The i-Run team says
Developed over several years and tested by world-renowned athletes, the The North Face Flight Vectiv shoe for men aims to revolutionize your trail sessions. Designed for long distances, this concentration of expertise contains unparalleled power to ensure memorable performances and unprecedented sensations.
The result of long-term work and numerous tests, the Vectiv technology allows you to discover new horizons. To achieve this, this innovative construction features a 3D carbon fiber plate that rewards your strides with explosive energy return. This plate runs through key areas of the upper to offer you impeccable stability, regardless of the direction of your support.
Combined with a rocker-shaped midsole, you benefit from an extremely smooth foot roll and propulsion that optimizes your effort. Designed with two distinct layers of foam, it is capable of absorbing impacts with the ground and drastically reducing their effects on your body. As a result, you can extend your outings while maintaining absolute serenity.
Covered with a mesh upper, this formidable asset is completely air-permeable to provide you with an inexhaustible source of freshness. Comfortable, its sock-like construction wraps your foot with great precision to quickly make you forget it's there. At the midfoot, you will find the Matryx process which promises exceptional abrasion resistance, custom support, and exemplary breathability.
The various TPU reinforcements help improve the overall durability while a heel counter further secures your adventures. The padded tongue and Achilles tendon cushion allow you to fully enjoy your exploits.
Do not shy away from any trail, the outsole is entirely made of Surface Control rubber. This provides you with grip specifically designed to conquer nature. Its 3.5 mm lugs significantly increase your traction and guarantee explosive traction.
