Technical and aesthetic evolution: La Sportiva presents Katana Laces

Advertorial: For the SS2022 collection, La Sportiva releases the new version of the Katana Laces shoe, which enriches the climbing category and is presented as a multi-purpose, high-performance model. Katana Laces is available for both men and women featuring several common elements such as the tongue in soft, breathable fabric, the lacing system made with 100% recycled laces, and technical details that allow an optimal adjustment of the volumes. The XS Edge Vibram Sole, in a high-performance rubber compound, offers unparalleled grip properties and allows to distribute maximum weight even on smaller supports. Furthermore, the P3 system allows Katana Laces to keep its shape and all its features unchanged even after many hours of use.

The women’s version, in unisex colors, differs in the construction elements and is designed for climbers with lighter weight thanks to softer materials and with reduced thickness able to flex more easily adapting to the roughness of the rock.
