Evolv athlete Ashima Shiraishi and L.A. creative collective Brain Dead reimagined the 2021 Zenist to advance diversity and inclusivity in climbing.
100% of profit from this colorway’s presale has been donated and recieved by Adaptive Climbing Group, Brown Girls Climbing, DEI Film Festival, Long Beach Rising, and Young Women Who Climb: grassroots organizations that provide marginalized communities access to climbing.
The Ashima x Brain Dead Zenist reimagines the most sensitive shoe in our most recent 2021 lineup. Designed for climbers who want maximum feedback on delicate placements, the Zenist features a single layer upper for a snug fit that molds to your foot. An aggressively cambered vegan synthetic upper provides power in overhanging terrain, while the EX-P midsole provides stability without sacrificing sensitivity.

The launch of the Zenist traces back to an idea from Shiraishi and Kyle Ng, a Los Angeles-based climber, photographer and co-founder of Brain Dead, a firm that specializes in designing exclusive product lines with leading apparel companies. Shiraishi then took the concept of a unique collaboration to Evolv, which began work immediately on a stylish competition-level shoe that will help support the growth of climbing and access to the sport.
