Hoka Rocket X 2 – Road Racing Redefined
Engineered for athletes chasing podium finishes and personal bests, the Hoka Rocket X 2 blends speed, precision, and comfort into a lightweight racing shoe. Built for marathons, half-marathons, or competitive 10Ks, it delivers elite-level performance mile after mile.
At its core, the Rocket X 2 features ProFlyX™ construction, combining two layers of high-resilience PEBA foam with a remastered carbon fiber plate. This setup provides explosive energy return, smooth transitions, and a propulsive ride that helps maintain pace through demanding efforts. The Early Stage MetaRocker™ geometry further reduces energy expenditure, allowing for efficient, forward momentum from start to finish.
The technical synthetic mesh upper offers breathable, sock-like comfort, while the gusseted tongue and internal midfoot cage ensure a secure, locked-in fit. Together, these features provide race-day stability without sacrificing lightweight responsiveness.
Durability and traction come from strategic zonal rubber placement and Durabrasion rubber, giving grip where it’s needed most without adding bulk. Hoka also incorporates eco-conscious elements, including a 100% recycled sockliner top cloth and recycled materials in the laces, blending sustainability with high performance.
Weighing just 235g, the Rocket X 2 is designed to feel light, fast, and efficient—perfect for athletes aiming to maximize every stride.
