Details

The HOKA Mach X 2 takes race-day DNA and infuses it into a high-powered training platform built for speed and efficiency. Its midsole combines a hyper-responsive PEBA superfoam core with an EVA chassis, creating a well-cushioned landing and an explosive toe-off ideal for fast-paced mileage. Threaded between these two foams is an extended Pebax® Rnew propulsion plate, providing structured support and crisp forward drive, while the aggressive rocker geometry — inspired by the Cielo X 1 — boosts turnover with a snappy, propulsive toe-off.


Up top, the ultra-light woven upper keeps weight to a minimum while delivering breathable, supportive containment with a race-fit collar tailored for pure speed. Beneath, zonal rubber placement ensures strategic durability without unnecessary bulk, making the Mach X 2 both fast and resilient. Designed for athletes chasing PRs and building speed into daily training, the Mach X 2 offers a finely tuned blend of lightweight construction, responsive cushioning, and performance-forward engineering.



MIDSOLE

  • PEBA superfoam adds soft lightweight resiliency to the midsole.
  • EVA foam chassis provides added cushioning while stabilizing the PEBA foam.

  • Early-stage MetaRocker geometry makes for smooth transitions.

  • Zonal rubber provides durable traction while saving on weight.


UPPER

  • Engineered woven upper offers a highly breathable, lightweight, and adaptable fit.
