Free Solo" won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at this year's Academy Awards. The film is set in Yosemite National Park, the Mecca of climbing in the United States. The film tells the story of a solo climber who climbs a huge monolith without a rope. We can't wait for its release in Japan.
Sport climbing has been added to the Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo in 2020. With the increase in media coverage, we are seeing more and more opportunities to see climbing on a daily basis.
With timing like that, [Joon]...adidasThe adidas brand has teamed up with the prestigious FIVE TEN brand, which enjoys great support from climbers, to launch a new brand. The name is "adidas Five Ten.
And the first product to go on sale was the approach shoe.
To begin with, most climbing ascent points are in the mountains. So some climbing is necessary, and changing into climbing shoes is also necessary. Since we have to move from one climbing point to another, we naturally need to put on and take off our shoes more frequently. That is why you need approach shoes instead of regular shoes.
FIVE TENNIE ¥13,500+TAX
Two models are now on sale. FIVE TENNIE" is a new model that revives the approach shoes first introduced by "Five Ten" with modern technology. The sockliner construction integrates with the shoe's sole, making them comfortable and easy to put on and take off. The stealth sole provides a high level of grip even on wet, rocky terrain.
GUIDE TENNIE ¥15,500+TAX
The GUIDE TENNIE is Five Ten's eponymous approach shoe. The highly durable leather upper and rigid midsole protect climbers' feet.
ASYM ¥14,000+TAX
HIANGLE ¥18,000+TAX
Of course, climbing shoes will be released sequentially. All models are outstanding in terms of fit, feeling underfoot, and hold on the rock.
As was the case with trail-running shoes, I have a feeling that approach shoes will also be popularized in the future, not for their original purpose, but for street wear. If you are interested in these shoes, please contact .online storeand check with each handling store.
