Northwave Extreme PRO 3 Shoes White Black

The Northwave Extreme PRO 3 shoes are the result of incessant research and the brand's constant consultation with cyclists of the stature of Filippo Ganna, to achieve a professional level product. ARS (Anatomic Reticular Support) technology provides an exoskeleton that wraps around the feet with an exceptional fit, adapting to different foot types and transferring power to the pedal in a uniform and controlled manner. The ergonomic Powershape 15 sole, made of unidirectional carbon fibre (compatible with Speedplay/Wahoo pedals) is designed to provide arch support for exceptional pedalling efficiency. The 3 strategically placed air inlet ports in the sole guarantee cool feet even during a summer heat wave. The SLW3 double dial and the dual zone closure offer the possibility to differentiate the pressure in the toe area and on the upper part of the instep.

Technology:

• S.L.W.3 Closing System

The new SLW3 developed by X-Dial is totally unique and offers an ultra-fast micrometric closure. This compact mechanism is very light and intuitive, just turn the dial for a quick precise closing. The side button gradually releases the lock so you can enjoy even micrometric control when driving.

• ARS (Anatomic Reticular Support)

The arch support system uses the lattice structure to wrap the foot evenly from the sole to the instep. With its special design, the ARS technology, together with the X-Dial SLW3 dual locking system, creates a modular cage that keeps the foot in the correct position on all surfaces, regardless of whether you're on or off the road. Prevents pressure build-up on the plantar fascia, a cause of inflammation and pain. The increased stiffness resulting from the combination of ARS technology and carbon fibre sole sends even more power to the pedal so you feel in harmony with the ground beneath your feet. Improved stability gives you a more circular pedal stroke and ensures even pedal power; the pressure distribution for the closure is now spread over two zones (toe and instep area), meaning it can be precisely differentiated to suit the shape of your foot. This allows effortless transfer of energy to the ground, even after many hours in the saddle.

• Powershape Carbon 15

Made of 100% unidirectional carbon, it has been developed to ensure that 100% of the rider's power is transferred to the pedals without wasting energy. The secret lies in the unique patented Powershape arch system; dozens of prototypes have been created to find the perfect shape and thickness to fit all feet and arches. It also has a special adapter, so it is compatible with Speedplay pedals and Speedplay pedals.
