The launch of these renewed Hoka One One Challenger ATR 5 will arrive in the premiere of the new year 2019, and comparing it with previous editions, Hoke One One One designers seem to have the intention of recovering more the sensations of the ATR 3 than the ATR 4, because they allow smoother transitions without offering as much firmness as in the ATR 4.

In addition to being a lighter model, another of the most striking details of these Challenger ATR 5 is ahigh level of cushioning, and that comes from the hand of its redesigned midsole, made with CMEVA foam, and that carry reference models of the American brand as the Conquest, Clifton or even the Speedgoat. This material's mission is to offer a good cushioning for running with greater dynamism and comfort in each stride.
