LA SPORTIVA
ULTRA RAPTOR II GTX

The Italian footwear manufacturer SPORTIVA first exhibited its products in 1928, marking the beginning of a long and evolving history. Over the decades, the brand has continuously refined its designs and systems to meet the needs of the times.
With the introduction of its signature models, SPORTIVA launched a new collection under the name LA SPORTIVA. This milestone marked the brand’s expansion beyond Italy into the European market, where it has since become a beloved and trusted name in outdoor performance.

Known and respected among devoted climbers and mountaineers, LA SPORTIVA holds a reputation built on reliability and craftsmanship. It’s one of those insider brands—discovered and appreciated by those who truly engage in outdoor activities.

That exclusivity adds to its appeal, though it also feels a bit underappreciated given its quality.

Among the brand’s impressive lineup, the model I’d like to highlight is the ULTRA RAPTOR II GTX. The original ULTRA RAPTOR was developed as a long-distance trail shoe focused on cushioning and protection while maintaining excellent flexibility and breathability—a true classic, with a name that sounds as powerful as it performs.

The ULTRA RAPTOR II GTX, equipped with GORE-TEX technology, refines the original design for even greater performance.

Every component, from the upper and lining to the sole, midsole, and insole, is crafted from carefully selected materials that deliver exceptional comfort and functionality.

It’s a shoe that continues to be chosen by experienced users for a reason—one you’ll understand the moment you put it on.
