Featuring a stiffer nylon shank and gum rubber traction outsole, the H20 provides excellent power transfer and grip without sacrificing style.

ELASTIC LACE CATCH: Keeps your laces tucked away from getting caught in your chain-ring. 
FULL GRAIN LEATHER: Full grain leather is used for its unrivaled strength and vigor. 
H20 Hydro Barrier: A fully seam sealed waterproof membrane which is sandwiched between moisture wicking mesh to provides total protection. Keeping water out from under the shoe and the open cleat window and keeping your feet happy and dry. 
LINK TRACTION OUTSOLE: An engineered tread geometry that allows for traction and durability yet still maintains that casual style. 
REFLECTIVE HEEL BADGE: A highly visible 600 luminosity reflective badge sewn into the heel for rear visibility. -

I generally carry 20 lbs of school books and lunch and what not, so that also keeps my commuting pace “classy”.
