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.

BOULDERING IS FREEDOM. Climbing without ropes or harnesses over rock formations or artificial walls offers unique mental and physical challenges. As a keen climber, Saberi wanted to expand and enhance the apparel possibilities of bouldering. His personal connection with the sport together with his existing partnership with leading mountain sports brand Salomon resulted in a paradigm shift in bouldering style: the Athletic Bouldering FW23 collection. Created in collaboration with legendary climber Fred Nicole and So iLL, the collection brings together technical footwear, clothing and backpacks in a specific design language that both embraces and transcends utilitarianism.






I love these shoes so much. I have them both in black and white. Super comfortable straight out the box and the quick lace system is a wonderful middle ground between laces and straps. I guarantee you will get asked about these shoes every time you wear them. I get compliments on how stylish they are all the time. They also perform really well. Super soft shoes with great sensitivity. My only real drawback is I think the rubber could be a bit stickier. Considering it's white rubber it's still pretty sticky and I can definitely smear pretty decently, but when I compare them to the black versions, I definitely feel more confident in the black rubber than the white rubber. Although both are super awesome shoes. I rave about them to everyone I meet. 1000% recommend
The shoes are very soft and comfortable. Thanks to So iLL team for all the helps they gave me when buying the shoes. I would strongly recommend everyone to buy!
Comfort and Precision out of the gate. I love the feel and design. This shoe is a head turner at my local gym. Never really having a super soft shoe has opened my mind to really only wanting a soft shoe now. I have much more confidence in my foot placement.
I do believe the rubber could be a bit better and stickier. I also believe the lace system could be tweaked to wrap to the inside of the foot and connect there. Overall I think the future of this shoe and other shoes like it are going to be the future of climbing. This isn't just a great intermediate shoe it's a great shoe for climbers and beginners all around.
Can't wait to see what else you cook up next.
