Show source notes

Release note: APWORLD's exact authorized-retailer listing identifies Challenger 8 GTX as a Spring/Summer 2026 model. Exact day or month was not confirmed, so release timing is kept at year level.
Source note: HOKA US exact men's product page confirms $165 US MSRP, an 8mm drop, EVA midsole, GORE-TEX Invisible Fit, multidirectional 4mm lugs, and Regular/Wide widths. An official GORE-TEX Japan release confirms JPY 24,200, while APWORLD's exact authorized listing supports 2026 Spring/Summer timing. Weight, stack height, and plate status remain unresolved.
Weight note: Weight remains unresolved because it was not visible in an adoptable normal-browser public source. The machine-only women's 255g value is not adopted.
Plate note: HOKA US complete specifications list an EVA midsole and multidirectional 4 mm lugs with no carbon structure. REI's exact technical table also lists Rock Plate as No.
