Flight VECTIV

TrailRelease date 2021-01-26Global

Flight VECTIV is an early-generation VECTIV trail racer built for runners pursuing speed over long distances. Its rocker geometry connects landing to toe-off, while a 3D carbon-fiber plate limits lateral movement and pairs with high-rebound dual-density EVA for propulsion and stability. A Matryx-panel and engineered-knit upper pairs with bio-based Surface Control rubber for grip from dry ground to mud.

Show source notes

Release note: Goldwin official press supports a January 26, 2021 global launch, with initial Japanese official-online-store and selected-store availability.
Source note: Goldwin's exact men's NF02100 press block supports the worldwide launch, JP MSRP, 285 g per US 9 shoe, dual-density EVA, Surface Control and 3D carbon-fiber plate. Fleet Feet's exact NF0A4T3L product page supports 6 mm and the unchanged USD 199 regular price; Naturkompaniet's exact men's Flight VECTIV page supports 25/19 mm. These important adopted links all still render the exact model and values normally. Source quality is mixed because adopted drop, stack and US price rely on authorized retailers, not solely the official press.
