MAXx 2 Trail Runners

The VJ MAXx2 is a trail runner built for speed, cushion, and versatility across varied terrain. Designed with long distances and technical trails in mind, this shoe balances plush comfort with explosive responsiveness—making it a go-to for trail, ultra, and sky runners alike.

At its core is the SuperFOAMance midsole, a nitrogen-infused, supercritical foam that’s lighter, bouncier, and more durable than traditional EVA. The result: extreme cushioning and energy return that powers every stride without weighing you down. A full-length rock plate protects against sharp rocks and roots while adding torsional stiffness and efficiency over technical ground.

Underfoot, the Superior Contact outsole, made with VJ’s proprietary butyl rubber, grips relentlessly in all conditions. The one-piece knitted upper is lightweight, breathable, and durable, shaped to the natural contours of the foot. Paired with VJ’s Fitlock system, your arch stays secure, stable, and cushioned—mile after demanding mile.
