The Rundown

The plushest ride on the road.

We threw out the rulebook when creating the Skyward X. Pushing soft and smooth to the extreme, this cushy new trainer features a revolutionary suspension system with a convex carbon fibre plate that allows the suspension system to compress and spring back with each step. A soft, highly resilient PEBA foam sits closest to the foot for a lively, cushioned ride, while a super critical EVA frame provides a stable base for your easiest miles yet.

Upper: The upper of the HOKA Skyward feel really thick and sturdy. The lockdown system in the midfoot appears to be relatively unique.

Midsole: there is a lot going on in the midsole of this shoe. The yellow part that you see in the heel is a layer of supercritical PEBA that actually extends all the way to the forefoot. The blue layer is supercritical EVA that acts as a protective frame, enhancing stability. In between these two layers of foam, is an H-shape plate that helps activate the midsole and offer a snappy ride. It extends on the lateral side as shown on the above picture.
