Trail Shoes

State of the art technology and aesthetics in the world of mountain running shoes.

Bushido II is the competition shoe dedicated to the world of skyraces: super light, extra grip,
aggressive, the shoe is designed to ensure perfect stability and support on all types of
off-road terrain. Thanks to the STB Control construction, the TPU skeleton placed laterally
on the uppers, reaches down to wrap the midsole in the medial part, stabilizing the shoe. This
solution allows to obtain a snug fit and greater overall stability thanks to the synergistic work
of uppers and midsole, as well as the reduced weight of the product, avoiding the insertion of
heavy stabilizers in the central part of the shoe.

The FriXion Red double compound sole has different support surfaces: the rounded shape of
the external lugs that rise sideways to touch the midsole, creates a gradual support angle with
the ground, maintaining stability even in extreme foot torsion. This allows you to run safely even
on more technical terrain in the presence of roots, stones and branches. Maximum support on
the medial part of the foot, freedom of movement and comfort at the toe. The result is a shoe that,
in pure La Sportiva style, offers new solutions to meet the needs of the most demanding runners,
rewriting the rules of the game with a totally new construction never seen before in trail running shoes.

Bushido II: the new path for trail runners.

Comparisons to the Bushido:

The Bushido and the Bushido II are more similar than different.

• Same weight
• Same narrow last
• Same low-volume fit
• Same outsole rubber & pattern, the Dual-Density FriXion XT V-Groove with Impact Brake System
• Same tongue
• Same stack height & drop

The Bushido II retains all of it's winning features as the first-generation, but with some nice tweaks.

Changes to the Bushido II are relatively minor. But significant enough to warrant a second-generation designation. The biggest difference is the EVA midsole being more responsive and springier due to the inclusion of proprietary LaSpEVA in addition to the holdover compression molded MEMIex.

The exterior arch is covered in a more durable material where previously this was one of the first blow-out points. The upper is made of a more breathable mesh fabric. The toe-guard is redesigned. The rubber (not synthetic leather) has been extended out over the toebax. The small strip of synthetic leather on the lateral perimeter of the toebox has been removed to avoid some complaints about pinching.
