An Ultra‑Light, Carbon‑Plated Speed Machine For Race Day
The updated HOKA Cielo X1 3.0 is built to make you feel springy, quick, and sure‑footed when you push pace. Whether it’s a fast 5K, tempo session, or marathon, this speed machine has the goods to get you to the finish faster.
Lace up these racing shoes to experience firsthand how bouncy and responsive they feel, pushing you forward with an aggressively shaped rocker design. HOKA utilizes a special PEBA foam to help absorb the impacts of running, as well as a compression-molded polyurethane outsole for traction. It also features refined heel geometry to help increase stability while you’re running. Put these together, and you’ll be moving sure-footed from start to finish.
Of course, who could forget the stabilizing winged carbon-fiber plate within the midsole? This plate helps give the Cielo X1 3.0 its signature snappy feel, increasing propulsion in every takeoff.
Last but not least, we get an all-new upper design that’s hard to ignore. HOKA streamlines things with this stretchy, dynamic vamp, contouring better to your foot shape while staying incredibly lightweight.

I have always been a Puma fast r guy but these Cielo 3,0 are so much fun to run in.I never had this much bounce and forward propulsion. I have knee issues and these really seem to help.
