more trendiness. adi shoes
adidas makes these lifestyle shoes...
they're so hot they're cooking.
no cleats or anything-- they're not bike shoes, just trendy.
they even come with a sick guy on the back!
these are totally gonna make my quads bigger.

when i saw the first picture, i thought they were really sweet clipless shoes, then i just got disappointed.
edit: on second look, they're actually pretty cool. if only they were clipless...

They're neat and all, but without cleat mounts I don't see why I should spend money on them when my Vans work great.

the sole is pretty stiff but w/ enough flex in the toes to walk comfortably in.

Seems to me that they'd be good for racing/riding with toeclips, since stiff soles help. I mean, before the advent of clipless pedals, track racers used toe clips and wore shoes with stiff soles.
Trendy? Maybe. See how it pans out.
Functional? Yes.

meh. they're not that great. better to just go clipless and get some real shoes.
they're definitely stiffer than sambas or other similar shoes, but they're also probably a few grams heavier and don't breathe any better. my feet are pretty sweaty. at least they have removable liners for washing.
