Description

Delivering the perfect blend of cushion, responsiveness and outsole traction,
the Akasha II is the preferred shoe for trail runners seeking technical terrain or
high mileage outings.

In addition to aesthetic modifications, the 2022 updates of the Akasha II focus on
increased durability, protection and breathability.

Features:

  • Highly breathable 3D AirMesh upper is very accommodating and snugs up to any volume foot
  • Dynamic ProTechTion™ HF overlays on the forefoot provide lightweight, flexible protection
  • Dual-injection MEMlex EVA reduces shock as you run over rocky, tough terrain, while the
    cushion platform assures a springy feel underfoot mile after mile
  • FriXion® XT outsole and trail rocker not only provide traction but also promote a smooth
    and rolling heel-to-toe motion for an unimpeded stride
  • STB stabilization technology on both sides of the midsole reduces torsion and increases
  • stability for precise control on any terrain

    Great product and easy to purchase

    The shoe has been fantastic in the runs I have done so far. A bit heavier than some trail shoes but it is holding up well and di expect it to last for year. Have run on easy gravel, wet and slippery farmland and technical trail and it has held up well. Glad they came in sale and snapped the pair up!

    Great shoes

    I love these shoes. Walked more than 1000km in Spain and bought another pai when I got home. Still wearing the original pair though.

    Stability

    Took a bit of getting used to the hardness of the shoe after my previous models with more cushioning. But the difference in my foot stability was fantastic and despite the 'hard' feel my knees are so much better!
