Evolv Men's Phantom
Evolv Men's Phantom, The Phantom is the pinnacle shoe in our lineup, designed in-house by our R&D team in collaboration with Daniel Woods and additional feedback from Paul Robinson, two of the most prolific boulderers in the world. 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. It uses NEOFLEX technology in the knuckle box, a two-way stretch neoprene laminate which allows the Knuckle Box to expand in the flex position and actively rebound when not flexed. This alleviates 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 midesole, which maintains the downturned toe, with an extra wing for enhanced arch support. We equipped the Phantom with an AVT (Abridged Variable Thickness) plastic midsole that provides greater toe sensitivity while still maintaining the optimal amount of support and structure where you need it 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. Finally, it features the Dark Spine S (sensitive) heel which is the combination of the Dark Spine midsole and a thinner 2mm heel outsole to give the optimal structure and sensitivity for technical heel-hooking.
