september 2015
AKU is still focused on the European outdoor market, led by Germany, for the international development of its brand and the recent Outdoor Friedrichshafen exhibition confirms the company’s trend.
This is all thanks to AKU’s commitment to safeguarding local production and particularly appreciated by both independent distributors and big groups alike, constantly in search of quality and service.
A commitment that hasn’t gone unnoticed even by the international press that selected AKU to be one of the 5 companies to be included in the press’s traditional pre-fair tour in search of new trends and points of interest.
In fact, AKU presented 9 new models: 2 in the MOUNTAINEERING category and 7 HIKING and MULTITERRAIN, further expanding the range of a collection in constant renewal.

MEGAGRIP, from VIBRAM’s research and development, is the new compound specifically engineered to improve outsole performance especially on wet terrain without compromising tread longevity. Following AKU’s long-standing collaboration with VIBRAM came its decision to use the new MEGAGRIP compound on an amazing 25 models in the Summer 2016 collection, thereby establishing another step forward in the technical enhancement of its trekking to multiterrain products. Try the incredible performance of MEGAGRIP on the new NEF GTX model.
AKU’s mountaineering sector expands with SERAI GTX. It was met with immediate success by connoisseurs due to its sober, appealing design and high level technical features. Its lightness is particularly appreciated at only 840 gr. through the use of materials like Liba Smart polyurethane for edging and a mixed carbon-fibre, cellular aluminium and microporous eva structured lasting insole.
Thermal insulation is guaranteed by using Primaloft lining and a Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort membrane. The tread is a classic VIBRAM NEPAL.
