Inspired by the Bushido II aesthetic with external Skelethon TPU and geometric aesthetics, the La Sportiva Women's Akasha II Trail Running Shoes provide excellent cushioning thanks to the Cushion Platform ™ footbed insert and the large internal volumes as well as the soft, breathable and enveloping upper with Slip-on construction that avoids compression points during the race. The Dynamic ProTechTion ™ active front reinforcements provide protection and structure following the movement of the foot dynamically and without constriction. The gripping, dual compound FriXion® Red sole is equipped with the exclusive Trail Rocker ™ solution capable of promoting the natural external heel - internal toe movement of the foot during running. Ortholite® Hybrid laces and footbed are also made from recycled materials.
