The Levante is the result of direct collaboration with La Sportiva's female athletes.
Working closely together, they selected every detail from the fit, lacing, and upper to the sole, creating a thoroughly researched, athlete-approved, long-distance running shoe. New XFlow™ super foam provides cushioning, reactivity, and stability while the upper is constructed to encase, support and protect without constricting the foot. The Trail Rocker™ encourages the athlete to strike a natural stance with a harmonious roll as the flex grooves ensure flexibility and agility even for the most demanding runners.
FEATURES
-
Set of structures for maximum support and stability: the knit gaiter surrounds the ankle, the wrapping system and the ergonomics of the heel comfortably secure the foot, preventing it from slipping around inside the shoe
-
Trail Rocker™ promotes a smooth and rolling heel-to-toe motion for an unimpeded stride
-
Flex grooves give the sole greater flexibility and agility
-
Xflow™ nitrogen infused supercritical foam with an ultra dampening and resilient energy-return effect has 15% more cushioning and 18.5% more rebound yet is 18% lighter compared to traditional expanded EVA
-
Bio-based Xflow™ midsole uses ethylene from sugar fermentation to substitute 30% of the traditional ethylene in the midsole
