The signature VEJA “V” is emblazoned on both iterations of the shoes, and the specs between them (apart from the weight) are very similar. However the Condor 2 has ditched the literal resemblance of buoyant bird bones in place of a sleek smooth look and a midsole that is a whopping 15g lighter, and is still just as responsive. The support is actually moulded in a design to mimic the porous bones of the bird of flight’s namesake. In the first iteration of the Condor, the midsole is derived from a blend of banana oil, natural rubber, sugar cane and other bio-based materials. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VEJA CONDOR AND CONDOR 2?Ĭomparing them side by side, there are a few aesthetic differences. This would be a great shoe to have in your regular rotation of running shoes or studio-based training. The excellent grip of the outsole and responsive properties of the shoe make it a perfect fit for a sweet spot in 5-10km runs. This makes it a great choice for road running, dirt road paths, and training sessions.ĭuring my wear test, I found Condor 2 really worked its magic during 5-10km distances.
The shoe actually feels very stable, without the inflexibility of a strictly “stability” style shoe. Like the original Condor, the rubber outsole and trademarked L-Foam in the midsole offers a neutral ride that is pretty unique to VEJA. I found it to be supportive and responsive during the training sessions and middle distance runs I put it through.
The upper is made entirely of Alveomesh (100% recycled bottles), and this weave keeps feet secure in the shoe without feeling restrictive, and offers a surprising degree of breathability despite its plastic makeup. The Condor 2 is an ideal training partner, as the fully redesigned sole and flex grooves provide support, durability and all the technical features you’d expect from a performance shoe. The last thing a runner needs is for their kit to weigh them down, and VEJA recognises that in the Condor 2. This would be a significant change for almost any product, but this difference is especially noticeable when on-feet and your legs are responsible for putting in the work. At 301g, it is still substantial for a running shoe, but it's practically featherweight compared to the original VEJA Condor’s 315g. VEJA put their best foot forward with the Condor 2, weaving customer feedback of the first iteration of the Condor and their ever-improving product innovation into a shoe that is suitable for training, long runs up, leisure runs, and recovery sessions.Ĭompared to its predecessor, the Condor 2 is nearly 15g lighter. The fabric can be brushed with cold water and soap, please avoid to wash them in the machine.WHAT ACTIVITIES IS THE VEJA CONDOR 2 GOOD FOR?
