Speed Refined. Fit Unmatched. Race Ready.

Meet the Altra Men’s Escalante Racer 2 in Blue—the stripped-down, fast-forward version of the classic Escalante, purpose-built for PR-chasers and pace-pushers. Designed with simplicity and speed in mind, this shoe delivers all the essentials for race day and nothing you don’t. Whether you’re chasing splits, hitting the track, or crushing a tempo run, the Racer 2 keeps you low, light, and locked in.
