The La Sportiva Bushido III, a remake of the iconic trail running shoe dedicated to the art of skyrunning: grippy and fierce, it is designed to guarantee perfect stability on all types of off-road terrain.
Breathable Air Mesh Upper
The upper of the Bushido III has been constructed from a breathable mesh that encases each foot in breathable comfort. The mesh allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air while simultaneously forcing out hot muggy air. TPU and thermoplastic film reinforcements add durability throughout alongside a recycled abrasion-resistant mesh lining for added breathability and long-lasting wear. The Interior has a slip-on construction which hugs the foot like a sock without constricting it or applying stress to pressure points. This highly abrasion-resistant upper will prevent any damage from being caused, which will allow you to push yourself harder, safe in the knowledge that you won't cause damage to the shoes. The mesh also boasts lateral side panels in Net-Mesh for maximum ventilation and climate control. Additionally, the upper features an updated protective TPU toe cap, using recycled materials, that protects the front of the foot against trail hazards such as rocks and roots while side mesh panels help to enhance ventilation. Lastly, a traditional lacing system locks the midfoot and offers a customisable and secure fit. An added passage at the toe of the lacing gives a greater adaption of volumes and an overall comfortable, wide fit is designed perfectly for use over long distances.
Compressed EVA MidsoleA compressed EVA midsole offers an extremely lightweight and supportive feel that is also very flexible so that you can move freely without being held back. The foam provides superior cushioning and the high-density EVA works as an Integrated Rock-Shield for increased stability and protection on the trail. An Ortholite Hybrid Mountain Running footbed provides excellent moisture management thanks to the open cell structure. This footbed is treated with anti-microbial agents keeping you feeling fresher for longer, it is also washable for a more hygienic shoe.
FriXion Red OutsoleThe FriXion Red outsole provides plenty of grip and traction on multiple surfaces. This will guarantee that you have a supreme hold on uneven ground, as the outsole can create a strong link between the shoe and the ground. The rubber is also extremely durable, improving the longevity and functionality of the outsole. The dual mix compound delivers a perfect combination of grip, long-lasting wear and shock absorption. An aggressive lug design will dig into the wet ground, anchoring the feet in place and giving you more confidence when the ground becomes more uncertain. The sole also includes La Sportiva's Impact Brake System which has been applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill.
