La Sportiva VK

Specific footwear for vertical kilometer competitions, developed in collaboration with the record man of the Urban Zemmer discipline. Specific footwear for vertical kilometres, developed in collaboration with the Urban Zemmer World Champion. Weight and volume have been reduced to a minimum to offer the athlete maximum performance. The upper is super tight thanks to the exclusive Sock-Like™ technology: this technology makes the upper a single knit fabric with differentiated elasticity and thermo-bonded stabilizing and abrasion resistant inserts, seams have been removed and the upper fits the foot like a sock. Asymmetrical Ghost-Stream Lace lacing system integrated directly into the upper System™: envelops and structures the upper all around and laces itself at the sides with shoe laces that can then be stowed away. The super light shoe profile with rubber only on the front, rock-guard on the ball of the foot and compressed super abrasion resistant EVA on sight in the back were developed for maximum lightness and upward drive during vertical races. The non-slip spoiler in microfibre at the rear, offers a quick and easy put on. VK, no compromise, pure vertical.
