The HOKA trail Greatest Of All Time returns with updated outsole traction and a responsive ride to tackle technical terrain
HOKA®, a division of Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK), is proud to debut the latest iteration of the award-winning Speedgoat franchise; the Speedgoat 6. The newly designed Speedgoat was built with an optimal balance of cushioning and traction, making it an ideal solution for training or racing.
Many Trails. One Goat.
The Speedgoat 6 introduces ultralight CMEVA cushioning to the midsole, combined with aggressive traction for the lightest and most responsive Speedgoat to date. These thoughtful updates ensure an agile and grippy ride, engineered for conquering challenging terrain with confidence. The reinvigorated design of the Speedgoat nods to HOKA’s origins, and the brand's ongoing dedication to pushing boundaries on the trail.
A workhorse for technical terrain, the Speedgoat 6’s Vibram® Megagrip outsole, equipped with Traction Lug, delivers aggressive traction across both wet and dry surfaces. Drawing inspiration from the resilience of a goat's hoof, the 5mm lugs feature a revised orientation, increasing grip and adaptability. This high performing technology from Vibram® offers unparalleled confidence, empowering runners to tackle trails with ease.
The Speedgoat 6 features a new lightweight woven upper designed to enhance breathability while remaining durable. A HOKA patent pending dynamic vamp and internal support chassis offer an accommodating fit to keep your foot stable and secure at a variety of paces. The plush, dual-gusseted tongue and reinforced toe bumper allow for enhanced support and protection ensuring a comfortable ride mile after mile. Weighing in at 8.2 oz for a women’s size 8 and 9.8 oz for a men’s size 10, with a 40mm stack height and 5mm drop, the Speedgoat 6 was made to elevate your trail running adventures.
HOKA was born on the trails and remains deeply rooted in the authentic essence of trail running. The Speedgoat 6 was meticulously crafted to excel in these rugged environments, offering a seamlessly smooth ride that can conquer a myriad of elements. We are excited for trail enthusiasts to experience the GOAT, whether they are taking on their next trail race, embarking on a thru-hike, exploring more technical terrains or stepping onto the trail for the first time.
Born to Tame the Trail
HOKA will launch a new campaign, ‘MANY TRAILS. ONE GOAT.,' highlighting the unstoppable OG trail icon. This campaign will debut with a short film that showcases two trail runners conquering a range of terrains – dirt, gravel, rocks, and wet surfaces, thanks to the incredibly grippy soles of the Speedgoat 6. The ‘MANY TRAILS. ONE GOAT.’ campaign underscores HOKA’s position as the leader in trail shoe innovation, and its ongoing dedication to pushing the boundaries of sport.
Beginning on July 15, HOKA is encouraging all movers to get out and experience the trails through local and nationwide Strava challenges. Those hoping to complete the nationwide challenge will need to complete 11,000 feet of vertical gain through recorded Strava activities, within 30 days. All registered participants of this challenge will be entered for a chance to win a pair of Speedgoat 6 shoes, with additional prizes for those who complete the challenge. The four local segment challenges will take place in Snowbird, UT, Goat Hill in Charlotte, NC, Mount Tamalpais in San Francisco, CA, and Green Mountain in Boulder, CO. The winners of the local segments will be crowned for completing the most repetitions in 30 days, with men’s and women’s local legends for each segment being awarded an entry into a US UTMB event of their choice.
The Speedgoat 6 franchise will expand later this Fall with two GORE-TEX® models. These low and mid iterations will feature GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology for waterproofness and breathability with a lighter, more flexible construction.
The Speedgoat 6 (MSRP $155) is available for purchase today at HOKA®HOKA.com and at authorized HOKA dealers worldwide.
