Street-approved. Trail tested. Built at the intersection of road and trail, the new Challenger 7 has been completely reimagined from the ground up. Combining a simplified mesh upper with a soft new foam, we've increased the stack height for a plusher feel and added proprietary rubber to the bottom unit, along with a reimagined outsole design for the best all-terrain ride yet. Inspired by gravel tires, we've cued up smaller, tightly spaced lugs in center and larger, more aggressive lugs at the perimeter designed for improved traction on uneven terrain. With the seemingly impossible combination of increased stack height, and lower weight, the updated Hoka Challenger 7 in Druzzy Droplet is a road focused, all terrain running shoe that lets you take the trail, and the pavement, equally in your stride. The Hoka Challenger 7 has improved cushioning thanks to a larger layer of CMEVA under foot, which not only provides nonstop comfort, but helps to move you through your transition for a smooth stride. The engineered mesh upper is reimagined with recycled content, for improved breathability as well as a comfortable, locked in fit. An improved lug pattern in the outsole gives you a smoother ride across paved surfaces, without sacrificing traction across the trail. DURABRASION rubber extends longevity while ensuring multi surface grip.
