The streamlined midsole design features two layers of highly resilient PEBA foam. In addition to the meta-rocker structure starting from the heel, a warped carbon plate is installed inside to provide not only rich cushioning, but also overwhelming propulsive force.

A lightweight, highly breathable and form-fitting technical synthetic upper wraps the foot securely, while a gusseted tongue is added to the midfoot for a snug fit. Zone rubber placement on the outsole reduces weight without compromising durability.

The Rocket X 2 is a new look from the first model, a shoe designed for record-setting races. The Rocket X 2 is a worthy choice as a partner for competitive races.

Colin Ingram, HOKA's Vice President of Product, commented on the release of the new product as follows

The ROCKET X 2 embodies HOKA's commitment to pushing the envelope and is the premier race product for elite athletes in pursuit of race records and personal bests. Innovating every aspect of the shoe through design, construction and testing, it is the highest performing road racing product in HOKA's lineup.
