The New HOKA Cielo X1 3.0: Built for Personal Bests

The HOKA Cielo X1 3.0 is the fastest and lightest racing shoe HOKA has ever developed. Specially designed for runners who refuse to compromise on race day and for whom every second counts. With aggressive geometry, a propulsive carbon plate, and ultra-light PEBA foam, this super shoe delivers an explosive combination of speed, efficiency, and energy return.

Compared to its predecessor, the Cielo X1 3.0 is even lighter, with a refined fit and improved stability. Every aspect of this shoe is designed with one goal in mind: to get from start to finish as quickly as possible.

Maximum Speed Thanks to Carbon Technology

• Propulsion Carbon Plate – The integrated carbon plate works in tandem with the shoe’s aggressive geometry to convert every step into maximum forward speed. This makes the push-off feel powerful, efficient, and explosive.
• Optimized MetaRocker™ – The redesigned rocker construction ensures a fast and smooth transition, allowing you to roll effortlessly into the next step.
• Race-optimized geometry – Developed for high speeds and designed to let you glide over the asphalt as efficiently as possible.

Ultralight PEBA Foam for Explosive Energy Return

• Responsive PEBA Foam – This premium foam offers an exceptional combination of cushioning and energy return. The landing feels soft, while the shoe springs back instantly for maximum speed.
• Lightweight Performance – Weighing just about 213 grams, the Cielo X1 3.0 is one of the lightest performance shoes on the market.

The result is a racing shoe that delivers speed without putting unnecessary strain on the legs.

Redesigned Upper for Comfort During Competition

• High-tech textile with a linen weave – Ultra-lightweight, breathable, and designed to provide optimal support for the foot at high speeds.
• Asymmetrical lacing – Provides a more personalized fit and reduces pressure points on the instep.
• Minimalist construction – Excess material around the tongue and heel has been removed to reduce weight and enhance the direct racing feel.

Greater Stability at High Speeds

Although speed is the main focus, HOKA has also worked on improving control.

• Sophisticated heel construction – Provides extra stability during landing and helps keep the foot securely in place, even at high speeds.
• Neutral platform – Provides just the right amount of support without affecting the natural gait.

Grip for Game Day

• Compressed polyurethane outsole – Designed for maximum grip on the asphalt, so you can accelerate with confidence through turns, on straights, and during your final sprint.
