We're in the heart of Spring Running and Racing friends. HOKA, with the new Skyward X, is staking its claim via shoes with the "plushest ride on the road." First seen on the streets on Boston, Massachusetts a few days ago, this new addition to the Max Cushion and Super Trainer (categories) features a revolutionary suspension system with a convex carbon fiber plate that allows the suspension system to compress and spring back with each step.
We're talking a pillowy cushioning platform on top of pogo springs friends!
Quick details: flat knit upper (keeps the shoes lightweight), PEBA midsole foam (the aforementioned pillowy cushioning), Carbon fiber plate & Super critical EVA rocker frame (the previously mentioned pogo springs), Heel–To–Toe Drop 5mm.
Our friends at HOKA said they discarded the rulebook when creating the Skyward X. I know I personally can't wait to get these puppies on my feet and out onto the street. Feeling the same? Pick up a pair online today, or visit with us at our Center City location where you can find these shoes waiting for you.....
