HOKA Challenger ATR 7 GTX M

Rain or shine. Street to summit.

Built at the intersection of road and trail, the Challenger 7 GTX 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 GORE-TEX INVISIBLE FIT with recycled content product technology for enhanced protection in inclement weather. 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.

BEST FOR: Trail

FEATURES:

• Extended heel pull
• Engineered mesh
• GORE-TEX Invisible Fit with 70% recycled polyester face fabric
• Compression molded EVA foam midsole
• Durabrasion rubber outsole
• 4mm lugs
• Laces with 70% recycled nylon and 30% recycled polyester (excluding aglet)

WHAT'S NEW: Lighter than the last iteration, we’ve increased the stack height for added cushion and fine-tuned our lug pattern for enhanced traction.

Tech details: 

• Weight: 275.00 g
  
• Heel-To-Toe Drop: 5.00 mm
  
• Stability: Neutral
  • Explanation: Some shoes have extra built-in support designed for overpronators; others are minimally prescriptive, designed to provide cushion then stay out of your way 
    • The Challenger 7 GORE-TEX features a symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive technologies. Designed to provide the support you want and nothing you don't.
• Cushion: Plush
  • Explanation: All of Hoka's shoes contain cushion in the midsole, which is designed to lessen impact and provide support. How much cushion, and how firm or soft that cushion is, varies between models. 
    • The Challenger 7 GORE-TEX features a higher bed of soft cushion, designed to provide a forgiving impact and ride.
