Story & heritage
The Five Ten wiki names the Anasazi family as one of the brand’s flagship climbing-shoe lines, and the NIAD VCS is its modern hook-and-loop continuation.
Climbing Magazine and UKH coverage describe the NIAD VCS as an evolution of the classic Anasazi Velcro: an all-rounder for crags, walls and varied climbing.
Materials & craft
Adidas lists a Stealth C4 sole for grip, Stealth rubber coverage over the toe, a soft microfiber upper and a medium-stiff midsole.
Climbing Magazine notes unlined, low-stretch suede microfiber uppers that are breathable and abrasion-resistant.
How to choose & style
This is the gym-bag all-rounder: choose it for sessions where quick on-off changes matter more than lace precision.
