The North Face x IKB Summit Vectiv Pro 2 Trail Hiking Shoe NEW02309-KW

The North Face x IKB Summit Vectiv Pro 2 — Where Mountain Performance Meets Collaborative Vision

The North Face Summit Vectiv Pro 2 in the IKB collaboration edition is the meeting point of two uncompromising perspectives on performance footwear. Built on The North Face’s most advanced trail and mountain running platform, the Vectiv Pro 2 delivers the carbon fiber propulsion, aggressive grip, and lightweight protection demanded by elite mountain athletes. The IKB collaboration brings a distinct design sensibility to that technical foundation — a shoe that carries its performance credentials with the kind of considered aesthetic that makes it as compelling off the mountain as on it. Style NEW02309-KW is the result: a trail and hiking shoe built without compromise.

Design Heritage

The Vectiv platform represents The North Face’s most serious commitment to mountain running and hiking performance — a technology system built around a carbon fiber plate that provides propulsive energy return on technical terrain. The Pro 2 is the second generation of the Summit series’ most capable expression, refining the original’s construction with improved materials, updated geometry, and enhanced protection for the most demanding mountain environments. The IKB collaboration adds a co-signed design language that honors the shoe’s technical purpose while giving it a visual identity that stands apart from the standard lineup.

Sizing Guide

The North Face Summit Vectiv Pro 2 is engineered for a performance fit — snug through the midfoot with adequate toe box room for downhill terrain. Most athletes find their standard size comfortable; those with wider feet may prefer to size up half a size. For technical mountain use, a secure fit with minimal heel slip is essential. Refer to the size chart for precise foot length measurements before ordering.

Why the Summit Vectiv Pro 2 x IKB?

The Summit Vectiv Pro 2 was already one of the most technically capable mountain shoes on the market before the IKB collaboration arrived. The carbon fiber plate propels you up technical ascents; the Vibram® Megagrip keeps you honest on wet rock and loose scree; and the lightweight construction ensures the shoe never becomes the limiting factor on long mountain days. The IKB collaboration adds a design dimension that makes the shoe worth seeking out even if you never leave the city — but it was built for those who do. Go further. Go higher. The Vectiv Pro 2 was made for exactly that.
