La Sportiva Akasha II Men's

Delivering the perfect blend of cushion, responsiveness and outsole traction, the Akasha II is the preferred shoe for trail runners seeking technical terrain or high mileage outings. In addition to aesthetic modifications, the 2022 updates of the Akasha II focus on increased durability, protection and breathability.

Features

• Highly breathable 3D AirMesh upper is very accommodating and snugs up to any volume foot
• Dynamic ProTechTion™ HF overlays on the forefoot provide lightweight, flexible protection
• Dual-injection MEMlex EVA reduces shock as you run over rocky, tough terrain, while the cushion platform assures a springy feel underfoot mile after mile
• FriXion® XT outsole and trail rocker not only provide traction but also promote a smooth and rolling heel-to-toe motion for an unimpeded stride
• STB stabilization technology on both sides of the midsole reduces torsion and increases stability for precise control on any terrain
