CHROME Southside 2.0 Trainers - Men´s Classic High-Cut Sneakers Experience the ultimate fusion of street-ready style and cycling-specific performance with the CHROME Southside 2.0, a classic men´s sneaker reimagined for the modern urban rider. This high-cut trainer is engineered for those who demand footwear that works as hard on the bike as it looks good on the pavement. The Southside 2.0 seamlessly bridges the gap between a high-performance cycling shoe and your favorite everyday sneaker, making it the perfect choice for commuting, exploring the city, and everything in between. The story of the Southside is one of legend and revival. As we at CHROME say: Originally launched in 2012, the Southside was our first crack at a mid-rise sneaker that looked dope but could still crush miles in toe cages. We discontinued the Southside for a couple of years, but fans of the Southside kept after us until we brought it back. Now you know we can´t bring something back without a little bit of tinkering, where´s the fun in that? We brought in our FlexPlate technology to give you some more push on the pedals and added some canvas accents to the side panels. Bringin´ it back! This updated 2.0 version honors the original´s legacy while integrating advanced technology for an even better ride. The introduction of our innovative FlexPlate technology provides the perfect balance of pedaling stiffness and walkability, giving you more efficient power transfer on the pedals without sacrificing comfort when you´re off the bike. The classic, high-cut silhouette is constructed from durable synthetic materials, offering excellent ankle support and protection from the urban elements, while the low-profile design ensures a perfect, snag-free fit within a toe cage. Every detail is meticulously crafted for the demands of the city cyclist.
