HOKA Skyward X 2
adidas Hyperboost Edge
The HOKA Skyward X 2 and adidas Hyperboost Edge are both premium high-stack trainers with excellent cushioning, but they feel different underfoot. The HOKA is taller and heavier, with a convex carbon plate that helps control its huge stack rather than making it feel especially fast. The adidas is lower, lighter, and slightly more responsive, with better energy return under both the heel and forefoot. Both are highly cushioned, but the adidas is the better pick if you want the comparatively livelier ride, while the HOKA suits runners who want a taller, plated cruiser.
