Bekah is on point with the answers and deliver a fun interview. Thomas is such a smooth operator.
As in MJs song...🙄?
I’m sure they practiced and pre planned/ scripted the questions and answers to a degree
I’m sure the other reps knew their stuff…but Bekah delivered info in a more natural and concise way…with more personality…great interview 👍👍
@@alanramos4431 she is a natural ❤️ a new Rebecca de mornay in the making maybe...🙄
@@cortneywebb1677 we'll take that as a compliment, since this was the first time either of us talked about any of these shoes with each other. We had no idea any of these were coming until we arrived at the booth two minutes before this video.
Cant wait for the Mach 6 full review, loved my Mach 5. Also excited that Hoka held the price on it.
I need those Mach 6!🤩
The Mach looks nice. Definitely digging the new outsole
mach 6 looks insane! added rubber and then the midsole looks incredible, excited for it
Loved it! Still my fav brand, can't wait to try newer models next year.
Will buy my third Mach 5 soon, wonderful shoe. Looking forward to the Mach 6 review in March.
Buying the Mach6 as soon as it's available. Although i'm a bit worried that they've changed the midsole completely. Mach 5 was perfect for me, just need a few blobs of rubber on the outsole.
Love the rincon 3. i use it almost everywhere. Old ones where cushioning has gone a bit work great on trail unless too technical or in when wet.
Need more Bekah on BITR
Thanks Thomas. I prefer the hoka rincon 4. Like from Spain. Cheers.
It’s all about the Mach 6!!! I hope it’s lighter with that rubber outsole…faster with more longevity woo!
Bekah best ambassador for Running shoe company ever
so excited we are getting another rincon finally. just wish it looked as good as the other shoes :/
Stoked. Love the 3. Packs down fast, though.
Is clear the new mach is more speedy, but How you difference btw rincon and clifton?
Hoka always has the best colors
Any idea what that black and orange shoe was behind you?
Is it me or has hoka switched the positioning of the rincon and mach. The rincon was a one piece eva foam, lighter / racing version of the clifton, basicly the napli/clifton 3 but better, as they changed the clifton to fill the void between the bondi and the Rincon. The clayton/ mach series was a profly with R-mat rubberized EVA outsole that was an up tempo daily trainer. I'm excited to try both.
This was my exact thought.
Can't wait to buy the Arahi 6 on sale! Not feeling the new Arahi 7 upper.
I really hope hoka mach X2 comes in wide width and Rincon 4 as well 🤞🏾
No wide version for the Mach X 2??
Make wide version wide. Loved the Arahi 5 wide. 6 was too narrow. Wished they made it more similar to Tempus. «We value stability shoes» while doing only a upper change.
rincon for me please! also, mach 6. bring it!
That black/greenish/orange Mach X 2 in the back looks sexy as hell!!!
Anything on their racing lineup for 2024?
I got the Mach 5 on $97 in April. I like it, but it's the most narrow running shoe I have.
Damn, I gotta wait a year for the Rincons! 😢😢😢
Double clutch lanyard?
The profly+ is what gave the Mach 5 its kick. I wondwr how this translates having a full supercritical EVA stack in the 6!
Mach x 2 😍😍😍
no bondi 9?
The perfect shoe is the Mach 4 upper with the Mach 5 ride and some rubber on the outsole. You do that and I'll buy it every time.
I already have the mach x, and im loving it and been using it to the gym. But i want is a hoka that i can use on a daily basis, with more comfort and more cushion, what can you recommend?
Rincon maybe
Clifton
I have a Mach 5 hoping that they have a robust outsole in this one.
I still don't know what to make of Hoka shoes. I'm biased towards Saucony, Brooks or ASICS. Hoka is definitely making its mark but not yet sure if I want to pick up a Hoka shoe!!
No Bondi?
Mach 6 looks good
excited for Rincon 4 It's about time 👋 ...And stays at $125, cool
So the Rincon 4 won't use rubber on the outsole?
@@herlambang9222It never has, always an exposed EVA outsole
What's with the FONZIE look?
I loved the Mach 4 and then the 5 was an iterative improvement though I wasnt fan of the super thin tongue. I look forward to the 6 but it does look quite different and the stack heights keep growing :/
Mach x2 release date ?
Really dissapointed that the Arahi hasn't seen a proper update. The Saucony Tempus is so much better than any of the Arahi I used to use (I had multiple pairs of the 4, 5 and 6), there's absolutely no chance I'll be returning to the heavy, dead feeling midsole of the Arahi 7.
the one thing still going for Arahi is it's more accommodating for wide feet than Tempus is
@@markusbirdthe Tempus is so underrated, I use it for everything from recovery to trails. If they could put a little more squish in it, it would be perfect.
@@bigredactionsportsstuff1245 I agree, but I also need a wider toe box :(
@@bigredactionsportsstuff1245 Agreed, I love them! I'm on my second pair, the first went 750 miles before I retired them. They're a great all rounder, I spend most of my time zone 2 running, but when I want to pick up the pace they're really responsive, and when I took my old pair out on dry trails I was amazed at how well they perofrmed.
Before that I had multiple pairs of three generations of the Arahi (4, 5 and 6) but found the EVA in the 5 and 6 nowhere near as good as the 4 (which I think I'm in the minority of) but once I tried the Tempus there was no going back to the Arahi.
Same. I honestly think it’s the same mid sole since the Arahi 4? Hopefully one day they will invent more into the Arahi. I switched to NB since Arahi 5.
Mach with a real outsole and it stayed at the same price? Say no more 👏
Boks please add a bit more Bekah in your 2025 lineup for that extra pop
give me a mach X 2 with TREAD for the trails...What would that be??
