What a sticky climbing shoe! Unparallel's Souped Up review

We tested what is perhaps the stickiest climbing shoe for you, the Souped Up by Unparallel, in the climbing hall and on the rock. You can find out how the shoe fared in the following video. AND: You can win a model - tailor-made for you, even before the official market launch!

Unparallel is known for its in-house rubber compounds, which make the climbing shoes particularly sticky. After we last year the model Flagship tested for you, we have now set out with a new model: The souped up. The Souped Up is a high-performance climbing shoe that primarily feels at home in the climbing gym. But not only! The Souped Up from Unparallel also convinced us on the rock.
