La Sportiva Bushido

La Sportiva Bushido is one of the Italian brand's best-selling shoes and has more than earned its reputation. It is a technical racing shoe that is widely used in the world of skyrunning.

Its main qualities are its lightness, excellent grip and good stability on all types of terrain, thanks to the "STB Control" construction, a new concept in the world of trail running shoes.

They have incorporated a TPU structure on the sides of the shoe that reaches up to the midsole to wrap the foot very effectively.

The result is a more comfortable fit and greater stability thanks to the upper and midsole working together in a perfect union.

It is a shoe that has taken great care with weight. For example they have not added stabilization pieces in the outsole. The double compound sole has staggered contact points. The rounded shape of the outer lugs, which rise up on the sides to the midsole, creates a permanent contact with the ground, thus maintaining stability in case of extreme twisting of the foot. This allows the user to run safely, even on technical terrain or in the presence of roots, stones and branches.

Maximum support and a tight midfoot last do not compromise the freedom of movement of the toes. The result is a shoe in the purest La Sportiva style, which meets the innovative solutions demanded by the most demanding runners.
