{"product_id":"vj-ultra-trail-runners","title":"VJ | Ultra 3 - Technical Long-Distance Trail Shoe","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n  When a \"quick trail loop\" turns into an all-day epic along the coast or a technical push through the valley's rootiest singletrack, you need a shoe that doesn't just survive the miles—it rewards them. The VJ Ultra 3 is the high-performance evolution of a fan favorite, designed for runners who want VJ’s \"Best Grip on the Planet\" without sacrificing the cushion needed for ultramarathon distances. The standout upgrade is the brand-new SuperFOAMance midsole: a nitrogen-infused, bouncy foam that absorbs impact and protects your joints during those long hours on the trail. Paired with a wider toe box for natural splay and a rockered profile for smooth transitions, the Ultra 3 turns jagged, unpredictable Atlantic terrain into a steady, confident path toward the finish line.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSuperFOAMance Midsole:\u003c\/b\u003e VJ's most advanced nitrogen-infused foam to date—engineered to be softer and bouncier, providing high-level energy return and impact protection for ultra-distance efforts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e100% Butyl-Rubber Outsole:\u003c\/b\u003e The gold standard in traction. 4mm lugs bite into slick coastal granite, muddy roots, and loose soil with a level of grip that remains unmatched in the trail world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFull-Length Rock Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e A high-tech shield that protects your feet from sharp rocks and roots while adding structural stability and reducing energy loss over long miles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFitlock Arch Support:\u003c\/b\u003e A specialized system that cradles and locks down the midfoot, protecting the arch from impact and ensuring your foot stays stable on uneven, technical ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWider Toe Box:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically shaped to allow for natural toe splay—a critical feature for maintaining comfort and preventing hotspots during the foot-swelling stages of a long-distance run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurable Woven Upper:\u003c\/b\u003e A lightweight, one-piece woven construction that balances high-level breathability for humid summer mornings with the rugged durability needed for abrasive backcountry trails.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Effort:\u003c\/b\u003e Ultra-distance racing, high-mileage mountain training, and technical peak bagging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Goal:\u003c\/b\u003e All-day comfort and \"no-slip\" confidence on the most challenging, technical terrain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Conditions:\u003c\/b\u003e Damp coastal trails, slippery roots, and humid summer efforts where grip and breathability are essential.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStack Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 37 mm \/ 29 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDrop:\u003c\/b\u003e 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 276 g \/ 9.7 oz (US Men's 8.5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOutsole:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Butyl-Rubber (4 mm lugs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMidsole:\u003c\/b\u003e Nitrogen-infused SuperFOAMance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFit:\u003c\/b\u003e Wider toe box \/ Fitlock arch support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VJ","offers":[{"title":"Navy \/ M06.0\/L07.5","offer_id":45419338989625,"sku":"210000010066","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy \/ M06.5\/L08.0","offer_id":45550025310265,"sku":"210000011172","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy \/ M07.0\/L08.5","offer_id":45419339022393,"sku":"210000010067","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ M07.5\/L09.0","offer_id":45550025277497,"sku":"210000011173","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy \/ M08.0\/L09.5","offer_id":45419339087929,"sku":"6438308033033","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ M08.5\/L10.0","offer_id":45419339055161,"sku":"210000010068","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy \/ M09.5\/L11.0","offer_id":45419339120697,"sku":"210000010070","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy \/ M10.0\/L11.5","offer_id":45419339153465,"sku":"210000010071","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy \/ M11.0\/L12.5","offer_id":45419339186233,"sku":"210000010072","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ M013","offer_id":45419339219001,"sku":"210000010073","price":249.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/3251\/2825\/files\/13055185_result.webp?v=1778010644","url":"https:\/\/3mile.ca\/products\/vj-ultra-trail-runners","provider":"3 Mile Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
