Vice fills the void for a technical bike shoe with a modern, low-profile aesthetic and lifestyle component at an affordable price point. Competitor offerings in this category have been stagnant, continuing to rely on outdated, old school designs, non-technical fits and minimal performance features.
Ride Concepts VICE shoes have been developed with dirt jump, slopestyle, and BMX athletes who value pedal feel and compliance above all else. The Vice introduces the RC Fuzion outsole, an inverse, gradient diameter hexagon pattern designed to bring the pedal closer to the rider.
Sloped-angle inverse hexagons, varying in diameter from 9mm at the toe and heel to 7mm at the pedal contact area, allow the pedal to “inject” into the outsole for unrivaled sensitivity. Knowing your vices brings you closer to your obsession. Accepting them makes you invincible.
