Tecton X (women).
Speedgoat 5
In such cases, the only thing to say is: Dulcis in fundo. The HOKA Speedgoat 5, dedicated to the great Karl Meltzer, is among the most popular trail shoes worldwide.
Ideal on any terrain thanks to the Vibram Megagrip sole with Traction Lug (and 5mm lugs), they are also perfect for tackling “ultras” due to their extreme comfort, protection and flexibility.
In short, when in doubt about what shoes to use off-road, Speedgoat 5s are always the right choice.
