Power Further
Introducing VECTIV™, The North Face's most innovative trail footwear technology to date. VECTIV turns energy into momentum to propel you forward. Maximum propulsion, optimal cushioning, and a smooth and stable ride. Field tested by the pros!
Why We Love The Technology
It’s all about bringing more energy to everyone's run. Inspired by ultra trail runners taking on 50k+ races to beginners taking on their first 5k and any trail runner in between, the VECTIV line of high-performance footwear maximizes energy on the trail for all types of runners so you can power further!
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.
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.
