A simple slim-profile sneaker with world-class fit. We’ve taken our home-grown California style, mountain biking expertise and our climbing-inspired high-friction rubber and designed a casual, lifestyle shoe that is as comfortable on a slackline as it is peddling to the local coffee shop. The BA51C has a low-profile fit and new non-marking RED Stealth® Phantom outsole. A modern uptake on the “grom” sneaker.

Strengths:
Look and functionality by far!
Weaknesses:
None really, but it seems the bottom of the shoe seperate from the side of the shoe and they wear out kind of quickly. Pricey too :-/

Bottom Line:
Aside of the wearing out quickly this shoe grips like a SOB. It also looks pretty awesome too and can be worn everyday.
There is no doubt that this shoe was made to grip.
For example, I pop this wheelie off the ground and I get a little over zealous and I end up on my back. Why? Because the shoe gripped so damn well I didn't get off my pedals fast enough!
The only low point about these shoes to really speak of is the price, but also for the price you get one damn grippy shoe!
If you really wanna shred it up, this shoe is perfect. And I will definitely by another pair when the ones I have become useless.
