Men's EVOLV Phantom Climbing Shoes

The Phantom, the pinnacle shoe in Evolv's lineup, has been designed in-house by their R&D team in collaboration with Daniel Woods and additional feedback from Paul Robinson, two of the world's most prolific boulderers. This ultra-performance shoe utilizes a variety of technologies (NEOFLEX, TPS+, and AVT) to create a powerful and sensitive shoe designed for your hardest climbing.

The Phantom's upper features SYNTHRATEK VX, a synthetic material, and is vegan. The shoe weighs 9oz per U.S. men's size 9. The sole is made of rubber, with a rubber outer material and a hook and loop closure type.

The shoe's key features include:

DARK SPINE S - For structure and sensitivity AVT PLASTIC MIDSOLE - For sensitivity and support TRAX SAS - Best friction plus maximum durability COMPRESSION CLOSURE SYSTEM (CCS) - 6-point single-pull closure for superb fit TPS+ RUBBER MIDSOLE - For downturned toe and arch structure

The NEOFLEX technology in the knuckle box is a two-way stretch neoprene laminate that allows the Knuckle Box to expand in the flex position and actively rebound when not flexed. This helps alleviate hot spots over the knuckles and maintains performance and fit over time.

The TPS+ (Tension Power System Plus) is the combination of the TPS rubber midsole, which maintains the downturned toe, with an extra wing for enhanced arch support. The AVT (Abridged Variable Thickness) plastic midsole provides greater toe sensitivity while still maintaining the optimal amount of support and structure where it's needed most.

The Phantom's Compression Closure system is an advanced 6-point single-pull closure system with double D-ring and hook and loop that secures the foot in a superb fit. The Dark Spine S (sensitive) heel is the combination of the Dark Spine midsole and a thinner 2mm heel outsole, providing the optimal structure and sensitivity for technical heel-hooking.

In conclusion, the Evolv Phantom is a highly versatile and performance-oriented climbing shoe designed to help climbers tackle their hardest projects. Its innovative technologies and features make it a top choice for serious boulderers and sport climbers alike.
