LS Bushido II
- Code LS-36S
State of the art technology and aesthetics in the world of mountain running shoes.
Bushido II is the competition shoe dedicated to the world of
skyraces: super light, extra grip,
aggressive, the shoe is designed to ensure perfect
stability and support on all types of
off-road terrain. Thanks to the STB Control
construction, the TPU skeleton placed
laterally
on the uppers, reaches down to wrap the midsole in the medial part,
stabilizing the shoe. This
solution allows to obtain a snug fit and greater
overall stability thanks to the synergistic work
of uppers and midsole, as well as the reduced weight of
the product, avoiding the insertion of
heavy stabilizers in the central part of the shoe.
The FriXion Red double compound sole has
different support surfaces: the rounded shape of
the external lugs that rise sideways to touch
the midsole, creates a gradual support angle with
the ground, maintaining stability even in extreme foot torsion.
This allows you to run safely even
on more technical terrain in the presence of roots, stones
and branches. Maximum support on
the medial part of the foot, freedom of movement and
comfort at the toe. The result is a shoe that,
in pure La Sportiva style, offers new solutions to meet the
needs of the most demanding runners,
rewriting the rules of the game with a totally new construction
never seen before in trail running shoes.
Bushido II: the new path for trail runners.

Comparisons to the Bushido:
The Bushido and the Bushido II are more similar than different.
The Bushido II retains all of it's winning features as
the first-generation,
but with some nice tweaks.
Changes to the Bushido II are relatively minor. But significant
enough to warrant
a second-generation designation. The biggest difference is the
EVA midsole being
more responsive and springier due to the inclusion
of proprietary LaSpEVA in
addition to the holdover compression molded
MEMIex.
The exterior arch is covered in a more durable
material where previously this was
one of the first blow-out points. The upper is made of a
more breathable mesh fabric.
The toe-guard is redesigned. The rubber (not
synthetic leather) has been extended out
over the toebax. The small strip of synthetic leather on the
lateral perimeter of the toebox
has been removed to avoid some complaints about pinching.
