La Sportiva Helios III scarpe da trail running uomo - nero/Hawaiian Sun - EU 43,5

Combining a breathable recycled upper with advanced cushioning and a grippy outsole, this shoe delivers a responsive ride on mixed trails, from hard-packed paths to rocky ascents.

The recycled ripstop and mesh upper offers durability and breathability, with a TPU toe cap for added protection.
