The complete Hoka Mach lineage

The Mach is Hoka's lightweight trainer, the shoe in the range that can actually pick up the pace. The Mach 4 (2021) was the redesign that put the line on the map, and its loyalists are repeat buyers who go through pairs a year. The line's sore spot was never the ride: through the Mach 5, the outsole was bare rubberized foam, and wearing through it early was the standard complaint. The Mach 6 (2024) fixed that with a real rubber outsole and swapped in a supercritical foam, and it became the best-reviewed shoe the line has had. The Mach 7 (2026) is the current version, a conservative cleanup of the 6. A whole family of offshoots sits outside the numbered succession: the plated Mach X supertrainers (X, X 2, X 3) and the limited-run Mach Supersonic that previewed the 5's foam.

Questions runners ask

What is the newest Hoka Mach?
The Hoka Mach 7, released in 2026. List price at launch was $145.
Which Hoka Mach versions are hard to find now?
Mach 4, Mach 5. They are discontinued at retail, so Amazon carries whatever stock remains and sizes disappear one by one.
Which Hoka Mach should I buy?
New to the line: buy the Mach 7. If you loved the way this line rode before the Mach 6 changed its character in 2024, the Mach 5 was the last version of the old ride, and remaining stock is the only way to get it.
