VJ XTRM2 Trail Running Shoes
The VJ XTRM2 has got a new look and a bunch of new features that will make the shoe even better than its predecessor. It has been designed and tested to perform under extreme conditions.
Schoeller-Keprotec Upper
Engineered using a Schoeller-Keprotec upper, the XTRM2 features aramid fibres which are incredibly durable and protective to keep you going mile after mile. The upper allows for optimal airflow, by allowing warm air to escape, and cool air to enter, creating the perfect microclimate for your feet. This will work constantly over a long period, keeping you feeling cool and comfortable over long miles. A slightly rounder toe box ensures there is plenty of room for your toes to splay while the new racing tongue is fastened to both sides of the shoe which prevents the tongue from moving. The Fitlock system works alongside a traditional lacing system to provide a personalised fit on the inside and under the arch of your foot for a smoother and more secure experience. Synthetic overlays help protect your toes from rocks and uneven surfaces and finally, a new soft heel cap shapes perfectly around the heel and reduces pressure on the Achilles tendon.
CMEVA Midsole
The XTRM2 offers a high cushion-to-weight ratio with a lightweight, CMEVA midsole that delivers non-stop comfort and a plush underfoot feel designed to help each stride feel more comfortable than the last. The compression moulded EVA absorbs impact forces and creates a stable landing so you can run further for longer in comfort and protection ensuring the wear and tear placed on your joints are kept to a minimum. A rock plate also resides in the midsole to offer optimal protection against sharp rocks and sticks.
Superior Contact Outsole
Featuring a unique outsole, the XTRM2 utilises a Superior Contact rubber outsole that ensures ultimate control and traction whilst out on the trails. The outsole can form an extremely strong grip with a wide range of different terrains, guaranteeing complete underfoot traction. Naturally tough, the outsole will maintain its shape and definition over a long period. 6mm multi-directional lugs have been meticulously shaped and positioned to improve propulsion at the front, and braking at the rear. Measured spacing between the lugs prevents debris from sticking to the outsole, cuts through loose trails and remains super-durable, but also gives great grip in wet conditions.
