La Sportiva Prodigio 2 — Versatile Trail Performance. Ready for Anything.

The La Sportiva Prodigio 2 is a versatile all-rounder built for everything from easy trail runs to gruelling endurance races. A breathable high-tenacity 3D mesh upper keeps feet cool and dry across steep, sweaty ascents, whilst the nitrogen-injected XFlow™ foam midsole and footbed deliver superior cushioning and explosive energy return mile after mile. Sure-footed and powerful across all terrain types, this is a trail shoe that earns its place across the full range of the training week and race calendar.

XFlow™ Nitrogen-Injected Midsole

The nitrogen-injected XFlow™ foam midsole and XFlow™ footbed — incorporating 100% recycled supercritical foam — work together to deliver reactive cushioning and energy return across every stride. At 34mm heel and 28mm forefoot stack height with a 6mm drop, the platform sits naturally underfoot with enough protection for long-distance efforts without sacrificing ground feel on technical sections. An ergonomic wrapping system cradles the foot and keeps the shoe firmly in place across varied terrain.

FriXion® Red Dual Compound Outsole

The dual-compound FriXion® Red outsole is engineered for both durability and grip. Extra durability in the high-wear heel zone extends the lifespan across repeated mileage, whilst maximum traction in the mid and forefoot — delivered through grippy 4mm lugs — provides confident navigation on technical and loose terrain. A construction that handles the full range of trail conditions without compromise.
