HOKA®, a leading brand in maximalist running shoes, announces the arrival of the Skyward X. This innovative shoe boasts advanced carbon technology and superior cushioning, aiming to elevate every runner’s experience.
Unparalleled Comfort for Daily Runs
The Skyward X pushes the boundaries of smooth and soft running. Designed for easy miles, it combines HOKA’s core principles with a revolutionary carbon fiber plate system. This unique blend delivers a dynamic ride that’s incredibly cushioned, responsive, and stable, making every run feel effortless.
Cushioning Redefined
HOKA prioritized superior cushioning in the Skyward X. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Plush Foam Combination: A combination of soft and resilient PEBA foam sits closest to the foot for a cushioned and responsive ride.
- Supportive Cradle: The Active Foot Frame™ cradles the foot comfortably.
- Stable Platform: A slightly firmer super-critical EVA foam sits below, featuring the signature MetaRocker™ technology for enhanced stability and a smooth toe-off.
Carbon Magic for Effortless Movement
The true innovation lies in the Skyward X’s revolutionary carbon suspension system. A unique convex carbon fiber plate, curved upwards in the middle, mimics the foot’s arch during each stride. This translates to a feeling of weightless suspension and effortless movement.
Lightweight Fit and Supportive Structure
The Skyward X features a new, flat-knit upper with zonal engineering for a comfortable fit. An external TPU heel counter provides extra structure and dimension, while an integrated ghillie system ensures a secure midfoot lockdown.
Available Now
The Skyward X is available for purchase at all HOKA stores in Kuala Lumpur (Suria KLCC, IOI City Mall, The Exchange, TRX) for RM1,099.
