Appears to be a bit less mushy than Clifton with wide, stable base. 160$ price tag though seems steep

Definitely. I pre-ordered a pair through Road Runner Sports. If I don't like them I'll just exchange them. Gotta love that 90 day guarantee!!
Hoka is sending me a demo, I'll post updates once I get it.
This seems to be a heel striking hobby jogger shoe. I wonder how it would fare for midfoot/front strikers?
I have a pair. My main takeaway right now is that I need to run in them more, but in just 2 runs, I'm not super impressed. They're bouncier than the Rincon 2 (which I really liked) but they do feel long underfoot. I can't even imagine what they look like it a men's size 12+. The weight is perhaps not balanced quite as I'd like... but I'll try and report back more soon!
Interesting, I believe it’s meant to use a new type of foam. I wonder if they'll use it on more "normal" offerings.

don't think I heard that anywhere...it's just a rubberized EVA bottom layer, like many previous Hoka models (mach, clayton, huaka)
I hope it's not like the Elevon as a couple reviewers have mentioned. It at least is much lighter than the Elevon, that we know.
Could just be marketing nonsense, but on the Hoka site:
and our softest, lightest foam yet

Roadruntrail says:
The Midsole (gray) is a new light weight high resiliency foam.
The Outsole (orange and pink), which also acts as part of the midsole, is a thick layer of rubberized EVA foam with a moderate heel bevel making up a wide inherently stable platform.
