Featuring an ultra-light yet structurally-sound footplate, midsole rocker geometry and SurfaceCTRL™ grip, the VECTIV™ technology powering these shoes is optimised to amplify output on trails. With the same reliable features as the original, the Exploris II is built to cover maximum mileage. Modifications have been made, however.

This platform provides enhanced logistical stability through increased breadth. A 2 mm increased stack height boosts comfort and underfoot support. The rockered midsole features a forked heel and forefoot and a stiffened TPU plate, allowing for enhanced lateral displacement and stability. Thanks to athlete-tested FUTURELIGHT™ technology, the membrane maintains its waterproof and breathable properties. Reinforced heels and toes render the shoe suitable for rocky paths, while 4mm lugs provide traction on uneven surfaces.
