Skyward X

Max Cushion2024-04-15 · JP · Release dateChecked 2026-11-04

Skyward X is a max-cushioned trainer for daily miles and long runs. Soft, responsive PEBA sits above stable supercritical EVA, with a convex carbon-fiber plate between them forming a suspension system that rebounds through each stride. Active Foot Frame and Meta-Rocker guide a smooth transition, while the flat-knit upper and midfoot lockdown refine fit. An abrasion-resistant rubber outsole supports routine mileage.
