Vectiv Enduris II
The Vectiv Enduris II is the second max cushion expansion for the Vectiv trail running collection. The Enduris II uses the existing TPU Vectiv plate as well as the Enduris midsole and outsole. The upper pattern has been redesigned to address fit, mesh durability, and protection.
Inspiration
The driving factors behind the new Vectiv Enduris II was to improve fit along with the introduction of more brand proud materials to the upper, as well as, introduce an element of layered tech and visual durability.
Initial Exploration
The initial round of ideation sketches was for exploration into what this style could truly be.
• What visuals details will be called out?
• What materials can be used to speak to modernity?
• How to improve on the previous design?
Direction Refinement
The next round of refinement focused on three directions of design improvements and aesthetic highlights:
• Visual Protection
• Material Layering
• Color Blocking
Direction Finalization
The final design for the Vectiv Enduris II is a clear separation from the original design. Visual layering of the upper patterns that speak to the design being more durable and protective with an improved fit while continuing to focus on maximum underfoot comfort.
