Imagine this: you’re on a trail, the wind at your back and only a pair shoes can stand between you and the horizon. Meet the La Sportiva Prodigio – a trail running shoes that is rewriting what’s possible along the less traveled path.

How does a shoe transform from zero to hero when it comes to trail running?

Nicola Dalla Costa is the R&D Team Product Lead at La Sportiva. He didn’t only design the Prodigio, he lived it. His passion for ultra-running, which he developed in the mountains of Italy, fueled his mission to create a shoe to adapt to you and not the other way round. The Prodigio, which weighs under 300g, is a masterclass of balance. It offers cushioning, reactivity and sensitivity without the bulk.

What if the shoe that you need was already designed to fit the runner that you will become?

The Prodigio shoe is more than just a shoe. It’s a manifesto of sorts for the modern trail runner. This isn’t a shoe, but a ticket to your best. It’s been tested for over 20 months and features a nitrogen-infused foam blend. This is the result of an extensive design process that took into account every step, every impact and each runner’s individual journey.

Can a shoe change the game for all runners?

The Prodigio will support your flow, whether you’re a podium chaser or weekend warrior. This shoe is as versatile as the trails that you will conquer. It has a wider toebox for comfort, and a lock-in fit for stability at the heel and the midfoot.

What’s all the fuss about the Prodigio, exactly?

In a world of one-size fits all, the Prodigio dares be different. It’s a running shoe that is as excited as you about your next hundred miles. It’s designed with a 34mm stack and 6mm drop to guide and absorb your stride. This allows you to push harder without sacrificing durability or protection.

In a world full of noise, Prodigio gives you the quiet confidence that you need.

The Prodigio shoe is more than just a shoe. It’s the sound of the trail, your heartbeat, and the wind blowing in your ears while you fly past your competition. It’s a shoe that allows you to run faster, farther, and with less tiredness, all in an elegant package.
