CRAFT Xplor 2 Shoes 43

CRAFT Xplor 2 is the second generation of a versatile running shoe that is at home on both asphalt and light trails. In the new version, the upper received a better fit, with increased breathability and durability.
Inspired by the versatility of gravel bikes, the Xplor 2 boasts unique features that make you feel like you're in a road shoe on asphalt, while not disappointing you with its comfort, traction, and stability on the trail. The enhanced dual-layer mesh upper precisely follows the foot's ergonomics, improves ventilation, and offers a tighter and more secure fit for stable and comfortable running. What truly sets the Xplor 2 apart is the integration of Vittoria's racing tire technology, which has already succeeded multiple times at world championships. This innovative design, inspired by the tread patterns of Terreno Dry and Terreno Mix, provides exceptional traction and durability in any terrain thanks to fish scale-shaped edges and progressive siping, optimized for maximum speed where typical urban surfaces end. For a more comfortable running experience, the midsole is equipped with a softer version of Px Foam™.

Px Foam™ is an ultra-lightweight midsole material that offers exceptionally high energy return while providing impact resistance and flexibility. Natural materials are used in production without the addition of any chemical additives. The process is non-toxic and therefore environmentally friendly. Both the raw materials and the finished product are recyclable. Px Foam™ has an extremely low density, making it up to 20% lighter than traditional EVA. Thanks to its reduced weight combined with responsiveness and explosive rebound, Px Foam™ is perfect for every run.

Craft Endurance Fit® is a set of features of Craft running shoes, which includes a tapered heel cup, midfoot fixation, and a spacious forefoot. The narrow heel cup eliminates slipping and provides unparalleled stability on all types of terrain. Fixation of the midfoot is particularly important for foot stability in the shoe, which increases confidence with every step. The spacious front part allows for natural movement of the toes and metatarsal bones, further enhancing comfort.

Sole inspired by the Vittoria Terreno Dry and Terreno Mix model
This sole, designed in collaboration with the world-renowned bicycle tire manufacturer Vittoria, features a coarser tread on the sides, while the center of the sole ensures maximum grip on hard surfaces. This outsole is inspired by the Vittoria Terreno Dry and Terreno Mix bicycle tires. The result is a sole that allows for maximum speed on hard urban surfaces while providing exceptional traction and durability on light trails.
