The VEJA x Cesar Villalba Condor 3 Off-Road is the result of VEJA’s ongoing research into performance footwear and the designer’s interest in movement and outdoor practice. Developed from the Condor 3 platform, this model is adapted for both paved routes and more irregular natural terrain. Its ripstop upper provides resistance against abrasion, while the widened lacing cage and reduced number of eyelets make the fit easier and reduce pressure points during longer runs.
The shoe features a non-expanded E.V.A. stability plate that increases rigidity and responsiveness, replacing the original L-FOAM cushion while maintaining the characteristic comfort of the Condor line. The outsole is equipped with 4 mm lugs, positioned to offer traction on different surfaces, especially when transitioning from road to off-road paths. Light in weight and structured for stability, the Condor 3 Off-Road brings together materials such as sugar cane–based E.V.A., Amazonian rubber, recycled polyester, and T.P.U. components.
Overall, the model is designed to support a neutral stride and to adapt to varied environments, reflecting both VEJA’s technical development and Cesar Villalba’s approach to sport and design.
