What is the newest Hoka Rincon?

The Hoka Rincon 5, released in 2026. List price at launch was $125.

Which Hoka Rincon versions are hard to find now?

Rincon 1, Rincon 2, Rincon 3. They are discontinued at retail, so Amazon carries whatever stock remains and sizes disappear one by one.

Which Hoka Rincon should I buy?

New to the line: buy the Rincon 5. Loyal to the older ride: the previous version rides differently from the current one, and remaining old stock is the only way to get it. See the what-replaced page for that version before deciding.

The complete Hoka Rincon lineage

The Rincon began in 2019 as Hoka's light, inexpensive do-everything trainer: softer than the Mach, quicker and cheaper than the Clifton, and only 7.7 oz despite a full slab of cushion. Versions 1 through 3 stayed on the same 29/24 mm, 5 mm-drop formula while trying to fix its short-lived foam and exposed outsole. After the 3 launched in 2021, the line disappeared for three years. The Rincon 4 returned in 2024 wider, taller, and more daily-oriented; the Rincon 5 (July 2026, current) completes that migration with an 8 mm drop and a 9.7 oz build. This page tracks the complete numbered line from the original through the current 5.

Replacing a shoe you bought two versions ago?

Most runners skip a version or two rather than buying every update. These compare a version against the one two updates on, with the net change rather than a single step.

Thinking about leaving the Rincon?

We ranked the shoes that ride closest to it (an affordable, rockered daily trainer that now favors stable easy miles over the old line's featherweight versatility) and called out the honest differences.
