Product Details: - Sole Material: Rubber - Outer Material: Rubber - Closure Type: Hook & Loop

About this Item: The Dark Spine S is designed for structure and sensitivity, while the AVT plastic midsole provides sensitivity and support. The TRAX SAS offers the best friction and maximum durability. The Compression Closure System (CCS) provides a superb fit with its 6-point single-pull closure. The TPS+ rubber midsole creates a downturned toe and arch structure. The Molded VTR system by Evolv, known as the Variable Thickness Rand (VTR), features thinner rand rubber in pressure point areas and thicker rubber in high wear zones near the toe for increased durability and performance.

The liner is made of synthetic material, the midsole is MX-P (1.6mm) and made of AVT & TPS rubber, and the outsole is 4.2mm TRAX SAS. The profile is downturned asymmetric, the upper is made of synthetic material (SYNTHRATEK VX), and it is vegan-friendly. Each shoe weighs 9oz (size 9 US men's).

The Phantom is the flagship shoe in Evolv's lineup, developed by their R&D team in collaboration with world-renowned boulderers Daniel Woods and Paul Robinson. This high-performance shoe incorporates various technologies (NEOFLEX, TPS+, and AVT) to create a powerful and sensitive shoe for the most challenging climbs. The knuckle box utilizes NEOFLEX technology, a two-way stretch neoprene laminate that expands and rebounds to provide comfort and maintain performance over time.

The TPS+ (Tension Power System Plus) combines the TPS rubber midsole with an extra wing for enhanced arch support and a maintained downturned toe. The Phantom also features an AVT plastic midsole, using Abridged Variable Thickness technology, which offers greater toe sensitivity with the right amount of support and structure. Its Compression Closure system ensures a secure fit with its advanced 6-point single-pull closure, double D-ring, and hook and loop closure.

Lastly, the Phantom is equipped with the Dark Spine S (sensitive) heel, consisting of the Dark Spine midsole and a thinner 2mm heel outsole. This combination provides optimal structure and sensitivity for precise heel-hooking.

With its innovative design and advanced technologies, the Evolv Phantom is the ultimate choice for climbers seeking the highest performance and sensitivity on the most difficult climbs.
