| Not a climber? No these are not kid shoes...but the award winning Team VXi-"lightest performance competition available" weighing in at what else...5.10 ounces. |
 |
| TEAM VXI in neon/charcoal="Maximum friction with much lower forces" Mi6 Stealth rubber- high friction, increased sensitivity-plus Clarino upper, arch support and Smedging™ technology. Made in the USA(!) and available November 2013 $170 |
 |
| glove-like fit |
Brand of the Brave Five Ten stakes its firm grasp on the climbing market-and mountains worldwide with its proprietary rubber compounds-used on its footwear to flexibly (and reliably) grip like no other. In all conditions on different terrains. The game changer-in particular-the sticky, durable, cushioning/shock absorbing Stealth Mi6.
Important when scaling cliffs...and mountain biking steep trails. No doubt a reason giant Adidas acquired the company. And also interesting-the way many barefoot running shoes are constructed...with glove-like fits (asymmetrical lacing) owes a lot to how climbing kicks are constructed. IMO.
Lots of new styles for Spring 2014---some highlights....

With the new bike shoes-for clip-less riding (and not)-we think Five: Ten should cozy on up to parent company Adidas' marketing department/celebrity gifting peeps-as these handsome kicks would be super cool as streetwear, with sneaker collecting, hip-hop artists (and wired types)...giving the A-OK.
