While we strive to cull new and interesting products in the cycling world, once and awhile a brand falls completely outside of our radar.
And, despite being the cycling shoe of choice for BMC ‘s Stefan Küng, and fixed gear fascination, Patrick Seabase, along with others, until now, the Suplest brand remained unfamiliar to us.
Founded in Berne, Switzerland, the brand’s founders, Robert Gehrig and Daniel Balmer, make certain to emphasize their roots, by espousing the virtues of Swiss ingenuity and design throughout their range of shoes.
Their newly launched Edge/3 represent’s Suplest’s flagship road shoe, which boasts such features as a double-BOA retention system, the finest Japanese microfiber for the upper and a full carbon, low profile outer-sole.
However, above and beyond function, perhaps the shoe’s greatest appeal, is its undeniable Swiss look and feel. Think Assos.
It remains to be seen if Suplast will ever make it to these shoes, but we sure hope so. Dig !
