What are the white SPD shoes that the rider is wearing on the cover of the latest Decline issue?
The bottoms look like Vans?

Well I thought so.........but I can't find them anywhere? do you know where I might be able to snag a pair, or 3That's because they're Vans. pretty cool huh?
but why??? Vans and maybe even Oakley I can understand but do you seriously think the 5.10 looks cool? They're not the best looking shoes outhere IMO.There friggin bad ass.........I have always been a fan of the vans sole and fit.....and I like the style of that shoe...it reminds me of the Oakley's that were so hot for awhile.
Now if FiveTen would just make a lighter SPD shoe..like the Sam Hill version on a diet with SPD that would be sweet.
Thanks guys.
i remember that day! crazy weather in mams!Protos, DRiff was also seen wearing them in 07

I was wondering about that when I saw the cover shot. It seemed a little awkward to me, but I figured that was where Bryn liked his cleat to be located or something.They are protos forsure, it didn't seem like they had the SPD cutout location sorted. They will be sick when they do make production (if they do).
street credWhat advantage would a spd 5.10 have over other spd shoes out there?
I have like 4 pairs of those lying around. Both the vans checkerboard ones, and the super sweet vans crossovers. If you look really closely, Jurgen Beneke has been making his comeback on some old school red crossovers. Best DH SPD shoes ever made.I remember Pete Loncarevich used to rock spd Vans BITD. I was dying to get my hands on a pair.
Ya, the asymmetrical tongue. The crossovers were a better shoes in my opinion. Both were super comfortable. As for them not lasting, I rode those blue and orange ones for about 3 years on and off (I had 2 pairs). The gray and orange ones i rode for about 2 season before the sole started to come off. When i threw them out, they were all wearing through the sole (usually heel peeling off, and worn around cleat).I think the second pic are the ones I was thinking of... Asymmetric tongue?
