World class athletes deserve world class running spikes. The Rocket series was designed to embody HOKA ONE ONE's renowned performance and comfort, and enable our athletes to perform at their very best. Based on the fact that half of a track athlete's race is spent making left turns, we created a middle-distance shoe where the spikes are placed asymmetrically on an aggressive carbon fiber propulsion plate, with a stiff forefoot for direct response. The Rocket MD is designed for races 400m to the mile.
