A new player is entering the climbing shoe market. Black Diamond has announced that they will release their own line of climbing shoes starting this October, with more models to follow in early 2018. While Black Diamond, the leading U.S. climbing hardware manufacturer, distributed Scarpa shoes until 2005 and formerly had their own line of ski boots, this is the first time they are producing their own shoes, which will be manufactured in China by Butora (a Korean climbing shoe brand with their own factory). Check out a preview of the line up below.

While the Momentum climbing shoe was built with ultimate comfort in mind it excels in performance. With Engineered Knit Technology for exceptional breathability and innovative NeoFriction molded rubber, the Momentum is the perfect entry-level climbing shoe for all day comfort at the gym or crag.
MSRP: $90 (men’s and women’s model), $60 (kids’ model), $80 (lace model)
Launch date: October 1, 2017, exclusively at REI. A global release will follow on January 1, 2018. More colors will become available on March 15, 2018, and a lace model will be released on April 15, 2018
