A shoe designed to offer maximum comfort and performance thanks to a “wrap-around” construction that combines technology and design.
September 2024
The distinctive feature of this sneaker-boot is the Wrap Tech technology, perfect for providing extreme lightness without sacrificing the grip and protection features offered by Vibram soles. Thanks to the innovative design, the sole continues on the upper, limiting the production of waste and allowing greater protection at the sides of the shoe. The outsole then becomes the star of the shoe, both in terms of performance and functionality and as a design element that defines an unconventional style. The breathable hemp fiber upper meets Vibram’s best technologies in the outsole, which incorporates Vibram’s cutting-edge Litebase technology, designed to dramatically decrease tread weight by about 30 percent through a 50 percent reduction in rubber bottom, while maintaining the same tread block layout and shape. Together with the Vibram Megagrip compound, which offers unparalleled grip properties on dry, wet and uneven terrain.
