LA SPORTIVA Akyra trail running shoes

It uses a tight fitting upper, structured in 3 layers that provides, from the inside out: comfort, thanks to the seamless construction, flexibility and structure thanks to the innovative MicroLite Skeleton™ application that follows the movement of the foot in a dynamic way while running, protection thanks to the Flex-Guard™ structural applications in microfibre that a lightweight boot but at the same time provide protection against possible abrasions running between rocks and roots. The exceptional stability is provided by the TrailCage System™ technology that is placed between the two layers of the uppers and provides structure and a snug fit integrating with the lacing system. The outsole developed by the La Sportiva R & D department uses the FriXion XT tread with Impact Brake System and the exclusive design with Trail Rocker technology that promotes natural outer heel, inner toe support of the foot when running. Shock absorption, protection and comfort, 3 sides of a perfect geometry: the origami, which inspired the overall shoe design. With Akyra racing is an art.

Both models are available in men and women version and differs for the materials’ densities. - Breathable for a cooler foot. - The unique open cell structure creates a moisture management system. - Long term cushioning: insole will retain over 95% of its thickness over time and won’t flatten out. - Anti-microbial agents and washable properties for a more igienic shoe. High Volume: - Comfortable shoe, ideal for training and long distance running. - The innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill. - Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption. Frixion: - The La Sportiva FriXion® compound is the result of extensive R&D aimed at creating outsoles with parameters of grip and durability that respond to all types of use and terrain. - The Frixion range uses 5 custom formulated compounds from mountain running to climbing shoes.
