Materials
Lightweight breathable mesh: Technical mesh designed for maximum ventilation and minimum weight. This fabric uses an open weave structure that allows air to flow freely and instantly dissipate body heat. It is ideal for intense sports activities where it prevents overheating and keeps the body dry.

Cushioned Midsole: A cushioned midsole is an important part of running shoes, providing the wearer with greater comfort and shock absorption. The midsole, usually made of various foam materials, acts as a buffer between the foot and the ground. Recent advancements have led to the development of midsoles that not only provide excellent cushioning, but also contribute to overall energy return, thus aiding in a more efficient stride.
Super critical foam: It represents a technological revolution in cushioning, created by the process of saturating foam (often PEBA or EVA) with nitrogen or CO₂ at high pressure and temperature. This process creates a unique cellular structure in the material that makes the midsole incredibly lightweight, extremely soft, yet highly reactive. Unlike conventional foams, it offers significantly higher energy return and resistance to material fatigue. It's a key component of state-of-the-art "super shoes" that help runners perform at their peak and recover faster.
Rubber: The rubber sole is a traditional and highly reliable element in the construction of footwear, valued especially for its extreme mechanical resistance and grip. This contact layer is made of natural or synthetic rubber, which is characterized by its high density and elasticity. Due to its physical properties, it provides excellent traction on a wide range of surfaces, from smooth asphalt to unpaved terrain. In addition, the rubber is naturally waterproof and resistant to temperature fluctuations, ensuring stability and a secure stride in a variety of climatic conditions.
Vibram®: The absolute world leader in sole technology with an emphasis on maximum traction and safety. These premium soles are the result of precision engineering that combines innovative rubber compounds with scientifically designed treads. Whether it's extreme climbing, trail running or urban outdoor, Vibram® soles provide uncompromising stability on wet and dry surfaces and excel at exceptional resistance to mechanical wear.
Details
The popular outdoor brand with American roots was founded in 1968 in California. It is named after the coldest and most inaccessible face of Half Dome Mountain in Yosemite National Park, which is also depicted in the brand's logo. And it has helped many an adventurer scale the heights of the Himalayas.
The story began in sunny, warm San Francisco. In 1966, Douglas Tompkins and Susie Tompkins, a married couple of hiking enthusiasts, decided to open a climbing gear store. Their store, The North Face, began to gain popularity and two years later they moved across San Francisco Bay to Berkeley. There they began designing and manufacturing their own brand of technical climbing clothing and equipment.
In the early 1980s, The North Face also explored the world of skiing and included extreme-condition skiwear in its lineup. If you have any idea what the 1980s were like, you can probably imagine the colors these clothes shone in. Pastels, neons, pastels and more neons. If you put one and one together, you can definitely figure out where the colourful ski jackets that are still very popular across the board today came from. Through diligent development and discovery, eventually the TNF brand lacked nothing short of the essentials, becoming the only supplier in the US to offer comprehensive, high-quality gear for extreme conditions.
More than 50 years later, The North Face has risen to the pinnacle of outdoor gear, becoming a recognized brand among climbers, skiers, snowboarders and many other athletes. Thanks to collaborations with streetwear and fashion brands such as Vans, Supreme, Gucci and Palace, TNF has been embraced by fashion fans around the world, including rappers such as Redman, Travis Scott, Method Man and Drake.
The North Face is not absent from Footshop either. Here you'll find T-shirts, hoodies, windbreakers, iconic puffer jackets, as well as winter jackets and your favourite duffle bags, with which you'll never stop exploring and experiencing new adventures.