The best thing on that stand is Rebekah positive personality!🤗 New shoes are looking outdated, I expected more after very good Rocket X2 model. Ditch EVA and Pebax foam combo and just go with Pebax, with or without plate. EVA is not good for running anymore, just for walking!
Where's Cielo x1?
Under wraps until launch
So Hoka basically telling Stability shoe runners, yeah we are just gonna put the same product date back to Arahi 3? I’m kinda glad I switched to NB after Arahi 5. Hopefully one day Hoka will invent something better. 😢
I don't know if Google will understand the translation, but...
Mach x2 looks like a breath of fresh air from Hoka, but otherwise it feels like the brand is far behind NB or Saucony. The Hoka set new rules of the game in their time, but now others are changing the rules. I haven’t bought Hoka for myself for at least 2 years because they are boring
Looks like the x2 has that than collar that rubs the ankle like the NB supercomp. No go if theres any irritation.
Whats the price on the Arahi 7. Flat feet people don't get as much love ha!
Rincon 4: PLEASE let them have worked out how to make it last longer!
Mines lasted like 800 km. How much yours? Just curious
@@javi12153 I had a pair of 3 a while ago and but l got 300k from them before they started compressing and hurting my knees.
So no significant difference on the Arahi. Nice the 6 is now on sale.
Stopped using Hoka after Clifton 8 and they all felt the same as Rincon and Mach. No excitement and felt flat on all my runs.
Does Thomas have chewing gum? No chewing gum please!
Thanks for the info, good video all around
Good thing stability custs didn't get "the shaft" with the arahi 7 ! 2 years since the 6, and the update has absolutely No changes to the midsole. Wtf Hoka.
What should HOKA put in the midsole ?
Agreed. Looks like I'll be sticking with the Tempus again this year.
@@Mojavehixon Well Saucony managed to make an absolute banger of a stability shoe with the Tempus, which is significantly lighter and more responsive with a mix of EVA and PB in the midsole. I was hoping that Hoka would show some love to the Arahi but it is still the same, dead, heavy, nonsense they've had for the last 5 years.
@@rayamos1398 always good to add context and ideas instead of just complaining. 🤙
@@Mojavehixon Well it's easy to come across as just being negative I guess, but as someone who ran in and loved the Arahi at one point I'd just hoped Hoka would see what the competition have done and improve upon it.
Is Thomas wearing a jump suit?!? 😂🤷♂️
With so many companies (Saucony and New Balance as key examples) going to PEBA in more daily trainers, I think the Mach will be left behind. Supercritical EVA doesn't feel like enough.
Not really. I for one prefers supercritical to peba......
@@ifonly4486 There are surely many people in the same boat. That said, I don't think it's the majority.
"we add the stack height of the midsole, and make it softer" is a bit generic nowadays...
Not sure the Mach 6 will match the 5 hype with these changes.. I’m optimistic but scared they have ruined my dear Mach 5 😢
You can get certain colorways at nice discounts
From a purely aesthetic pov, this lineup doesn't give the same hype as the preview last year.
Hoka is using supercritical EVA while Atreyu is now using supercritical TPE for a fraction of the cost 😂
Is Bekah flirting with her eyes with Thomas?
Mach 5 is too squeaky! I hope they fixed that in Mach 6
The rincon 2 will never be beat. These 4s look worse then the 3s and that’s saying a lot.
a little bit of flack in the past over foam choices..,
oh that is rich
Seems that my boycott of Hoka is working (I'm kidding of course haha)... They need to keep improving the foams and outsoles and resilience.
Mach6 look same as Mach X
Rincon is just a lamer version of the mach 5 now, interesting direction they’ve taken that shoe.
Such a cute girl 😍 Rebecca the Row? Almost as cute as meggie. I def need more spice in my life...
Three out of four shoes are predominantly EVA based? Hoka is still stuck in 2017. EVA foam is so much worse than every other foam on the market right now. Terrible durability, low energy return, I don’t know why they keep using it. I hoped Hoka would finally switch most of its lineup to fancy foams this year, but it looks like I’ll have to wait another year. They were very good shoes in 2019, but ever since they have lagged so far behind every other major shoe company. I want to try them again, but I refuse to run in anything that is EVA based because they are simply not as good as TPE or peba. Disappointed.
Still just an EVA, but let's call it super critical? Please.....you had me years ago when everyone went barefoot and you went max cushion. You lost me a couple of years ago when you were still EVA and New Balance brought out fuel cell.
Lol I didn’t want to comment this and sound like a hater but I completely agree. “We heard everyone criticizing EVA so we just stuck with it”????
being an EVA doesn't mean a bad things depend on individual preference, my Mach 5 still feels fresh after 700KM whereas the NB fuelcell is so dead and unstable when close to only a mere 500KM mileage, not every runner wants PEBA or TPUU midsole which can only last mediocre mileage
@@chinpoeykhoo6261 you didn't mention the model of shoe that you claim is dead so I'm a little suspicious of your claim. I have 2 of the V1 SC Trainers and they are around 600km each with probably another 400km each to go, because they only come out on a Sunday for a long slow run and I will say right now that New Balance have run rings around Hoka in the max cushion department.
@@chinpoeykhoo6261mach 5 died on me, unwearable at 200km. Loved the first 150km. The peba foams at least they fall back into eva territory after a lot of wear. They hold more energy return in colder temperatures as well.
Fuel cell is eva as well. Superrcritical is 'just' infusing c02 for some more bounce. Even a tpu unfused peba offers more
I don't get the hype. Shoes will age very fast.
Hoka’s foams are terrible 😞
looks pretty boring
