The Hoka Mach X 2 is the latest addition to Hoka’s range of running shoes, specifically developed to provide optimal results on both race days and during intense training. Specifically designed for fast runs, long distances and races, this shoe combines a high degree of responsiveness with superior comfort, resulting in a gentle but efficient running experience. Here is the Hoka Mach X 2 Release Date and everything you need to know about the new shoe model.
Last year, the first model of the Hoka Mach X was released and it was an instant hit with runners. The Hoka Mach is an extremely popular model of running shoe for Hoka fans and by placing a carbon fiber plate in the midsole, Hoka made the shoe have a more responsive feel in the midsole. Proof that the shoe has been well received in running circles is that the second model is already being launched – only a year after the premiere of the first version.
Hoka Mach X 2 Release Date
The Hoka Mach X 2 is now on sale on Hoka’s website and the launch date is today, August 30th. It has a price of $190 and is available in two different colors.
Innovative Midsole for Best Performance
The new Hoka Mach X 2 is equipped with an advanced midsole consisting of two layers: an upper layer of PEBA foam and a Pebax plate. This combination offers a unique balance between resilience and stability. The new stabilizing wings in the forefoot provide extra support and security during the run, making the shoe ideal for high-intensity interval sessions and longer runs.
MetaRocker Geometry for Powerful Propulsion
Inspired by Hoka’s Cielo X1 racing shoe, the Mach X 2 features an aggressive MetaRocker geometry. This design with its characteristic cradle-like shape and upward angled toe makes each step more efficient, helping the runner to maintain a high pace and reduce energy consumption.
Thin and Breathable Upper
The shoe’s upper is made from a highly breathable and durable woven material. This construction provides both support and comfort around the foot, while allowing airflow to keep feet cool and dry during long runs.
Improved Outsole for Maximum Grip
Hoka has also improved the outsole of the Mach X 2 by strategically placing durable rubber to provide better grip, especially on wet surfaces like asphalt. This not only increases the durability of the shoe, but also gives the runner the confidence needed to handle different types of terrain in all weather conditions.
