Giro has partnered with Rapha to produce the new Rapha Grand Tour Shoes, delivering the highest performance and finest quality for discerning cyclists. The Rapha Grand Touring shoe takes full advantage of Giro's cycling footwear expertise, which includes a multi-disciplinary team of footwear designers, last makers, and biomechanical consultants.
The result is a pair of shoes that emphasize craft, a comfortable precision fit and the performance benefits of modern engineering and technology.
"Many of us at Giro appreciate Rapha's wonderful cycling clothing and accessories," said Giro Senior Brand Manager Eric Richter. "When a discussion about collaboration turned into a real opportunity to develop Rapha's vision for a Grand Tour Shoe, we were proud to bring our resources as cycling footwear experts to the project. Together, we've created truly unique shoes that combine luxurious feel with Giro's modern performance features."
The Rapha Grand Tour shoes will be available on April 10, 2012 exclusively from rapha.cc and giro.com.
