La Sportiva Akasha II Shoe

The Akasha is back! Loved by many runners for its legendary comfort and do-it-all attitude, La Sportiva took it off the menu for a few seasons but brought it back better than ever with increased durability, protection, and breathability. The La Sportiva Akasha II is even more eager to chew up miles reliably and comfortably. The midsole’s lightweight dual-injection Memlex EVA minimizes shock when landing on choppy, rough, and rocky trails while the Cushion Platform provides a lively, spring-like feel with each step throughout the run. The Akasha’s outsole means business on all sorts of terrain with its 4.5mm lugs utilizing dual compound FriXion XT 2.0 for a perfect blend of traction and durability. Trail Rocker technology makes for a smoother heel-to-toe action. And like many La Sportiva mountain running shoes, the Akasha uses the Impact Brake System for better control on downhills. As for the top half, a highly breathable 3D airmesh upper conforms to any volume foot, allowing for a very accommodating fit. Dynamic ProTechTion Reinforcements give added durability to the breathable uppers. The La Sportiva Akasha II is the perfect shoe no matter the distance, terrain, or speed. There’s nothing it can’t handle!
