"OTHER BRAND" - RUNNING shoe thread - asics, saucony, new balance, hoka one one, adidas, reebok, brooks, altra, skechers, etc...

Looks just like the 7 but with de minimis changes to the upper.

there's apparently going to be a midsole change, i assume instead of the typical EVA that's been there since the 6, it'll be profly instead
 
What would make it any different than the Mach 4 at that point?

i mean to your point, it brings into the question of what would be the purpose of hoka having the mach 4, rincon and clifton?

i always felt like the mach 4 was going to create a lot of confusion with their lineup, but i would assume the clifton 8 may just be using a softer version of profly and keep it as the softer cushioned daily trainer

If the Clifton is all profly (it looks like a single density midsole) it will likely be softer and less responsive than the dual density Mach 4. The Rincon series is still using the older EVA, right?

your spot on with what i had in mind for what the clifton will eventually/is going to be.

as for rincon, i think its the older EVA as of now, no news yet on the rincon 3 but i still am unsure of where it would fit with the mach 4 now

If I could get it at $57 + tax, I’ll return and repurchase my second one lol

Nah. Just making light of the PED and unfair advantage crowd. I’d like to see more data or records. Especially for longer races. Dope shoe especially if it were given the Bruce Lee treatment.

Ended up going a completely different direction on my trail “running” choice after debating getting the speedgoats. My size popped back up for the Adidas Speed ultra on Zappos , and I went with those. Excited to try them out.

Clifton 8 reviews and comparisons are starting to come out (the shoe drops June 1st):




Stoked to see the new midsole foam, and it sounds like it'll still have a place in the Hoka lineup with the Mach 4 being more uptempo while the Clifton is better for easy cruises.
