The UltraRange VR3 Will Get You There-with Purposeful Materials Meet the UltraRange VR3, an adventure-inspired favorite that has been re-thought, re-engineered, and rebuilt with sustainability in mind.
This includes a lightweight construction, a molded midsole, a rubber outsole, and a breathable upper.
The UltraRange VR3 is the manifestation of an idea: that it is not where we are going, but how we get there.
Our team has set ambitious sustainability goals.
Big or small, all of our efforts add up to positive change.
