La Sportiva Akyra Gore-Tex Shoe: an origami model with perfect geometry
Running becomes an art with the La Sportiva Akyra GTX shoe for men. Inspired by the ancient art of origami, the model features 3 sides of perfect geometry: cushioning, protection, and comfort. An ideal model to accompany you during your long-distance trail sessions.
The multidirectional lugs on the outsole feature the Frixion XT system and the Impact Brake System, providing grip on ascents and braking on descents. The Trail Rocker technology adds a final touch to promote a natural foot strike during the run.
The La Sportiva Akyra Gore-Tex shoe doubles down on ingenuity to win all battles against technical terrains. Stamped Stabilizer, its midsole is as rigid as it is cushioned to prevent twists while protecting you from impact aggressions.
The Gore-Tex coating ensures perfect protection against rain, mud, and snow thanks to its waterproofing. Its upper features a breathable mesh to allow air to circulate well throughout your trail sessions. Its Micro Lite Skeleton provides the touch of flexibility that makes all the difference. The dream for a comfortably wrapped foot free from any sensation of pressure.
Precision, finesse, and geometry are the key words of the ancient technique of origami. The design of this shoe is inspired by it in small touches to bring a breath of originality to the world of trail shoes.
