Thus, this release presents an evolution in both technical and aesthetic level of the shoe. Then, the hallmarks to highlight will be: lightness, great grip, aggressive design, and perfect stability to adapt to all types of terrain, when we talk about competing in Skyrunning events.

La Sportiva Bushido 2, main features

Lighter and more comfortable, they guarantee maximum performance for competitions in mountain terrain. We are talking about a much more flexible model with a superior fit, which translates into permanent comfort while running. Next, we will comment on the main features of this new release from the Italian company.

When talking about stability, the argument in favor of the new Bushido 2 is that its midsole brings with it the combination of the TPU skeleton and the STB Control system, through which it manages to wrap the midfoot area, offering more support, also contributing to the athlete to enjoy a much more comfortable and comfortable fit in each stride.

This technical resource of the Italian house also favors that these La Sportiva Bushido 2 lighten the weight of the model, since all those inserts to help stabilize the tread that are located in the medial area of the shoe are removed.

The fact that La Sportiva 's designers have chosen to incorporate new materials in the upper means that this new release increases its flexibility, and especially its comfort. Thus, we can assure that we are facing a shoe for mountain running more dynamic than its predecessor.

The interior of these Bushido 2 has also been renewed compared to its previous version, La Sportiva Bushido, so that the shoe fits like a glove, including a new tongue. And to add comfort, these La Sportiva Bushido 2 retain that Ortholite insole, 4 millimeters. They come to reinforce cushioning and comfort while running, and of course, increase durability.

The outsole incorporates the red Frixion compound, which has been updated, so that you will have no problems adapting to different terrains. In this way, the model has a new gradual support angle which helps to maintain firmness and stability, even on occasions of extreme torsion.

All this is intended to obtain maximum support in the midfoot and add a greater range of freedom of movement, as well as increasing comfort in the front area of the shoe.
