Born in silence.
Developed in the dark.
Refined for years in the shadow of the wall.
Blackbird, our most challenging project ever undertaken by our climber engineer team.
BLACKBIRD
The challenge was finding the perfect equilibrium between stiffness and softness, and then redesigning every construction detail, material blend, and tension system around that balance.
Behind Blackbird stands Heinz Mariacher.
A legacy name in climbing footwear. Creator of some of the most iconic high-performance shoes in the history of the sport.
For Heinz, development is not only fun, it is obsession.
