Skyward X

The HOKA Skyward X is a next-generation super-trainer, combining advanced foams and carbon-driven engineering to deliver a ride that’s both luxuriously cushioned and impressively efficient. A generous layer of PEBA superfoamunderfoot offers a lively, buoyant feel across a variety of paces and distances, while the supportive supercritical EVA frame creates a stable platform that helps keep your stride aligned. Embedded between these layers, the curved carbon fiber plate acts like an active suspension, compressing and releasing with each step to generate seamless propulsion and smooth transitions through the gait cycle.

The high-abrasion rubber outsole ensures long-term durability and dependable grip, making the Skyward X ready for consistent daily training. On top, the flat-knit upper made from recycled polyester offers breathable coverage with a sustainable footprint, while the molded heel counter and ghilly lacing system provide secure midfoot lockdown for balanced comfort and performance. Crafted for runners who demand both softness and speed, the Skyward X brings premium energy return to every run, from relaxed cruising to quicker efforts.
