Why You’ll Love It:

• Dual-Layer PEBA Midsole Foam
  Feather-light yet energetic, the PEBA midsole gives you bounce and protection without bulk, allowing for fast turnover and reduced fatigue.

  The forked plate design offers stability and propulsion with every stride, especially in the forefoot, where runners need it most during high-effort runs.

• Aggressive Rocker Geometry
  With a high toe-spring and early-stage rocker, the Cielo X1 encourages a fluid, forward roll—keeping you moving fast with less effort.

• Breathable Mono-Mesh Upper
  A performance-tuned upper with zonal reinforcement delivers a secure lockdown while allowing airflow to keep your feet cool on race day.

• Strategic Outsole Rubber
  Targeted rubber coverage in high-impact zones reduces weight and enhances grip, even at high speeds.
