Escalante Racer 2
Escalante Racer 2 is a low-stack road shoe for racing, speedwork, and fast training. Its 22 mm zero-drop Altra EGO platform combines InnerFlex grooves and FootPod geometry for ground feel and natural flexibility. Generation two adds a breathable engineered-knit upper, greater lateral flexibility, and a subtle rocker for steadier landings and stronger toe-off. Original FootShape fit leaves generous room up front.
