Carbon X3 - First Run (and Carbon X2, Mach 4, and Zoom Fly Flyknit comparisons)

While looking very similar to the X2, the Hoka Carbon X3 gets a significant update to the upper and midsole foam. The use of knit materials and the upgrade to ProFlyX make this the best Carbon X iterations yet. But is it still "just" a training companion? And would that be a bad thing? 0:00 intro 0:25 run testing 1:24 disclosures 1:44 specs 5:52 comparing to the Carbon X2 7:58 easy paces in the Carbon X3 9:24 moderate paces in the Carbon X3 10:13 threshold paces in the Carbon X3 11:19 Carbon X3 is a training companion 11:56 reminds me of Zoom Fly Flyknit Thanks for watching!
