La Sportiva Akasha II Running Shoe - Men´s

Why We Like The Akasha II Running Shoe

Grittier than its predecessor, the Akasha II goes harder, following us into longer distances and more technical terrain. The updated upper still gives us optimal airflow and flex but now with a beefier exoskeleton that brushes off overgrown singletrack and shields our toes and heels from bruisers when bounding over scree.

Details

• Rugged trail runner for chasing that triple-digit mileage
• Mesh upper provides flexibility and breathability
• Gusseted tongue stops trail debris from sneaking in
• 6mm drop encourages a natural gait cycle and midfoot strike
• Soft footbed gives an energizing boost of cush
• Responsive foam gives long-lasting shock absorption
• Sticky sole provides superior traction on wet and dry ground
• Runs small, so we recommend sizing up for ideal fit
• Item #LSPZ2EY
