Running shoes HOKA ROCKET X 2

The HOKA ROCKET X 2 is a carbon-plated racing shoe for road racing from 5K to marathon distance. Designed for faster paces, it handles tempo runs and intervals well, though it shines most at race speeds rather than slower training paces.

The midsole uses dual-layer PEBA foam with a stiff carbon fiber plate sandwiched between the layers, delivering responsive cushioning with good energy return. The shoe offers neutral support and features an engineered mesh upper with internal midfoot cage for a secure, locked-down fit. The outsole uses durable rubber with good grip on both dry and wet surfaces.
