La Sportiva Prodigio Pro Shoe
If the original Prodigio represented La Sportiva's break into the world of higher cushion, lightweight distance trail shoes, then the Prodigio Pro is their modern trail racer. Designed to tackle any distance with speed and responsiveness, the Prodigio Pro inherits the same underfoot stack height and heel-toe drop as the original Prodigio but utilizes lighter, higher-performance materials. A TPU core is embedded in the supercritical nitrogen-infused EVA midsole to offer increased responsiveness and energy return. With more spring in your step from this new midsole, Sportiva recognized the need for greater security and traction on the trails, which led to several upgrades. First, the midsole foam has been raised around the sides of the foot, forming a cage for additional stability in uneven terrain. Second, the outsole has been redesigned with Sportiva's proprietary Frixion White rubber for maximum grip in any condition. Third, the upper gets a new power wire mesh, saving weight, and a secure lockdown from a sock-like midfoot fit. Finally, a knit ankle collar keeps debris from entering the shoe and offers a nice, secure fit around the ankle. Whether you want to run 100 miles or PR in a trail half-marathon, the Prodigio Pro is fast and comfortable in a great-looking lightweight package.
