The Val di Fiemme company, leader in the production of footwear and technical clothing for mountain sports, officially presents two new Mountain Running® models, Prodigio and Levante, and introduces Bushido III, an update of one of the company’s most iconic products and one of the most loved by sky-runners on ultra-distances. Prodigio and Levante introduce to the market the use of XFlow® foam, a latest-generation supercritical EVA present in the midsole of the two models, designed and developed to guarantee maximum cushioning, fluidity during the running phase and elastic return during thrust. A patent that raises the bar for ultra-distance running performance, created to meet the needs of runners seeking maximum fluidity and agility on mountain trails.
La Sportiva also expands its product catalogue by introducing a re-edit of Bushido, 10 years after the first model was born. Bushido III comes with a new look, without neglecting the renowned comfort, precision fit and stability during movement. The new version is lighter and more breathable and also introduces the ‘wide-fit’ variant, which offers a more generous fit for feet with wide soles.
The Italian company, a benchmark for the production and marketing of high-tech adhesives and fabrics, also stands out for its high level of management.
