Discover the running shoes Craft Xplor 2, combining performance and comfort for running on all types of terrain.
The Xplor 2 represents the second generation of our most versatile and high-performing running shoe, featuring a redesigned upper that provides a more secure fit, enhanced breathability, and greater durability for lasting comfort.
Inspired by the versatility of gravel bikes, this professional-quality shoe delivers perfect hybrid performance, feeling like a road shoe on the pavement and a trail shoe on the dirt. The shoe's new improved two-layer technical mesh upper, designed with body mapping zones, enhances ventilation and provides a tighter and more secure fit for stable and comfortable running.
What sets the Xplor 2 apart is its integration of gravel running technology from the Vittoria world championship. This innovative design, inspired by the Terreno Dry and Terreno Mix tyre models, offers exceptional grip and durability on all terrains, thanks to its fish scale edges and progressive lugs, optimised for maximum speed where the pavement ends. For a softer and more comfortable experience, the midsole features a softer version of our Px Foam™ that is bouncy and responsive.
Px Foam™
The Px Foam™ is an ultra-lightweight midsole material that excels in energy return, shock absorption, and flexibility. Made from a single natural foam agent, this innovative material is produced without chemical crosslinking agents, ensuring a non-toxic process. Additionally, both raw and finished materials are fully reusable. The high-performance foam has an extremely low density, making it up to 20% lighter than traditional EVA. The reduced weight combined with explosive bounce makes Px Foam™ perfect for every run.
Vittoria outsole inspired by Terreno
Made in collaboration with world-class bike tyre manufacturer Vittoria, this unique outsole features fish scale edges and progressive lugs, inspired by the Terreno Dry and Terreno Mix tyre patterns. This results in an outsole optimised for maximum speed beyond urban landscapes, providing exceptional grip and durability on all terrains.
Craft Endurance Fit®
The Craft Endurance Fit® shoe features a narrow heel cup, midfoot locking, and a spacious forefoot. The narrow heel does not slip and offers unparalleled stability on all types of terrain. The midfoot lock provides a secure fit, boosting confidence with every stride. Furthermore, the spacious forefoot allows for natural toe and metatarsal movement, further enhancing comfort.
