yo,
i heard marzo is making shoes. ok, i heard they are stamping their name on 5.10 shoes. anyone know about this? anyone got pics?

 

[BMXman]

let the e-specualtion begin

 

[ride26]

havn't heard that but if it's true i know what shoe i'm getting next

 

[Polandspring88]

I heard the tread consists of huge M's all over the place, just like the tires. Those things will be f'in sweet.

Because its a proven fact of physics that "M's" provide the best possible traction of any shape

 

[TheMontashu]

I saw them at sea otter, they look SICK.

I actually read a study done by Marzocchi that showed their M shape pattern actually provides more grip than the existing tread patterns. By creating a network of interspersely mixed Ms they are able to create the greatest contact path with the desired surface, and with the sharp junctions of the rubber in the M shape they can do things ordinary treads wont.

I hope to god you're joking.

Having M's all over the place is about as stupid as WTB's little footprints tread pattern......retarded.

I saw a pic, too of some re-badged 5.10s with a Marzocchi logo on them. http://www.singletrackworld.co.uk/maybe?

i heard the legs of the "M" shapes will point down like mini-cleats that hug your pedals for extra grip.

Of course I'm kidding, the M tread pattern is about as cool as AIDS.

Hey! My cat has aids

 

[Polandspring88]

Hey! My cat has aids

Precisely, it is not cool at all. Sorry to hear about the cat, I shall say a prayer for it tonight.

 

[TWISTED]

I talked to Brian Peterson from Marzocchi about hooking me up with a pair. He says they won't be available till around Interbike. They only had a few early pairs to show off at Sea Otter. The shoes have the same soles as the 5.10's.

i just checked the marzo site for "soft goods." i could not find shoes, but i did find a $14 bit-o plastic

18 cents for the plastic and forming,
3 cents for the sticker,
over $13 dollars of profit $$$

ps - $10 of "shipping taxes" for a grand total of $24. BA-LING!!!CHA-CHING!!

 

[bikenweed]

The M tread pattern works super good in the air, and that's the only thing that matters, 'cuz if you're not in the air, you're a pussy.

 

[Zia Monkey]

There is a pretty good pic of them in the latest Decline mag.

 

[DamienC]

From the pits at Sea Otter...

 

[mandown]

I Want Them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

i like em Mork

 

[sayndesyn]

I Want Them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fashion Whore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mandown]

Fashion Whore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn skippy i am
i will be on a pink bike with a white fork and i want white shoes to go with it. i will have black cranks too. that means i am coverd with the cool colors. black is cool. pink became the new black. then white became the new pink, again replacing black. my pink/black/white ride will be the coolest ever!!! those shoes will totaly match my rig :love:

oh yeah, i am might have to get green plates on my 5050xx pedals to set myself apart.

 

[jonKranked]

what exactly is that thing? a science beaker/flask thingie? does marzocchi have Bill Nye the Science Guy working for them now?

 

[mandown]

it is a graduated cylinder. that means it got out of high school and did not just get a GED

i think the idea is that you can use it to meaure the oil you use to fill your fork. i bet the manuals use metric units and the cylinder only has imperial measurement markings.

 

[ghettogt76]

Saw 'em at sea otter, the colors are definately cooler than my current 510's.

 

[bizutch]

Yeah...I tried my best to convince Eric to run some white or gray on the first run but he wanted to play it safe and just go straight black and see how they sold first before they worried about color combos. Plus, now all they gotta do is make them and let Marzocchi market them.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking!

 

[Kntr]

When will the shoes be out?

 

[Monkeybidnezz]

Yeah, I saw them in decline too...I personally think they look better than the 5 10 offering. I hope they make a set like the white pair but in a darker color...so the dirt doesn't show. Sweet..

 

[Red Bull]

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking!

apparently great minds think alike....


**** why cant i be one of them

 

[TheMontashu]

Hey! My cat has aids

You can blame loco or n8 for that

[Mugger]

Hooray, white 5.10's, look very hot!
