— April 8, 2022 — Fashion
The HOKA ONE ONE Speedgoat 5 performance shoe is one of the brand's latest offerings that's ready for off-road training thanks to a fully reimagined design. The sneaker is constructed with a double-layer jacquard mesh upper made from recycled contents and comes in at 10.30-ounces, which is half an ounce lighter than the previous model. The 4mm heel-to-toe drop is optimized for a bit of an incline during wear without being too overbearing, while the EVA sock liner is molded for optimal comfort.

The HOKA ONE ONE Speedgoat 5 performance shoe is finished with a Vibram Megagrip outsole that has 5mm Traction Lugs to maximize agility on uneven terrain. Priced at $155, the sneakers are available now directly from the brand.
