HOKA's race day performance model has gotten a complete overhaul. Whilst it was a favourite for many, their top athletes were asking for even more and they've delivered.

Over 10% lighter than the original, the Cielo X1 2.0 weighs in at only 221 grams (men's US9) thanks to the new engineered mesh uppers and re-tooled midsole cutouts. This lighter weight doesn't mean you get less shoe – the same dual-layered PEBA and carbon plated midsole construction gives you fantastic energy return. A more aggressive geometry is forefoot-focussed, giving you a faster feeling shoe from the very first stride.

The re-worked uppers ditch the sometimes-heavy knitter construction for a more conventional engineered mesh. This type of construction brings the benefit of lighter weight and a more forgiving fit – win/win!

*Unisex fit listed in Men's sizes. Women's add 1 for equivalent, ie: Men's US7 = Women's US8
