La Sportiva Bushido II GTX

Version made from GORE-TEX invisible fit - Membrane of the classic mountain running model Bushido II. This ultra-lightweight, grippy, and aggressive shoe was designed for the Skyraces world as well as for use in winter months, ensuring perfect traction in any off-road terrain. Thanks to the STB Control construction, the TPU structure placed on the side of the upper extends downwards and wraps around the midsole in the central area, stabilizing the shoe. This solution allows for a closer fit and better overall stability through the synergistic work of the upper and midsole. Additionally, the weight has been reduced as no heavy stabilizer inserts are needed in the midfoot area. The dual FriXion Red compound features differentiated contact surfaces: the rounded shape of the external lugs, which extend laterally to the midsole, creates a progressive contact angle with the terrain and maintains stability even when the foot is turned outward. Thus, this shoe allows for safe running on highly technical terrain with roots, rocks, and branches. Maximum support and wrapping in the midfoot area, freedom of movement, and comfort at the toe. The result is a shoe in pure La Sportiva style that offers new solutions to meet the needs of more demanding runners. The rules are being rewritten with a construction that is an absolute novelty among trail running shoes.
