The Xnetic Knit upper, designed for the specific needs of cyclists, gives the Republic R Knit a distinctive style. An internal TPU skeleton system provides support where it's needed, while the knit fits as comfortably as a sock. The upper has been treated to be permanently water-repellent and is easy to clean. A rubberized toe cap and a bonded TPU heel area enhance durability and abrasion resistance. A co-molded outsole made of nylon and rubber ensures greater durability and grip, providing a secure footing on the road, sidewalk, and gravel when you're not on the bike.
