Levante
The Levante is the result of direct collaboration with La Sportiva's female athletes. Working closely together, they selected every detail from the fit, lacing, and upper to the sole, creating a thoroughly researched, athlete-approved, long-distance running shoe. New XFlow™ super foam provides cushioning, reactivity, and stability while the upper is constructed to encase, support and protect without constricting the foot. The Trail Rocker™ encourages the athlete to strike a natural stance with a harmonious roll as the flex grooves ensure flexibility and agility even for the most demanding runners.
Features
- Set of structures for maximum support and stability: the knit gaiter surrounds the ankle, the wrapping system and the ergonomics of the heel comfortably secure the foot, preventing it from slipping around inside the shoe
- Trail Rocker™ promotes a smooth and rolling heel-to-toe motion for an unimpeded stride
- Flex grooves give the sole greater flexibility and agility
- Xflow™ nitrogen infused supercritical foam with an ultra dampening and resilient energy-return effect has 15% more cushioning and 18.5% more rebound yet is 18% lighter compared to traditional expanded EVA
- Bio-based Xflow™ midsole uses ethylene from sugar fermentation to substitute 30% of the traditional ethylene in the midsole
