Hoka Skyward X 2

HOKA have taken the responsive, cushioned, and most of all fun Skyward, and fine tuned the design for a more secure ride in the Skyward X 2 in Grout/Cobalt. Designed to maintain the same lively underfoot feel, they are calling it the plushest ride on the road.

It features the same basic build as the original, with a super critical foam base, carbon plate and race ready PEBA foam on the top, but the HOKA Skyward X 2 has an updated, convex carbon plate designed to put you in a more engaged stance. It also has a lower stack height than the previous version, although it still sits at a more than generous 46 – 41mm.

Lighter than the previous version, it features an enhanced upper made from a premium jacquard mesh, it maintains the feel of the shoe as an ultra-premium trainer perfect for long runs in comfort, recovery runs and faster times. A zonal padded tongue with lace loop helps relieve lace pressure on the upper foot.

Sticky rubber in the forefoot is joined by long lasting Durabrasion rubber in the heel for traction with a smooth feel through the transfer.
