The VECTIV™ technology utilized in the Exploris II includes an ultra-lightweight yet supportive footplate, midsole rocker geometry, and SurfaceCTRL™ grip for optimized energy transfer on the trail. Despite bearing the same features as the original, this version features a wider foundation for increased stability.
The heightened stack height of 2 mm contributes to cushioning and support; the rockered midsole boasts an articulated heel and forefoot, plus a TPU plate for greater side movement and steadiness. Developed in collaboration with The North Face® athletes, the FUTURELIGHT™ membrane maintains its exemplary water-repellent and breathable properties. Additionally, the heels and toes are reinforced to shield from rocks and 4mm lugs offer traction on uneven surfaces.

- UPPER: Breathable-waterproof FUTURELIGHT™ membrane

- SOLE UNIT: VECTIV™ 2.0 rockered midsole offers a forked heel and forefoot and a TPU plate for increased lateral displacement and stability
