The Skyward X 2 by Hoka is a running shoe developed for daily training on firm surfaces.

The shoe is designed as a plate road running shoe and is intended for runners who want a combination of high shock absorption and a more stable running experience, whether on short or long routes. The fit is normal and is suitable for road running, where comfort and continuity of stride are fundamental.

The upper features a high-quality jacquard mesh construction, which offers breathability and a comfortable feel around the foot while running. The zoned padded tongue helps increase comfort on the instep, while reflective details improve visibility when running in low light conditions.

The midsole is made of PEBA foam combined with supercritical EVA, offering a soft and springy platform with a focus on shock absorption. An integrated carbon fiber plate contributes to a more stable and controlled ride, while supporting propulsion with every step.
