La Sportiva Mountain Running: Prodigy, Levant and Bushido III
La Sportiva Mountain Running –
La Sportiva
announces the introduction of two new models of its Mountain Running shoes, Prodigio and Levante, and the update of the Bushido III, one of its most iconic products and prized by sky-runners for ultra-distances.
Prodigy and Levante are particularly notable for incorporating XFlow foam, a state-of-the-art supercritical EVA used in the midsoles to provide excellent cushioning, a smooth ride, and excellent springback during thrust. This technological innovation is designed to meet the needs of runners seeking maximum fluidity and agility on mountain trails.
La Sportiva’s Prodigio model is designed to offer comfort and versatility, ideal for runners who tackle mixed “road-to-trail” trails. Featuring a wide toe box and breathable upper, it ensures comfort even after hours of running. Stability is ensured by the Wrapping System and heel ergonomics, while the rocker geometry promotes a smooth and progressive stride on various types of terrain. With 3.5-mm gussets, Prodigio is a multi-purpose choice, suitable for both paved sections and challenging technical trails, making it an indispensable ally for mountain running enthusiasts.
La Sportiva’s Levante was born out of the collaboration between the R&D department and the team’s female athletes, creating an ultra-distance shoe that specifically addresses the needs of the female foot. This model combines comfort, lightness and support, the result of direct experience and the technical demands of runners. Tobias Gramajo, Product Manager Mountain Running & Hiking at La Sportiva, emphasizes the company’s pride in introducing innovations that have revolutionized the Mountain Running collection, now capable of meeting a wide range of runners’ needs.
La Sportiva celebrates 10 years of the iconic Bushido model with the launch of the new Bushido III, which retains the renowned comfort, precise fit and stability, but gets a makeover with updated graphics. This latest version of the Bushido is lighter and more breathable and introduces a “wide-fit” variant designed to offer a more generous fit, ideal for feet with wide soles. This innovation expands the company’s product catalog, thus meeting the diverse needs of runners in terms of comfort and performance.
