Built for Marathon Speed

The Cielo X1 series has quickly become one of HOKA’s most aggressive racing shoes, built for runners looking to maximize efficiency and propulsion across long distances.

The Cielo X1 3.0 maintains its powerful PEBA foam and carbon fiber plate combination while refining the overall geometry and traction to create a smoother and more stable racing experience. Whether you're lining up for a marathon or chasing a fast half marathon, this shoe is designed to help you hold speed late into the race.

Upper Updates

HOKA updated the upper with a new material that provides a more comfortable and adaptive fit.

• New upper material with a more knit-like feel
• Lightweight construction designed for race-day comfort
• Secure fit that moves naturally with the foot

Midsole & Outsole Updates

The biggest changes to the Cielo X1 3.0 come in the midsole geometry and outsole traction.

• Carbon fiber plate drives forward propulsion and race-day efficiency
• More grippy outsole improves traction when running at high speeds
