Sidi teamed up with LEroica to create the Tenacia, a classic road biking shoe made with modern materials for fans of vintage cycling. A classy but low-maintenance synthetic construction for good looks in any conditions. A flat rubber sole that will stick to any style of flat pedals. And key reinforcements that mesh well with traditional metal toe clips & straps, and will keep the shoes looking good for years to come. Sidi calls the shoes a smooth blend of tradition and innovation, so you can ride your retro bike in comfort and good looksSidi x LEroica Tenacia retro modern cycling shoes(Photos/Sidi)The Sidi Tenacia shoes are inspired by the style of shoes road racers last wore in the 1970s. Their name meaning tenacity in Italian, is a callout to the strength of will and determination it took to race the steel bikes of yesteryear in all weather conditions, over a mix of smooth tarmac and dusty white gravel roads, and all with skinny tires and huge gearing that we wouldnt dare to ride today. Well, except for at LEroica. Thats when otherwise sane modern cyclists break out those vintage bikes and pedal that old-school tech over the beautiful white gravel roads and rolling hills that have made Sienna famous among road cyclists.But while the Tenacia exude old-school cool style too, Sidi makes them with a modern synthetic upper for easy care and improved durability. Plus, they give the shoes a simple rubber sole that mimics leather sole looks, but delivers more versatile grip on- and off-the-bike.Tech detailssupple, hand-stitched 1.5mm thick synthetic microfiberembroidered 1974 Sidi logoperforated tongue for breathability with embroidered L-Eroica logoclassic lace-up closurereinforced toe-cap & red contrast stripe with metal rivets to protect against wear from traditional toe-clips & strapsreinforced heel scuff guards and padded opening around the anklenatural-colored rubber sole for good pedal grip and walkabilitywhole EU sizes 38-46Sidi Tenacia cycling shoes Pricing & availability at LEroicaThe new Sidi x LEroica Tenacia classic cycling shoes sell for 189, and then come only in this classic black with its red contrast band.
