Hoka Cielo X2 MD

Built to attack the bell lap and hold form through the final straight, the Hoka Cielo X2 MD is a purpose-made middle-distance spike tuned for fast, efficient racing from the 800m up through the 3K. Underfoot, a super critical foamed EVA midsole keeps the ride lively while staying low and precise on the track. A carbon-fiber plate adds structure and pop at toe-off, and the 6-pin Pebax spike plate bites hard when you’re accelerating, cornering, or kicking.
