SIDI LAGHÈE SPRINTER SHOE

A boutique collaboration that twins premium features with head-turning Italian style

- 

Well, this is an intriguing proposition: two Italian brands - Sidi and Como-based bike shop, cafe and clothing brand Sartoria Ciclistica - joining forces to create the Laghèe Sprinter, a shoe that's designed to be stiff, comfortable and stylish. They look undeniably cool. But is it desirable, or even feasible, to produce a super-stiff sole married to a slipper-like upper?

Construction

The Laghèe Sprinter has a 'C-boost aerolite' carbon sole with a stiffness rating of 12/12 on Sidi's rigidity scale. Embedded into the sole at the toe and heel are two replaceable nylon inserts.
