HOKA presents its new Skyline-Float X sneaker model, which is a crossover running silhouette that is ready for all terrain and adventures. The shoes have a chunky structure and are made from sleek mesh materials throughout the upper to deliver breathable capabilities.
Additionally, this is made from partially recycled materials to continue pushing forward sustainable values. It also rests on top of an engineered midsole foundation that is complete with a Pebax plate for what the brand described to have 'dynamic propulsion." Finally, the shoes rest on a specialized Vibrant XS Trek outsole that is sturdy for all-terrain wearing. The Skyline-Float X comes in a few colorway options, some of which are neutral and some with brighter detailing.
