I'm so glad I still have 2 pairs of the original Tecton in storage, that $275 price point is insane. I still haven't tried the 2s because $225 was already steep enough, but GODDAMN.
275$ for the Tecton is insane. Right now I'm able to buy a discounted og Tecton for ~120$.

hoka is way overpriced, 20 $ cost base, we produced shoes in the same vietnamese factory, look to Deckers stock price, insane high profitlargins.

Remember when almost everyone lashed on Speedland shoes? Now their shoes price reasonably 😅
Speedgoats would be way more interesting if Hoka made proper wide sizes instead of just adding another centimeter or two of upper material for their wide version.
Great! Tectonic X3 👏🏼👏🏼 At last I should be able to get some discount on the X2 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Really don’t like the gaiter. 😖 SG6 for me. 👌🏼
Tecton x 3 is way over-priced (will probs drop in UK at about £240 - £260), not a fan of the gaiter, but outsole looks better. Again, carbon plate in a trail shoe (I feel) is pointless, unless you're running buffed-out trails constantly. Torrent 4 looks very nice, always been a fan of one of their best shoes since version one. Cheers for the vid guys :)
The Speedgoat GTX looks awesome. My next winter running shoes 🤔
Premium shoe premium price. Won’t stop me from using them. I use the gtx for work and the speedgoat 5 for running. Can’t wait for the 6 and the new gtx!
I'm all over the Torrent 4! tecton gotta be the one with that crazy foam that mr.Rubio was talkin about in the runningwarehouse podcast. 275 is mad.
Good morning. I prefer the hoka torrent 4. Like to Bekah and Believe In the run. Cheers.
SG6 looks amazing, hopefully has better forefoot containment than the 5. First time being excited about the torrent too.
The Hoka woman is so cool. Talk with her every year.

Bekah always knocks it out of the park
That puts the TX3 at $320+ in CDN. Love what they are saying, but my X2 $260cdn starting coming apart internally with only a couple hundred KMs. Hard sell to pay $300+ and get the same durability. My Norda 001(not a super shoe) have almost 1200km on them and no durability issues.
Speed goat looks great and price point
Love Robbies watch ⌚️ ❤ ! I want one but it's sold out everywhere 😭
Is it a bad sign that hoka admits a $275(!) price tag but won’t own up to how much the show weighs?
Those coveralls are looking 🔥 love me a speed goat.
Pumped for the new Torrent

More stack, probably an ounce heavier :(
That new torrent looks awesome!!! When the 1 came out I had that shoe in my rotation for 2-2.5 years. I bought about 10 pairs. This version looks like it’s got that magic to it.

Interesting. I had the 2 but never really loved it. Much prefer the speedgoat it somehow felt nimbler and more stable to me.
in love for this collection.... but the prices!
275 for a trailshoe and a price increase of 22%... I think it's already April 1st.
Huge Zante vibes here! I hope it light weight like under 8oz would be sick
1st and 2nd versions of Torrent lasted a few years, the 3rd is being replaced pretty quickly.
Prefer EVA if available. Most bounce. Hello from Indonesia
Speedgoat looks prettttyyy
For me, at least, I will burn through Torrents and speed, goats for training, and every day mountain running. Tecton would be reserved for racing and or those special long days in the mountains.
The only update the speedgoat needed from the 5 was a redesign of the silly tongue. Too short and too light resulting in hotspots and a bit of general discomfort. All in all though the 5 has been a great shoe.

Made me look elsewhere for road shoes, same, regrettable for shoes that work so well otherwise, and just annoying on the daily.

Hoping the new Speedgoats don't flatten out so easy. My 4 and 5s went within 300km, especially for rocky runs

Mine too. The midsole started to die after around 200km and also the shoe looks like it has gone trough WW2 on the outside. I've had similar issues with other Hoka shoes - very comfortable, but the durability is suspicious especially for trail shoes.

That tecton x update looks absolutely horrific...
It is so disappointing that the Speedgoats keep getting changed. I wish they had stopped with version 4 as I now find them very uncomfortable due to the changes they keep making to the cushioning. I would take the heavier version of this shoe any day!
Great updates, but I don't understand the late summer/fall relases for their trail shoes.
Jim ran in the Tecton X4 because the X3 was a bit wack
I really don't like the knit mesh upper on the SG 5. Holds dirt, mud and water way too much. It's time for that trend to be over.
Hoka Mafate Speed 5?
Is the speed goat 6 still heavier ..cough cough inferior..to the evo?

Sadly nothing will ever come close to the real 🐐..
Oh so one dude just designed the Torrent on his own? 😅
Wow really? I would pay 300$ for a version without gaiters. That is very inconvenient to have 😢
Hoka is unobtanium currently in Japan with the weak yen. It’s unbelievable how expensive running shoes have become

No kidding. Very much warmer weather shoe releasing at the end of summer. Mind blowing. It seems that they want to make sure that they unload all the 3 before 4 comes to the stores since it looks like it is going to be very different show due to increase of stack height.
Idk if people will actually buy the tecton 3 with that price point. $275 is ridiculous
why adidas videos removed?

Yummy! But $275 ???
No shoe will save your ass if you aren’t putting in the work…. Buy whatever for 100 bucks and under and get your 20plus hours a week. I’ve been having amazing trail runs in NB1080… get the old versions and crap colors.

Agree. I picked up the Hierro v7’s a while back on sale in the hideous purple and yellow colorway and they have been a pleasant surprise. They run a little short but otherwise a very solid shoe with a Vibram outsole.
Inflation is real
So they all are dull stability shoes that will twist your ankles on uneven terrain 😢
Lessons, not learnings.
275 🤣😂🤣
Hoka has lost the plot.
