The Men's HOKA Tecton X 2 has undergone a reengineering process focused on optimizing weight savings. This version features a Matryx upper, meticulously designed by Hoka to be light, breathable, and inherently hydrophobic. The high-contrast Matryx upper is equipped with a lay-flat gusseted tongue, strategically incorporated to reduce the impact of trail debris. As a trail runner with a focus on inspiring confidence across diverse terrains, the Tecton X 2 is powered by parallel carbon fiber plates, the same technology that contributed to the swift popularity of its predecessor among trail running enthusiasts.
