The Carbon X 2, newest release from HOKA, is engineered with a responsive carbon fiber plate to add propulsion for an efficient and smooth stride over many miles. Features a PROFLY™ midsole designed to provide a perfect blend of soft protection and energetic response in HOKA’s softest and lightest foam to date. This low-profile cushion bed keeps your foot closer to the ground and firmer material designed to provide an efficient push-off. The simplified upper material makes the fit more breathable and lightweight, while a bonded tongue makes for a more secure wrap of the foot. This inherently stable and supportive packaged shoe is designed to withstand your training miles as well as your racing miles.
