VJ Ultra 3 – Maximum cushioning for long and demanding trail rides

The VJ Ultra 3 is VJ's most cushioned trail shoe yet , designed for long distances, ultras and technical terrain where comfort, protection and efficient running are essential. This is a clear upgrade from the Ultra 2 - softer, bouncier and even more economical to run.

SuperFOAMance™ – soft, bouncy and extremely durable

The Ultra 3 is built with VJ's latest SuperFOAMance™ midsole , a nitrogen-infused, supercritical foam that delivers:

Extreme cushioning without feeling spongy

High energy return for long strides

Lower weight and better response than traditional EVA

Very high wear resistance – retains properties over time

Perfect for ultra-runs and long training sessions where your feet need both comfort and efficient propulsion.

Rocked midsole – softer steps & better flow

The updated geometry with more rocker in the midsole provides:

Smoother transition from heel to toe

Less strain on calves and feet

A natural flow that helps you keep the pace even when you get tired

Full-length rock plate – protection and stability

Between the midsole and outsole sits a full-length rock plate that:

Protects feet from sharp rocks and roots

Increases torsional rigidity

Reduces energy leakage in technical terrain

The result is a stable and safe shoe even on long and technical distances.

Superior Contact – reliable grip in all directions

The outsole is VJ's classic Superior Contact in their own rubber compound, known for:

Very good grip on wet and dry surfaces

Stability in technical terrain

Safe running downhill and sideways

With a tread depth of 4.5 mm, the Ultra 3 works just as well on rough trails as in a mountain environment.

Multizone mesh & Fitlock™ – comfort with control

The upper is a one-piece multizone engineered mesh that is:

Easy

Very breathable

Adjustable around the foot

The soft heel with anti-slip properties prevents your foot from slipping, even during long sessions.

Together with VJ's Fitlock™ system you get:

Stable lockdown over the midfoot

Arch protection

Secure fit without pressure points
