This is the most precise trail sneaker in the Summit Series upper. THE NORTH FACE SUMMIT VECTIV SKY has a reduced cushioning (21/17mm) and a 4mm drop making it a minimalist shoe with a light cushioning.
The upper is lightweight and breathable, designed to be close to the foot for maximum precision and feel. The rubber outsole rides up to the front of the toe for extra protection. It is two-piece to provide excellent flexibility and save weight, the 3.5mm high lugs provide grip and traction with enough spacing for breaking in wet conditions.
Most of the technology is invisible, well hidden inside the cushioning. A carbon plate provides stiffness for improved force feedback and ractility, a heel insert provides support and stability. In the forefoot, the progressive rocker shape provides fluidity and lightness to your crowd, and the rebound is not forgotten with a 4m Pebax reinforcement that also improves the protection of your foot.
