The earlier Craft Xplor (Black, Blaze, Multi) has a higher stack: 38.5mm heel / 32.5mm forefoot. This gives it a softer, more cushioned ride—great for longer runs or added comfort.
The newer version (Clay, Jade, Lazer) is slightly lower at 36mm/30mm, which offers a lighter, more responsive feel with better ground contact—ideal for everyday training or quicker runs.
Both have a 6mm drop, so the overall running mechanics stay similar—it really comes down to whether you want more cushion or more agility.
