Urbanner Gore-Tex limited edition sneakers

Italian specialist TCX premiered their new Urbanner Gore-Tex sneakers at EICMA in an exclusive limited edition . The company says that “ having been the first company to introduce bikers ’ sneakers onto the market , we have now reached a new milestone by producing an original footwear model designed for city use that perfectly combines style with comfort and safety ”. The “ bold personality of these sneakers stems from the sole , the revolutionary design of which draws its inspiration from the trendiest sports footwear ”. Available in three colour versions , the sole is made with a special non-slip compound and features specific groove patterns , arranged at the forefoot and heel . These are said to “ encourage water to flow away and ensure
maximum traction . The central body of the sole is made of coloured TPU and stands out for its triangular design tread that guarantees the utmost stability on the peg ”. The upper is made with “ the finest full grain leather ”, 1.4 / 1.6 mm in thickness , and the comfortable fit is said to be due to ergonomic padding in the ankle area and an “ anatomically specific design supplemented by a special Gore-Tex Extended Comfort Footwear membrane to prevent water seeping in and allow sweat to escape , thereby guaranteeing protection , breathability and outstanding climate comfort ”. The Urbanner model has reinforcements in all the most exposed areas , such as the heel counter , ankle and toe .
