Why the HOKA Rocket X 3 Is the Ultimate Race-Day Weapon for Speed-Obsessed Runners
Runners chasing new personal bests have a new tool in their arsenal — the HOKA Rocket X 3, the next-generation carbon-plated super shoe designed to deliver pure performance on race day.
Officially launched on July 4, 2025, the Rocket X 3 is now available in Singapore at HOKA.com, HOKA ION Orchard, and Takashimaya Shopping Centre (Level 4, Sports Department), priced at $379.00 SGD. Engineered for Serious Speed
Whether you're chasing podiums or PRs, the HOKA Rocket X 3 is built to go fast — and stay fast. Designed for runners who leave it all on the road, this high-performance racing shoe introduces major upgrades across the board, without compromising the signature comfort and stability HOKA fans love.
Key features include:
Dual-Density PEBA Foam Midsole: Offers high rebound with remarkable energy return for that spring-loaded feel in every stride.
Redesigned Carbon Fiber Plate: With a lateral winglet for added propulsion and midfoot stability — especially noticeable at top speeds.
Active Foot Frame™ Technology: Cradles the foot deeper in the midsole for a locked-in, secure ride.
Warp-Knit Jacquard Upper: Breathable, weight-saving, and engineered for elite performance.
Grippy Rubber Outsole: For confident traction in all race-day conditions.
Lightweight Yet Powerful
Weighing just 226g (Men’s US 10) and 185g (Women’s US 8), the Rocket X 3 is impressively light for a shoe that packs this much structure and propulsion. It features a 7mm heel-to-toe drop, offering a geometry that supports smooth transitions at high cadence.
