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.

Why You'll Love It
  • Roomy, soft upper that wraps the foot without squeezing.
  • Cushion Platform insert adds comfort for long hours.
  • Front reinforcement protects toes and moves with the foot.
  • Rocker shape helps a smooth heel to toe roll.
  • Footbed and laces use recycled materials.

Perfect For
  • Ultra runners and high-mileage trail days.
  • Technical, rocky or rooty terrain where you want protection.
  • Runners who like a roomy fit and a cushioned ride.

Less suited to: Fast, short-distance racing where you want a lighter, lower shoe. For that, look at trail running shoes.

Why We Stock It

The Akasha is La Sportiva's long-haul trail shoe, and it fills the gap between our lighter racers and the heavier-duty options. It suits runners who want grip and protection for rough tracks without giving up comfort over hours.
