Today we talk about the Hoka One One Tracer 2, Running shoes that have been designed for high intensity training, although they are classified as a very versatile model. It has new features especially in the upper, in other areas maintain a continuity with its predecessor. We advance that these that we present are light and high performance shoes designed to pick up speed. They are very permissive and ideal for your high intensity workouts .
As we have just mentioned, this shoe maintains the same line as the original model in the sole and midsole area, so we will not find major changes. In the latter area, it has been made with Pro2Lite, a system that has two densities in order to improve cushioning in the heel area, and increase agility in the forefoot.
We continue with the upper that keeps the novelties of these Hoka One One Tracer 2, in fact it is a completely new upper with a clear protagonist: engineered mesh. Or what is the same, a fabric somewhat more pleasant to the touch and with a point of elasticity which promises to improve support throughout the dynamics of the tread. It has been made with a technical mesh 3D Puff Print structure in the upper in order to offer a secure and more comfortable fit. Likewise, the Californian firm has opted for the thermoseals on the sides, which also promise to give us that extra fit. As for the design of this second version we can say that it is a very versatile training option that is still characterized by providing a very good cushioning for its weight .
We move on to the outsole where they maintain the generous outsole of the original version of the Tracer which includes the Hi Abrsaion Lightweight rubber. It is a compound that has been arranged in strategic areas and is able to provide greater durability to the shoe.
Finally, in terms of technical specifications, we have previously mentioned that this is a very light shoe thanks to the materials that have been used and the truth is that its actual weight in the men's version is 235 gr and instead of 190 gr in the women's version. The drop is 4mm.
