Klaus Dyba pointed out Tobias Wicke's signature colorway Vans shoe to me otherwise I might have missed that boat completely. I was unaware he has been working on his signature shoe at Vans and Wham! there it was at the Eurobike show. Congrats to the German who is recovering from an injury the next coming months and can only represent with one shoe. The Flathead shoe looks solid. Is a bit on the big side but it was great to see the air cushioning which should make them comfortable to walk in and it will save your heels on those heavy landings too.

The shoe will be available on 1 January 2009 and has the following features:

Upper:

-Leather, suede & leather, or w-buck & leather
-Internal elastic tongue stays
-Molded Vanslite EVA sock liner
-Triple-stitched toe cap for durability
-Extra padded tongue and collar for comfort
Midsole:
Molded Megathane PU midsole with180-degree heel air unit
Outsole:
SBR/Gum rubber with Vans wafflegrip tread
Color:
Black/aqua blue
