We threw out the rulebook when creating the Skyward X. Pushing soft and smooth to the extreme, this cushy new trainer features a revolutionary suspension system with a convex carbon fibre plate that allows the suspension system to compress and spring back with each step. A soft, highly resilient PEBA foam sits closest to the foot for a lively, cushioned ride, while a super critical EVA frame provides a stable base for your easiest miles yet.

Midsole: there is a lot going on in the midsole of this shoe. The yellow part that you see in the heel is a layer of supercritical PEBA that actually extends all the way to the forefoot.
