Description
The La Sportiva Akasha II Men's is a cushioned trail running shoe for technical ground and big mileage. The slip-on upper has plenty of internal room and no pressure points, so your feet stay comfortable deep into a long day. Under that sits a dual-compound FriXion Red outsole for grip, and a rocker shape that keeps your stride rolling when the legs get tired.
