The popular long-distance flagship model, the LA SPORTIVA "Akasha II", has evolved.
This updated model retains the high cushioning and running performance required for long-distance trail running, while further improving durability and fit. It is generously equipped with unique technologies such as the Dynamic Protection System, which flexibly follows the movement of the foot, and the Trail Rocker System, which supports natural foot movement. By revising the lacing system and side design, it provides even more secure hold and toughness even in harsh environments.
From long-distance races like ultra-trails to daily long rides, this is a reliable pair of shoes that maximizes a runner's potential.
High-volume design for long-distance use
Considering foot swelling and fatigue during long runs, a high-volume last with ample room for foot width and instep height is adopted. This ensures a comfortable fit with less pressure, even on demanding long trails.
Dynamic Protection System
The upper features a Dynamic Protection System that flexibly follows foot movements while maintaining the overall shape of the shoe. This suppresses twisting and lateral sway on trails, supporting stable running.
Cushion Platform Structure
The insole and midsole feature a Cushion Platform Structure that protects the foot from impact from rough terrain and strong landing shocks. This reduces fatigue and enables smooth foot movement over long distances.
FriXion® Red Outsole & Trail Rocker System
The outsole uses FriXion® Red, a high-quality compound that offers a balanced combination of high grip and abrasion resistance. Combined with the Trail Rocker System, which promotes natural weight transfer from the outer heel to the inner toe, it achieves efficient and propulsive running even on challenging, undulating terrain.
