The North Face – VECTIV Infinite 3 Trail Running Shoes - Men's

Built with a 3D dual-density footplate, rocker-shaped midsole and SurfaceCtrl™ outsole, Vectiv™ technology is engineered to help you move efficiently on the trail. In the Infinite model, this results in a smooth blend of responsiveness and support for long-distance runs. This updated, race-focused version introduces ultra-light Dream foam cushioning, delivering higher energy return, lower weight and improved durability compared to traditional EVA midsoles.

A full-length Vectiv™ 3.0 3D TPU plate adds a more pronounced midfoot stability chassis, helping drive forward momentum while maintaining lateral control on technical terrain. Compared to the previous Infinite 2, this version includes an extra 1mm of cushioning for added comfort over uneven surfaces.

Designed for running and training, this shoe offers a cushioned, stable ride with reliable grip on challenging trails. The lightweight, seamless upper features mapped ventilation zones for breathability and a secure fit, while the engineered dual-warp mesh uses 57% recycled materials. An updated heel design and integrated tongue wings improve lockdown through the heel and midfoot.

Underfoot, the full-length Dream nitrogen-TPU midsole delivers lightweight cushioning with lasting energy return. The rockered geometry supports consistent forward motion, while the 29mm heel stack and 6mm offset provide a balanced platform. The SurfaceCtrl™ rubber outsole is optimized for durability and versatility, incorporating 20% rubber sourced from smallholder farmers using regenerative agricultural practices. Aggressive 5mm lugs ensure confident traction on technical terrain.
