A new ground.
Vektor is a low-mountain midcut built on a 6 mm drop last. The ripstop upper is recycled yarn from a single Portugal mill, bonded (not stitched) to a TPU heel counter that flexes back with every stride. The Vibram® Litebase outsole sheds 140 g on the prior shape without losing grip on wet stone.

What changed since Vektor 03.
Same last, same midsole geometry. New upper, new counter, new outsole. The brief was simple: lose weight, keep the ride, earn the ground.
Milled
The upper is a single-piece recycled ripstop, sourced from the same Porto mill since Volume 02. No stitched seams on the medial side — bonded, taped, then heat-set.
Counter
A 3D-printed TPU heel counter replaces a sewn one. It flexes with the foot’s stance phase and recovers at toe-off, holding the back of the foot without pressure points.
Stack
A 19 mm / 13 mm platform of high-rebound Supercritical EVA, with a Vibram® Litebase outsole that drops mass without dropping grip on wet stone or dry scree.
Footprint
Made on the Madrid last — a D-width, low instep, roomy toe-box. The 6 mm drop is the same as Volume 03; the rocker geometry is shorter and quicker.
