The North Face VECTIV Sky 2 Review

The North Face VECTIV Sky 2 is a trail racing shoe built for speed over technical terrain.

It’s part of The North Face’s Summit Series, their premium racing lineup, and is ideal for distances up to a marathon.

I created the Trail & Kale platform as a way to provide real, unfiltered truth about running shoes, outdoor gear, and more. As a professional running shoe reviewer with years of training and racing experience, from marathons to ultramarathons, every piece of content you’ll find here, my blog (https://www.trailandkale.com/), and my Instagram feed (  / trailandkale  ) is grounded in countless miles of honest testing. No hype, no fluff — just genuine insights you can trust. Here’s more about my review process: https://www.trailandkale.com/our-revi... I don’t subscribe to influencer culture, in fact I actually kind of despise the fakeness of it all. I like to think that the influence I have on purchasing decisions, is merely a byproduct of the experience and knowledge that I bring to my reviews. My reviews are rooted in experience, practical testing (not poking shoes or cutting them up in a lab), backed by a true passion for the sport and a relentless commitment to being authentic with my readers and YouTube subscribers. If I say a shoe performs well, it’s because I’ve put them through hell on the trails, or clocked countless miles running in them, in the way they were designed to be run in. When I list the best gear in a roundup, it’s because I’ve tested it rigorously and it outperforms the competition currently available. ⚡️ What You’ll Find Here and on my blog (https://www.trailandkale.com/): Authentic Running Shoe Reviews: Every pair of shoes gets real miles — the good, the bad, and the ugly. I go in-depth on fit, performance, durability, and all those little details that matter to you. Running Gear Reviews: From apparel to accessories, I provide honest feedback on gear that works and what doesn’t. Ranked Roundups for Every Need: My ‘Top 5’ lists cut through the noise, showcasing the best shoes in each category — whether it’s all mountain trail shoes, carbon plated road racers, or daily trainers. Outdoor Gear & Lifestyle Reviews: I explore gadgets and tech that fit the active outdoor lifestyle, whether enhancing performance or making everyday life a bit more adventurous. Opinion Articles and Stories: I love jumping into real journalistic writing so that I can share my thought leadership when it comes to running gear. I’m a thinker, so this blog is an outlet for that too.
