In the Fast Lane with the HOKA Cielo X1 3.0
"When seconds matter, so do your shoes. The lightest and fastest super shoe in the HOKA lineup, the Cielo X1 3.0 is tuned for maximum propulsion and precision on race day. It's already found its way onto the podium of a World Marathon Majors when Alex Masai wore a pair on his way to his third-place finish at the 2025 Chicago Marathon."
"In the original Cielo X1, everything was focused on performance, and the aggressive geometry and overall construction made it a race-day ally. The next iteration, the Cielo X1 2.0, shaved about an ounce off the original, received an updated carbon plate, and got a thin, engineered jacquard mesh upper, refining its ability as a racing super shoe. The Cielo X1 3.0 takes everything another step further as a shoe designed to go fast."
"This all-gender shoe is significantly lighter than its predecessor. The Cielo X1 3.0 weighs 7.5 ounces for a U.S. men's size 10, compared to the 8.1 ounces for the previous version. Meanwhile, a U.S. women's 8 weighs 6.2 ounces, compared to the 6.8 ounces of the Cielo X1 2.0. In addition to the reduced weight, a range of new details make this the brand's lightest and fastest super shoe yet."
The HOKA Cielo X1 3.0 is a lighter, faster evolution of HOKA's racing super shoe line, engineered for maximum propulsion and precision on race day. The design lineage traces back to the HOKA Rocket line in 2018 and progressed through the original Cielo X1 and the Cielo X1 2.0, each iteration prioritizing weight savings and performance tweaks. The 3.0 reduces weight for both men and women, features an updated upper and carbon plate, adjusts heel geometry via an aggressive MetaRocker™ for added stability, and uses a low-friction outsole to enhance speed during races and fast training efforts.
