The Hoka Tecton X 3 is almost here and with these upgrades it looks built for speed and distance on the toughest trails

Hoka Tecton X 3.

When Jim Walmsley obliterated the previous record on the UTMB course last summer, the question on everyone's lips was: what shoes was he wearing?

At the time, all we knew was that he was wearing Hoka prototypes, which later turned out to be two different semi-custom variations of the Hoka Tecton X 2. This August, it looks like we'll finally get to see the results of testing by pros like Walmsley (as well as Katharina Hartmuth, Fu-Zhao Xiang, Ludovic Pommeret and Thibaut Garrivier who tested prototypes at the same race) with the much-anticipated launch of the Hoka Tecton X 3.
