Skyward X brings ultimate cushioning and rebound feel
Luxurious foot feel beyond thick cuts
Skyward If we use ingredients as a metaphor, the editor feels that the midsole of Skyward X is not only a piece of thick-cut steak, but also a luxurious thick-cut steak! Just looking at the technical configuration will make people drool. The entire shoe is made of double-layered supercritical foam. The upper layer of the midsole is supercritical PEBA foam, which gives a comfortable foot feel with fast rebound. It is also covered near the heel. The cup-shaped structure makes the gait more stable; the lower layer is made of supercritical EVA foam, which is combined with the upper layer of supercritical PEBA foam to provide runners with excellent stability and cushioning.
However, the key to the luxury of the midsole is not just the two layers of foam mentioned above. In the middle of these two layers of supercritical foam, there is also a sandwich H-shaped bridge-type carbon fiber plate, which can help the midsole to absorb the stress on the heel during running. When pressed, a more energetic rebound is produced. Judging from the appearance of the carbon plate, the design is similar to the English letter "H", which allows the feet to feel smooth when landing, making the gait transition from forefoot to heel easier. The midsole of Skyward
The outsole is equipped with wear-resistant rubber to provide stable grip for the shoe. The small holes and grooves in the outsole are also helpful for drainage. The shape adopts HOKA's signature rolling arc structure and is matched with the hollow design of the midsole to give runners a feeling of stability and flexibility.
The upper design of Skyward X is also a highlight
Both comfort and protection are considered
Skyward The appearance of the midsole is not too rigid, but adds eye-catching features, which can be said to be quite good-looking and easy to match. The upper is made of flat-weave polyester knitting, which allows the upper to fit your feet like a sock, taking into account both support and breathability, giving your feet a comfortable feel.
If you look closely, you will find that the shoelace system adopts a transverse perforation structure in the third and fourth groups of holes. When tying the shoelaces, this structural design will spread from the midfoot area to the entire upper, providing stronger and more stable coverage than traditional holes. feel. In addition, the tongue with a certain thickness also adds extra comfort to the instep. Finally, a support locking structure is configured in the heel, which extends upward to support the Achilles tendon and downward to a deepened cup-shaped midsole, allowing the runner to rebound stably with every step and feel at ease while experiencing this innovative pair of running shoes. .
Skyward X creates a new balance of propulsion and cushioning
