HOKA KAWANA: GREAT CUSHION BALANCED SHOE.
HOKA KAWANA: GREAT CUSHION BALANCE SHOE. Our RUNNING SHOES section bring us today a deeper technical analysis of the new HOKA Kawana. As you might remenber we presented you the HOKA 2022 collection a couple of days ago, and with this article we continue the series where we have analyzed more in deep the new HOKA Speedgoat 5, the HOKA Tecton X and the HOKA Carbon X 3.
This HOKA Kawana will come with a price of 140€ (pending confirmation), 283 g and a drop of 5 mm for a height of 30 mm in the back and 25 in the front.
HOKA ONE ONE 2022
This new collection of HOKA One One for 2022 arrives with a new trail shoe, the Tecton X, which for the first time mounts two carbon plates, renews the Speedgoat 5, “slims” the Carbon X 3 and combines the catalogue of shoes with the Kawana and the Mach Supersonic.
Also, we see how the collection has focused on lightening materials and getting shoes just as cushioned and reactive but with a few grams less weight.
