When your project is so steep that it always casts a shadow, that’s when you bust out these secret weapons - the Shadow high performance climbing shoe by BLACK DIAMOND.

Built for overhanging sport routes and hard bouldering, the Shadow features an aggressive, downturned last with a sticky rubber that’s molded - inspired by the way BLACK DIAMOND forges their carabiners - and not cut from one sheet of rubber. This is BLACK DIAMOND's engineered solution to optimize the shoe’s rubber and rands for weight, consistency and comfort.

The Shadow features a stretch resistant microfiber upper, and the shoe's vamp features an innovative combination of printed and molded high friction rubber. The molded rubber is strategically placed in high-use areas, while the printed rubber minimizes bulk, and in combination, these rubbers provide better top of foot dexterity and purchase when toe-hooking.

The tongue is made from BLACK DIAMOND's Engineered Knit Technology, which is exceptionally breathable and increases mobility and comfort. With a minimalist midsole, the Shadow is ultra-sensitive and allows you to pull in on steep terrain.
