La Sportiva Akyra

"A very enveloping and comfortable upper is used, built on 3 layers that offer the following characteristics from the inside to the outside: Comfort, thanks to the seamless construction; Flexibility and structure, thanks to the innovative MicroLite Skeleton™ applications that dynamically accompany the foot while running; Protection, thanks to the Flex-Guard™ structural applications in microfibre that give the shoe lightness and still provide a barrier against possible abrasions when you hit rocks and roots. Exceptional stability is provided by the TrailCage System™ technology, which lies between the two shank layers and gives the shoe structure and fit by integrating it with the lacing system. La Sportiva's R&D developed sole with the new shoe profile and FriXion XT compound with Impact Brake System and the exclusive Trail Rocker design, which supports the natural "heel-out-toe-in" of the foot during running. Cushioning, protection and comfort, 3 sides with perfect geometry: the origami that inspires the entire design of the footwear. With Akira, running is an art."
