You've been eyeing Giro's VR90 shoes for a while and trying to settle on just one color option, or maybe you already have a pair or two and are looking to cap off that rad new kit design with the perfect extended #kitfit. Either way, we've collaborated with Giro to bring you the Empire VR90 Limited Edition Shoes in a colorway that you won't find anywhere else. Pairing a flash of silver bling with subtle hits of Competitive Cyclist red, these shoes will stand out as they stand up to all manner of muddy switchbacks, rocky descents, gravel rollers, and myriad epic adventuring.


These shoes are packing all the features we love about the standard VR90s, including a lace-up closure system for seven points of adjustability and a comfy, near-custom fit. The shoes also include Giro's SuperNatural Fit Kit, which is a series of three arch support options that lets you further fine tune the feel. In a small yet important demonstration of Giro's attention to detail, an integrated lace keeper holds lace ends securely in place to assuage worries of an inopportune chain grab or crankset encounter.


Giro uses a one-piece upper made from soft, breathable Evofiber with perforations for extra cooling ventilation when the mercury rises. This material is malleable enough to shape to your foot for an exceptionally comfortable fit while resisting stretch and loss of shape over time. In this regard, we might liken them to a favorite pair of well-worn slippers—if, that is, the slippers were high-tech, durable, and ridiculously low-weight. The polished finish accentuates the color with the added bonus of quick and easy cleaning after a muddy day in the saddle.


Underfoot, Giro incorporates an ultralight and ultra-stiff Easton EC90 carbon fiber sole with a low 6.5mm stack height for efficient power transfer regardless of terrain. To manage hike-a-bike or barrier-running situations, Giro finishes the VR90 with a Vibram Mont rubber lugged outsole and a Mid-Foot Scuff Guard. The two conspire for solid grip whether you're scrambling up a rocky face or pounding through a mid-race run-up, and they help provide interim purchase on the pedal if you miss a clip-in while remounting. Each shoe also includes fittings for two toe spikes for extra traction when you really need to dig in.


Each pair of Giro Empire VR90 Limited Edition Shoes comes packaged with two sets of laces, four steel toe spikes, cleat mounting hardware, and a zippered Giro shoe bag for easy storage and transport.
