Fizik has partnered with Kenyan cycling Team Amani to make two flashy limited editions of their most popular gravel bike shoes. And the results are pretty killer. At the top tier are the latest lightweight Boa & Powerstrap Ferox Carbon shoes in special Amani pink & white zebra stripes. And at the more affordable end of the spectrum are a pair single Boa Atlas shoes developed with their Black Mamba development team in the bright orange & yellow snakeskin print…
Fizik Team Amani limited edition gravel bike shoes
There’s nothing new tech-wise in either of these shoes – we covered the separate launches of the Ferox Carbon and Atlas before. But in a world of often drab black, white, and earth-tone cycling shoes, it’s refreshing to see some bold exciting patterns & colors. (To be fair, Fizik has already done pretty well with eye-searing pink and orange on-road & off-road shoes this year.)
