Unparallel TN Pro

Introduction

TheUnparallel TN Prois a high performance, signature model; completely designed, projected and tested by Tomoa Narasaki. Updatedfor2022 with some minor cosmetic and colour changes.

Tomoa Narasaki is one of the world’s best competition climbers. Havingwon two World Cups, one World Championship andflashed 8B+by the age of 23,he brought his significant experience in climbing hard to bear on the design of theTN Pro- his signature climbing shoe.

In our view the TN Pro is essentially an improved version of theUnparallelRegulus (and Five Ten Hiangle), featuring a more refined, super comfy upper, super precise fit and 4.2MM RH rubber outsole – which will give you all the friction you need to stand on micro edges insteep angled roofs. The midsole is relatively (for this kind of shoe) stiff giving you lots of power through your toes, while the upper is unlined synthetic ‘leather’ which has a little but not much stretch so you don’t have to worry about the shoes bagging out. If you looking for a stiffish, downturned performance shoe, honed for support, toe hooking and heel hooking then look no further.

Who are Unparallel? -Whilst you mightn’t have heard of Unparallel shoes, they are far from new to the climbing shoe game. Based out of their Redlands factory in Fullerton, California, Unparallel rose from the ashes of Five Ten’s US manufacturing headquarters, all of which relocated to China as part of the brand’s assimilation into the Adidas family. Run by longterm Five Ten development and manufacturing associate Sang Lee, along with members of the original design team (who brought you many of Five Ten’s most iconic models), Unparallel continues to go from strength to strength in both the rock climbing and mountain biking shoe categories.
