The special airmesh structure of the upper originates from the Airflow System concept that allows the foot to breathe, even when it is under strain. Recommended for whoever is looking for a comfortable shoe, but that has all the technical details, from the Carbon Reinforced sole to the micrometric closure system.
Features:
Step-by-Step Closing system
Northwave's R & D department has patented a new closure system: Step-by-Step. This innovative mechanism gives a precise and stabile closure of the instep strap and a gradual release of the pressure by the special "release" button. It allows an optimal micrometric adjustment matched with the possibility of controlling pressure release on the foot arch "step by step".
Anatomic Performance Footbed
An anatomic design that guarantees maximum comfort, with ventilation channels and holes that reduce overheating of the foot during exertion.
Ultra Y Heel
This new design of heel was developed by Northwaves R & D department, which devised a component with an exceptionally high technical level that guarantees excellent heel retention with a particularly low weight. The special Y shape embraces the heel comfortably and holds it in its natural position.
NRG Carbon Reinforced Sole
Produced in Zytel DuPont composite fibre thermoplastic material enriched with a glass and carbon fibre layer adding to standard rigidity, it incorporates a laterally adjustable fastening system. A new design allows to maintain a short foot/pedal distance and to adjust shoe/crank distance.
Airflow System and Airmesh Upper
The Airflow System concept was developed to ensure an optimum level of ventilation and breathability of the upper, even for the amateur cyclist.
