Skyward X 2
Skyward X 2 is a plated max-cushion trainer for daily miles, long runs, and recovery. It retains the original’s lively feel while revising the carbon-fiber plate for a more secure ride and reducing weight and stack. PEBA and a supercritical EVA rocker frame provide soft protection and forward motion. Jacquard mesh refines comfort, while sticky forefoot rubber and a Durabrasion Rubber heel add grip and durability.
