The HOKA Skyward X Men’s Running Shoes!
The HOKA Skyward X delivers one of the softest, smoothest rides you’ll find on the road. Built for runners chasing cushioned comfort over long distances, it combines innovative design with HOKA’s trademark geometry to help you move efficiently, even when the kilometres add up.
At the heart of the shoe is a revolutionary suspension system featuring a convex carbon plate. This works with the midsole foams to compress and rebound with each stride, giving you a lively feel underfoot while keeping transitions smooth.
