Dainese Atipica Air 2 Shoes

The Dainese Atipica Air 2 Shoes feature an exclusive sporty design with a mesh fabric construction. On the inside, OrthoLite cushioning footbeds ensure optimal comfort and breathability all day long, on and off the bike.

Open-cells of the OrthoLite foam allow air to circulate in and around the footbed, and in combination with the mesh fabric outer construction provide perfect ventilation. Reinforcements on the heel, ankle and gear area plus Groundtrax asymmetrical tread geometry provide safety and control.

Sizing: 

• About a quarter size big according to Dainese sizing chart
• Pat from the video is a 10.5 US / Euro 44 in almost all riding shoes
• According to Dainese size chart, he is between 43 and 44. The 43 fits but is super tight, and the 44 has some extra room but would be his preference.
• Ingress is also super snug, regardless of fit, but should break-in with time

Features:

• A 2 season, hot weather riding shoe with high levels of breathability and airflow
• Genuinely "atypical" styling - reminiscent of early Reebok Iverson basketball shoes
  • Do they look most like the Answer 1, the Answer 4, or maybe the 1996 debut year "Questions"? 
  • Transparent lateral TPU blocks add to the aesthetic and reinforcements
• Mesh fabric upper
• 5/10 stiffness is relatively stiff for riding shoes in this subset

Ventilation:

• Mesh fabric construction provides excellent breathability
