Hoka Cielo X1 3.0 – Elite Road Racing Shoes Built for Pure Speed
The Hoka Cielo X1 3.0 represents the next generation of elite road racing footwear, designed for runners who demand maximum propulsion, efficiency and speed on race day. Built for 10K, half-marathon and marathon distances, this high-performance road running shoe combines advanced materials with a race-tuned geometry to help you run faster with less effort.
At the heart of the Cielo X1 3.0 is a dual-density PEBA midsole, delivering an ultra-responsive and energetic ride. This premium cushioning system provides exceptional energy return while maintaining a lightweight, race-ready feel underfoot. Embedded within the midsole is a winged carbon fibre plate, engineered to enhance forward propulsion, increase efficiency and add stability during high-speed efforts.
A speed-centric rocker profile encourages smooth transitions and continuous forward momentum, helping you maintain pace deep into your run. Strategic dynamic cutouts in the midsole reduce overall weight without sacrificing performance, ensuring a fast and agile ride. The minimal rubber outsole coverage offers targeted traction where it matters most, keeping weight low while maintaining grip on road surfaces.
The upper is designed for breathability, comfort and secure lockdown. A lightweight knit upper and collar provides a close, race-ready fit, while the asymmetrical gusseted knit tongue allows for easy entry and enhanced midfoot security. Inside, a responsive 4 mm sockliner adds a touch of comfort without compromising performance, making the Cielo X1 3.0 ideal for both race day and fast training sessions.
Combining innovation, speed and efficiency, the Hoka Cielo X1 3.0 stands as one of Hoka’s most performance-driven road racing shoes to date, built for runners chasing personal bests and podium finishes.
