Designed by Boris Bidjan Saberi, the Athletic Bouldering Shoe 1 (Black) is built upon and adapted to a hand shaped, downturned last, created by Fred Nicole. The unique collaboration of designer Boris Bidjan Saberi – a climber for 30+ years, and climbing legend Fred Nicole resulted in an incredibly soft shoe that meets the creators unique demands of high design and maximum performance.
Originally created as a one-off featured in the 11 Athletic Bouldering Exhibit for Paris Fashion week in 2023, the Athletic Bouldering Climbing Shoe model quickly turned into a house favorite so, naturally, we had to share it with you. Featuring the iconic and patented Salomon Quicklace System, this regular volume, very soft shoe is marked by a two-piece, unlined, durable + comfortable vegan microsuede upper with a padded mesh tongue. The tongue includes a centering elastic strap to secure the fit, along with a perforated inner upper panel for breathability. A thin midsole is included to provide support/structure while the single piece outsole is fitted with a proprietary rubber that creates an incredible combination of resilience and friction resulting in support and sensitivity. Athletic Bouldering 1 is great for bouldering, large volume climbing, and projects involving precise toe placement.
