【The North Face】I want to get new shoes for spring running! Easy to move in initial road running shoes
It's getting a little warmer, and I want to start running seriously from spring. For those people, I recommend The North Face's first road running shoes "VECTIV Forward". Why not experience outstanding propulsion and start running comfortably?
Trail running shoes provide stability
The "VECTIV Forward" is a model that reworks the techniques developed in trail running for road runners, ensuring not only support for the training of trail runners but also robustly backing up a wide range of road runners with its stability.
The road running shoe "VECTIV Forward" maintains the stability similar to that of trail running shoes, thanks to its wide contact surface, while enhancing forward propulsion on roads. It is guaranteed to elevate the quality of running for everyone from beginners aiming to finish the race to experienced runners seeking efficiency.
Since road running involves repeated motions that impose significant strain, the midsole's responsiveness and cushioning have been restructured. It has been balanced to allow runners to enjoy a comfortable running experience, even over long distances.
In terms of outsole design, unlike the grip required for trail running shoes, it emphasizes stability on flat asphalt and smooth foot movement. It achieves a smooth foot movement and grip balance during road running.
