Adidas has quietly released a new range of cycling shoes, including the Heritage Road Cycling Shoes, which are intended to honour cycling's rich legacy with a modern take on lace-up road shoes.
The range also features the SPD Heritage Tour Cycling Shoe and the more performance-oriented Tempo 3-Stripes Boa Cycling Shoe.
The Heritage Cycling Shoes feature full-grain leather and are said to combine the latest tech with a classic style.
Inspired by Eddy Merckx
The Heritage models appear to draw inspiration from the shoes worn by Eddy Merckx in the 1970s, with the black colourway looking perfect for those wanting to cosplay The Cannibal.
The Tempo 3-Stripes Boa Cycling Shoe is more modern in its design, featuring a Boa fit system and an open mesh upper for breathability.
All the shoes in the range use a fibreglass-reinforced plate that is said to enable efficient power transfer, with the Heritage models featuring 360-degree reflectivity to ensure you're seen in low light.
You can also customise the Heritage Road Cycling Shoes with your name, although this is only available for the white colourway.
While the shoes have only just been released, many of them are on offer on Adidas’ website, with the brand offering up to 45% savings.
The RRP of the Heritage Road Cycling Shoes is £140, with the white shoes currently priced at £77, saving 45%.
The Tempo 3-Stripes Boa Cycling Shoes are listed at £160, with the green colourway priced at £92.80 and the white pair £88.
