Looking for a cushioned shoe that’s perfect for running on roads regularly but also ready for local trails? The HOKA Challenger ATR 8 has got you covered.

Known for its soft cushioning and smooth meta-rocker ride, the new Challenger ATR 8 has more cushion underfoot, more space in forefoot to midfoot fit, and improved traction – it's the comfiest and most supportive version to date. It has a firmer and more aggressive rocker that will help you keep moving forward with each step. 

If you enjoy the HOKA cushioning and smooth rocker like Clifton or Bondi, you will appreciate the similar sensation in the Challenger ATR, but with the added versatility to go off-road trail running and local hikes. 

What to love:

• 10mm more of cushion underfoot than previous version
• Softer and smoother rocker, more comfort and impact protection ideal for longer runs 
• Wider and more room in the forefoot and midfoot area 

 

UPPER

• Engineered mesh made from 100% recycled plastic (rPET) is highly breathable

MIDSOLES

• Symmetrical bed of cushion to provide stable landing and smooth rocker
• Increased stack of soft cushion underfoot
