DESCRIPTION
Bushido II GTX is the GORE-TEX invisible fit membrane version of the classic Bushido Mountain Running model. Designed for skyrace competitions and winter use, it’s super lightweight, grippy, aggressive, and engineered to guarantee perfect stability on all types of off-road terrain. Thanks to the STB Control construction, the TPU skeleton positioned laterally on the upper extends down to wrap around the midsole on the medial side, stabilizing the shoe. This solution provides a more snug fit and greater overall stability through the synergistic work of upper and midsole, while also reducing weight by eliminating heavy stabilizer inserts in the central part of the shoe. The dual-compound FriXion Red sole features differentiated contact surfaces: the rounded shape of the outer lugs that rise laterally to touch the midsole creates a gradual contact angle with the ground, maintaining stability even in cases of extreme foot torsion. This allows you to run safely even on the most technical terrain with roots, rocks, and branches. Maximum support and wrap on the medial part of the foot, freedom of movement and comfort in the toe box. The result is a shoe that in pure La Sportiva style offers new solutions to the demands of the most discerning runners, rewriting the rules of the game with a construction never seen before in trail running footwear.
