La Sportiva Akasha Women's Trail Running Shoes - SS16
The La Sportiva Akasha offers a neutral, highly cushioned shoe with great shock absorption designed for long distance running with challenging terrains.
The Akasha offers soft slip-on uppers, with a tight fit, great breathability and a cushion platform to provide the maximum comfort for the wearer. With the versatile sole they are ideal for all types of terrain such as grass, stone, moss and mud and great for running in either high humidity or on dry ground.
Upper
The upper sole and the heel lining of the Akasha provides airmesh nylon fabric woven into a breathable mesh pattern that gives great durability. With PU leather at the rear, it provides a lightweight feel, good durability and ability to absorb impacts. Dynamic ProTechTion™ gives protection at the toe and structure following the foot movement in a dynamic way without constriction.
Midsole
The midsole has dual-injection shock absorbing MEMlex EVA/cushion platform. MEMlex Eva is a compression moulded midsole of 80% EVA and 20% SBR which provides a firm, cushioned midsole that is extremely lightweight and gives good elasticity. EVA injected midsoles reduce the "squash" effect of the EVA overtime, allowing the product to maintain the same characteristics and high performance for its entire duration.
Outsole
The Akasha sole has the FriXion XT dual density with the Trial Rocker™ System. FriXion® is designed to give good grip, durability and shock absorption on all types of terrains. The Trial Rocker™ outsole technology promotes a rolling heel-to-toe motion for smooth performance on the trial. The innovative system of impact brake system is applied to the sole to absorb the negative ground impact and improve grip when running downhill. The unique position of the lugs allow as many of them to come in contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.
