Rocket X 2
Rocket X 2 is a road racing shoe developed for elite and long-distance runners chasing fast times. Compared with the original Rocket X, it raises the platform and places a reshaped carbon plate between two layers of responsive PEBA foam. A breathable synthetic mesh upper, gusseted tongue and internal midfoot cage secure the foot at race pace. Zonal Durabrasion rubber targets traction without full outsole coverage.
