Men's Hoka One One Cielo X1 2.0

3.5/5
(3)
A tip-of-the-spear product tuned for higher tempo pickups, the Cielo X1 2.0 is a must for speed seekers. Engineered with an aggressive forefoot rocker and ultra-responsive dual-density PEBA midsole with snappy carbon fiber plate, this pace-pushing road racer has been finished with a light, breathable upper. Designed with dynamic cutouts for weight savings and a cushioned collar to ensure secure foot lockdown, we’ve employed a sticky rubber outsole for improved traction when chasing those PRs.
