CARLSBAD, Calif. (BRAIN) — Mountain bike clothing brand Zoic is introducing its first shoee, a flat pedal design developed with the skateboarding brand Osiris Shoes.
The Zoic Prophet shoe will be offered in three versions, all retailing for $85. They will ship next February.
The shoe features a firm sole and snug upper for responsiveness, along with a flat sole with sticky HookUP rubber compound.
"Flat pedals inspire confidence among mountain bikers and we believe comfortable gear makes our sport more accessible, enjoyable and less intimidating," said Zoic's president, Eric Swenson. "The dedicated Zoic community of riders has embraced our casual aesthetic for technical bike clothing; The Prophet delivers this same experience in footwear."
The shoe is the first product resulting from the collaboration of Zoic and Osiris. The companies said more products will be introduced in the future. Interested dealers can contact their Zoic sales representative or sales@zoic.com to request a catalog or arrange an appointment.
