TNF's Flight Vectiv Has Something Hoka About It

HOKA ONE ONE is a leading brand in the field of high-performance footwear. Its sneakers are bulky by nature, with thick-soled sneakers like the Bondi 6 Low helping to catapult the brand into the mainstream. It's no surprise that The North Face's Flight Vectiv looks so familiar if all eyes are on HOKA.

Of course, HOKA's reputation as an industry leader is based on more than just looks.

Each new footwear model released by the brand displays the company's commitment to pushing the boundaries and being on the cutting edge of performance sneaker technology. The Bondi X, the company's most recent release, combined the silhouette's well-known comfort with a carbon plate, enhancing each step of a run and effectively making its fastest shoe even quicker.

As remarkable as the technology inside each sneaker is, its popularity among fashionistas can be attributed to its on-trend bulky silhouettes. HOKA ONE ONE tackles distance running with thick soles that would make the Balenciaga Tripe S tremble. Whereas Salomon has found success with retro coloring and narrower streamlined trial-running silhouettes like the XT-6 and XT-Wings 2, HOKA ONE ONE tackles distance running with thick soles that would make the Balenciaga Tripe S tremble.

The North Face, it appears, has been taking notes. The Flight Vectiv, a new generation of TNF's Vectiv sneaker that debuted in February, shares the Bondi models' low-top, bottom-heavy, and functional manufacturing mix. The footwear is jam-packed with technology. These are masters of energy optimization on every surface thanks to a mix of a Pebax plate, SurfaceCTRL grip, and VECTIV technology.

There's more to it than meets the eye, much like a Swiss Army Knife. Thanks to FUTURELIGHT Infinite Reflect, Kevlar, polyamide, and Matryx textiles, these are made to take a hammering in any conditions.

While these may easily be mistaken for a HOKA silhouette, they're loaded with enough features to compete with the best-performing shoes on the market.
