Hoka Skyward X

Imagining a shoe where all the latest technology came together, not for speed, but for the greatest ride possible, Hoka designed the Skyward X in Clear Sea/Alpine Blue to push soft and smooth to the extreme, for long distance runs with a comfortable, fun sensation.

The Hoka Skyward X uses a carbon fibre plate with a suspension system that bows in the middle for maximised efficiency and a bouncy sensation focused more on helping you go the distance than pure speed.

It’s sandwiched by a huge stack of foam made from pinnacle technology Peba based foam above the plate for lightweight responsive cushioning, and a super critical EVA foam below which is shaped into a meta rocker for a consistently smooth, easy stride.

A deep active foot frame means that your foot sits within the shoe rather than on top of it, cradling your heel for a secure ride, helped by the sock-like fit of the flat knit upper. Zonal engineering gives extra breathable sections and a locked in fit.
