Before I knew it, all the sneakers I own turned out to be whitish. Shige here.
How about you all?
I’ve never really been a fan of jet-black sneakers, so I tend to reach for white ones or even black ones with white soles.
As someone like that, some cycling shoes have just arrived that have caught my eye.
【GIRO】 Rumble VR
¥10,800 (plus tax)
The Rumble VR has been a staple in the GIRO lineup at Circles for a long time. Now, a Japan-exclusive gray color has joined the ranks.
A fresh color that’s a must-see for fans of white sneakers. You haven’t really had options like this in casual cycling shoes before, have you? What’s that? You're worried about them getting dirty? If anything, they look better with a little dirt on them! These are undeniably the best choice for those of you who pedal every day without worrying about such things.
Of course, there are plenty of other colors besides this gray, so you’re sure to find your favorite!
Today, let’s take a closer look at why these shoes have become a classic.
・Breathable upper material
First, the upper design gives such a strong first impression that you might mistake them for hiking shoes. The highly breathable mesh material ensures your feet don’t get stuffy in the summer, and it’s comfortable enough to wear all day long. Since they are a lace-up type, you can adjust the tightness if your sock thickness changes with the seasons, so you never lose that perfect fit.
・Easy to walk in with an excellent-grip Vibram sole
Compatible with SPD mountain bike pedals, the key point of these shoes is that unlike road bike shoes, they are designed with walking off the bike in mind.
Of course, there are other shoes like that, but the Rumble VR features a sole with just the right amount of stiffness to perfectly suit a style of "riding + exploring," making them highly recommended for those who often walk around after getting off their bike or use them for train-and-ride trips.
Plus, by using a Vibram sole, they are resistant to mud and great for dirt touring or trail riding.
As shown in the opening photo, they look great with your favorite everyday jeans, or you can pair them with comfortable shorts for trail riding.
They are highly recommended for those choosing their first pair of cycling shoes, so please come by the store and try them on! Feel free to ask us for advice on matching pedals as well!
