The North Face Vectiv

Technology, speed and stability for trail and long runs - The North Face Vectiv

The North Face VECTIV is a line of powerful, stable and fast trail shoes designed for runners who want maximum efficiency and confidence on challenging terrain. VECTIV models use a unique sole and midsole construction that helps transfer energy forward, promoting a smooth stride and increasing efficiency on long runs. They are ideal for technical trails, mountain climbs, fast runs and ultra races.

The VECTIV line includes multiple sub-models - such as the Vectiv Enduris, which is the most comfortable and stable option for long runs, the Vectiv Infinite, which combines durability and high energy return, or the Vectiv Flight, a top racing model designed with elite TNF athletes. All sub-variants use the 3D VECTIV™ plate (TPU or carbon depending on version), which provides stability, dynamics and fast response in challenging terrain.

VECTIV models use breathable and durable uppers that protect against rocks and roots, while the responsive foam midsole cushions impacts even on tougher mountain sections. The outsole with SurfaceCTRL™ rubber and aggressive grips provides reliable traction in all conditions - on wet rock, dirt, gravel and technical trail.

They work best on mountain runs, technical trail, ultra distances and anywhere you need a combination of speed, stability and extra power. Depending on the terrain, lifetime is usually around 600-900 km. If you're looking for a shoe to support you on long climbs and fast descents and want to use modern trail technology to its fullest, The North Face VECTIV is a great choice.
