PREVIEW HOKA ROCKET X2 - Coming Mid-Year

Hoka Rocket X2 Preview

.

After several models have been developed and gradually released until most colors are sold out, the Hoka Rocket X has remained quiet and showed no signs of arrival.
Fans who love the Rocket X have been asking about it continuously, and finally, this year, the brand has released the Hoka Rocket X2.
(There are many new changes, and I must say they are very interesting.)
.
Recently, many people may have caught a glimpse of it at some major running events where the Hoka team wore it in competition, and at that time, many people
said that this must be the new Rocket X because the other models have already been gradually released, but the brand itself kept it under wraps.
.
And most recently, at the Doi Inthanon Thailand by UTMB event, HOKA athlete Jiaju Zhao wore the Hoka Rocket X2 to race.
Both the shoes and the results caused quite a stir, with a time of 21:53:49, proving that the Hoka Rocket X2 is truly extraordinary.
.
As for the shoe details, I have to borrow some information from SNKR Today.

UPPER
While the previous model used Open Mesh, this model features a more breathable, durable, and lightweight fabric.
This type of fabric should help prevent sweat buildup and dry faster than the previous model. The tongue, true to the racing style, is thin, although it is unclear whether users will experience ankle injury issues. We will have to wait to see the actual product again, including the ankle lock, which appears quite thin in the photos, but the shoes themselves come with additional padding.

MIDSOLE

The changed midsole is something I have just seen Hoka not use EVA, which is quite shocking because normally, no matter what technology other brands switch to, Hoka has always firmly stuck with EVA. But this time, surprisingly, the Hoka Rocket X2 uses PEBAX. Many people are already familiar with this foam from Super Shoes in previous years of 2022. Its characteristics are light, soft, and bouncy, making running enjoyable and fun. The Rocket X2 midsole is divided into two layers: a full-foot carbon layer and a foam layer, which is very interesting and should be much more foot-friendly than Carbon X3.

OUTSOLE

It features rubber placed at the areas where weight is usually applied, rather than covering the entire sole, presumably to reduce the shoe's weight. As for what kind of rubber it is,
we will have to wait until the product is released.
.
As for the Meta Rocker shape found in almost every Hoka model, the Rocket X2 still features this technology. As we know,
this technology helps us move forward better and place our feet more smoothly.
.
Regarding the specs, it has now been revealed to have a 5 mm drop, a 40 mm high heel, and a weight of 226 grams.
For size 8.5 US, it weighs 196 grams. The Rocket X2 will be unisex, with no separate men's or women's models.
.
As for the release, it is definitely coming, no later than mid-year. The unofficial price is $250, or approximately 8,600 baht.
