So iLL Athletic Bouldering Shoe 1
German-Iranian designer Boris Bidjan Saberi loves rocks. A veteran climber of over 30 years, Saberi has designed climbing shoes for Salomon and is now striking out on his own with the So iLL Athletic Bouldering Shoe 1. Designed in collaboration with Swiss climber Fred Nicole, the Athletic Bouldering Shoe 1 is made for bouldering, a type of climbing without harnesses on rock formations or artificial walls. The shoe is made from a vegan, unlined microsuede upper with a single-piece outsole made from a proprietary rubber for durability and grip. The unique downturned last and toe shape is formed to give maximum grip on rock surfaces and crevasses, making it one of the best climbing shoes on the market.
