Guru tip– Maverick to the Mach, Goose to the Cielo X 1

Tech tip–  ZOOOOM!! Reach top speed in the Hoka Mach X 2! taking inspiration from the Cielo X 1. A thicker layer of extra-resilient PEBA foam sits on top of a winged Pebax® plate to help you fly through your workouts. Taking inspiration from the Cielo X 1, the redesigned geometry adds smoothness with snap, crackle, and pop the Rice Krispies boys would be jealous of. Switching to a lightweight woven upper with a sleeker heel collar the Mach X 2 disappears on the foot. Finished with a rubber outsole, the Mach X 2 has enough durability for your training and racing needs. Sitting in the go-to workout shoe for Hoka, the Mach X 2 is perfect for those wanting a spunky uptempo shoe best for long runs, workouts, and even races.
