It has the simplicity and FootShape fit of the Escalante, but even faster. We made it leaner, more dynamic, lighter and more responsive. Whether it’s start lines, speed sessions or fast training runs, this road shoe has all the speed you need to set personal bests and win a few segments. It features an updated engineered knit upper for a comfortable, breathable fit. It has Altra EGO™ midsole foam for responsiveness and a direct connection to the ground, with a touch of bounce. We retained many of the standout features of the classic Racer, including the low 22mm stack height for quick turnover, plus a roomy toe box and zero drop for natural movement. The Escalante Racer 2 is one of the most direct, no-nonsense shoes we have ever made.
