You collect sneakers don't you.
Oh great, clown shoes for downhillers.
If you buy two do you get a free wig and rubber nose ?

"The Nike Dunk Gyrizo (Greek for wheel) will be used by the US, Chinese and Japanese BMX riders during the event later this year."

I know those arent bowling shoes, but as a really competitive bowler, I have paid that for bowling shoes. Bowling shoes are like brakes and suspension in mountain biking. And my bowling shoes are way better looking than those 6.0's. I can picture all the groms with flat bills, baggy pants and the next big sensation bike wearing those shoes.
Too much information!
Thoes are so sick, but for 219$ I could buy a pair of shoes I wouldn't be scared to ride in, and a Sick pair of sneakers to rock when I actually care what I'm wearing.
Agreed. Those shoes look awesome, but I don't ride clipless so they don't really interest me, and I probably wouldn't trade in my 5.10's even if they had a non-SPD version.
The world never lets you forget how doofy it is.
60$ would be pushing it for a set of those monstrosities.

Actually, it's Greek for "I'm turning". A "gyro" is a turn, and might in ancient Greek be the word for wheel as well. But definately not "gyrizo". Like if anyone gave a souvlaki..

wow... those are ridiculously expensive!
i have regular pair of 6.0s and the sole is by very very grippy.
perfect for pedal pins imo

I'm really glad to hear that about that specific pattern. I just bought a pair of 6.0 Morgans yesterday. I looked at the bottoms of a lot of other 6.0's, and they were more skate orientated.
I was using some Etnies before that and found the suede wore out too quickly. I tweaked a knee so SPDs aren't an option right now.
Let me break down the $219 for you:
Nike's profit: $9
Cycling sponsorship: $1
Paying Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods: $205
Actual cost to manufacture: $4
6.0's are super stiff! I'd get them if I rode clipless.
Mmmm, yeah OK, I can see Nike sending the US BMX athletes to Beijing in floppy soled hybrid sneaker/spds. That has gold written all over it.
i saw the sole and figured they would be awesome on pedals so i bought a pair. then about 4 month later, i bought another just to have
too much$$$. I can something else more worthy for my bike!
I actually like them.......i wouldn't pay that much for them though......i have trouble forking over that kinda money for carbon fiber soled race shoes, at least the CF makes them almost feel like they're worth that much.....not sure where the money in those does.
spend 200 bucks on a clipless shoe thats just going to get torn and dirty as hell after a day on the slopes ... no thanks, i just wear the crappiest shoes i can dig out of my garage, problem solved.
I agree with Zutroy. They look good, but not for $220
My personal prefrece for SPD's is that of a stiffer XC style shoe. Once again, not that of the $200 variety, though.

Slightly off topic:
does anybody have a confirmed availability date on the vans spd shoe? Were supposed to be released this fall - checked in a few vans stores a few weeks back, but shop employees were totally useless in terms of providing information.
Thanks

Haha... I'd rock those if I ran into $220 and found NOTHING better to spend it on.
it actually uses the same last as whatever shoe Lance Armstrong wears, so its shape is probably considerably better than their regular old 6.0 shoes.

funny, was actually talkin to one of the designers about the shoe a while back.. he wasn't into the colors either, but had no control over that... he "just made that sh*t work" he said! haha the guy came from a BMX/MTB background & seems to know a good deal about what'll be good for cyclists when it came to a SPD shoe. it obviously loooks more suitable for BMX... but that's not too surprising considering their market base
looks like a descent shoe. some colors are alright, others... not so much

it's funny to hear that guy talk, "that sh1tty sh1t is sh1t" w/ an english accent. I can attest to his knowledge of what spd's should do especially considering he's been wearing shimano XC shoes for as long as I've known him and he's a pinner, too. Nice job, An-ti!
I'm not sure I could run any of those colors but if they come out with decent colors i'd wear a pair.
