A reasonably attractive SPD tennis shoe from a major manufacturer

I almost ordered a pair of those, then realized I hate poofy fat skate shoes with a fucking passion. I still want a regular street shoe with a recessed SPD cleat, but nothing that looks like a freerider would wear.

I keep getting closer to ordering a pair of those Exustar spinning shoes that Nashbar has for $30. One day I might actually do it.

[quote=y]these have been around for over ten years. i remember 'em from my mountain bike days.[/quote]vans stopped making any sort of spd shoe for the last 7 years or so. i remember seeing them in the dan’s comp catalog when i was younger.

I like the SPD Dunks more, but I’m not dropping dough on either.

the japanese people at the ECMC all rocked adidas cyclones, too bad their out of production.

mavic makes shoes that look like the old adidas. i think they might have bought the design.

I really like them, but Dominators are still sexier.

this talk, it’s real

i like the idea of a little sole covering that you can put over the cleat when walking around, but i don’t like shoe… are there any shoes out there with a similar thing?

sixsixone make a very similar spd shoe

non-white sole = GET OFF MY COURT KIDS

I have a pair of black cyclones. Y’all jealous. :3

They need new SPD fastening plate things though since the ones in them are stripped, maybe I’ll get new ones and some atacs and ride clipless again.

I think the hot tip would be a thin removable footbed made from something semi-flexible like G10 or something that you could velcro into New Eras / Authentics underneath the stock footbed. Then you could have the best of all possible worlds: comfortable shoe that doesn’t scream “FRED!!!” that’s walkable and still stiff enough for longer distance riding.

Despite having a thousand or so miles on my road bike with clipless pedals I’m still not a believer.

Ya know what, the tongue doesn’t look puffy at all. I think I’m going to get some.
