Aura 2
Aura 2 is a max-cushioned stability shoe for daily running, long runs, and walking. Compared with the first Aura, its ZipFoam is tuned slightly softer, while the high-stack, low-drop platform retains the Y-Frame Guidance System for structured support. A breathable mesh upper combines a roomy toe box with secure midfoot and heel hold, and high-abrasion rubber supplies traction. It comes in Standard and Wide widths.

- Daily, Long run, Stability, Walking

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- The exact official US product page lists 10.6 oz for men's M9; weight_g is converted and rounded to approximately 301 g for DB normalization.
- Plate note
- The exact official US page gives a complete construction package covering Y-Frame guidance, ZipFoam, the OrthoLite insole, mesh upper, and high-abrasion rubber without identifying a carbon structure. This supports carbon_plate=false, but it does not establish the Y-Frame material or whether another non-carbon plate-like element is present.
