Hoka's Challenger 7 are versatile running shoes, ideal for tackling both city streets and dirt paths. This seventh edition has been completely redesigned, featuring a simplified mesh upper for optimal breathability and a new layer of softer foam for superior comfort. The increased height of the sole provides a more cushioned feel, while the addition of a proprietary rubber at the bottom ensures an optimal ride on all terrains. ​

Inspired by gravel tires, the Challenger 7's outsole features smaller, closer-spaced lugs in the center and larger, more aggressive lugs on the perimeter, improving traction on uneven terrain. The shoe features an extended heel tab for an easy fit and laces made from 70% recycled nylon and 30% recycled polyester, underlining Hoka's commitment to sustainability. ​

The compressed EVA foam midsole offers a soft feel underfoot, while the Durabrasion rubber outsole ensures durability and grip on various terrains. The 4mm lugs guarantee optimal traction, making the Challenger 7 perfect for those looking for a high-performance and comfortable shoe for both asphalt and trails.
