Unparallel Leopard II
Unparallel
An aggressive bouldering and steep-sport shoe, the Leopard II combines a V-shaped velcro strap with a split VD/RS sole and soft C-shape midsole to drive power into small edges while keeping heel sensitivity. UP VD/RS rubber delivers high-friction performance on technical overhanging terrain.
Best For
Best for sport climbing and bouldering on vertical and overhang terrain. Aimed at intermediate to advanced climbers.
