‘Flora Alpina,’ the latest evolution in The North Face’s Summit Series, draws inspiration from high-altitude alpine flowers to deliver elite-level performance for trail runners. Designed for athletes who push through the most challenging terrains and ultra marathons, the collection embodies adaptation and endurance with cutting-edge gear refined through years of testing.

Anchoring the Flora Alpina drop is the ‘Summit VECTIV™ Pro 3,’ a podium-proven shoe featuring dual-stacked carbon fiber plates and ultralight nitrogen-infused DREAM foam for explosive propulsion and comfort. It’s paired with the ‘Summit Superior FUTURELIGHT™ Jacket’ — a fully waterproof, breathable, 220-gram shell engineered with 360° reflectivity — and the ‘Summit Run Vest 10L,’ purpose-built for bounce-free utility during long distances.

From dusk to dawn, this collection supports runners tackling nature’s extremes with gear that mirrors the resilience and ingenuity of flora that thrive in high-alpine habitats.
