Story & heritage
UKClimbing calls the Anasazi Pink a flat, stiff lace-up mainstay in climbers’ bags for decades, and frames NIAD Lace as its successor.
Climbing Magazine describes NIAD Lace as a reboot of the classic Anasazi lace, an all-around edging and face-climbing shoe first launched in 1992.
Materials & craft
The adidas page lists a snug fit, lace closure, partially lined microfiber upper, form-fit heel, stiff midsole and Stealth C4 rubber.
Climbing Magazine also notes a seven-eyelet full-length lacing system, microfiber suede uppers and a small scumming patch at the toebox.
How to choose & style
Pick the Lace when fit precision matters. It is the pair for edging days, vertical stone and sessions where you want the shoe cinched evenly from toe to instep.
