Five Ten ... Adidas

Looks like it days Hf in the lower right of the picture of the shoe stand.  Curious to see how these will be.

Design is a lot uglier than the original, but the toe patch could be handy.

Haha!  Wow, you’ve got a good eye.

RIP Five Ten. Mad Rock anyone?

New shoes look so much better, but it's not like I buy climbing shoes to look good.

No

So Five Ten posted some more pics from the industry event in Germany...apparently the Aleon was developed by Fred Nicole, who also developed the Dragons.  Super psyched for those...they look like a pointier version of the Teams.

I'm excited for them too- a Hiangle crossed with a Team and updated materials. Not excited for the 1 year wait time.

It clearly says C4, you need glasses.

It says Hf in the picture for the Dragons.  You need to look at the correct picture.

Dragons have traditionally used HF and will hopefully continue to do so.  Brilliant stuff.

Some more updates on the Aleon...sounds very promising.  Hopefully this new Adidas shoe tech will help improve climbing shoes.

Could've used more marketing buzz words.

"collaboration with Adidas"

That's like saying Infinity collaborated with Nissan on a new car. Even though climbing shoe industry has really been lagging behind in general with the pace of advance shoe manufacturing tech, having 4 way stretch on a tongue is hardly groundbreaking in the scheme of things.

Looks like a decent shoe and glad they're moving away from some of their last. 5.10 has been behind in lasts for a while in climbing and biking. They're not all bad don't get me wrong, but don't even get me started on their clipless shoe fit *puke*

Thought this might be an appropriate place to put this.

I want to give a shout-out to the Adidas Outdoor team. I've had a pair of 5.10 Rogues for almost three years and they always stain my feet blue. When I first bought them, I figured it would stop at some point. After a while, I just got used to it.

A few weeks ago, I did a long multipitch in the shoes and at the top, I was wiping dye off the soles of my feet onto some rocks. My feet looked like smurf feet. I sent Adidas a pic and just gave them a heads up. The shoes are so old, I wasn't expecting anything. They've been resoled, the leather is tearing in a few places, and they smell. I worked with Dana and she just sent me a brand new pair of Rogues. She said they've known some of the first runs had issues with the dye and that they've since sorted it out, but was sorry I've been putting up with it for so long. Props to Adidas for handling it in the absolute best way.

collaborated with nike?

Nah. That flat knit technology they're using there you can find just about anywhere in China or Vietnam now.
