What Makes Vectiv Unique?

Positioned directly underfoot, the 3D VECTIV plate provides forward propulsion and stability. The plate is shaped to compliment the Rocker Midsole shape underneath to offer that responsive underfoot support and the new Surface CTRL high-traction rubber outsole for surefooted confidence on any terrain.

The Future of Trail Running

Over two years of world-class athletes testing VECTIV pushed The North Face design teams to rethink the future of trail. Their proprietary VECTIV technology has been proven by third-party research to reduce impact by 10% with no compromise on energy efficiency.
