PEARL iZUMi has been putting out some phenomenal products over the years, yet over the past few seasons, they’ve turned up their designs a notch or two. Evidence in this can be found with their new footwear, launching in August. Now, these images are a teaser, if you will, of what’s to come. Let’s look at some of these new models below.

PEARL iZUMi features a lifestyle of living lightly with its Crew members Dillon Caldwell and Nicole Pressprich who built up a cargo van to lessen their impact on the world around them. They travel around competing in gravel races and events throughout the Western United States. They have learned in the process of living in a limited space all of the things they don’t need, and only keeping the items of value to them.

Lyons, Colorado is home to Reeb Cycles, a framebuilder that makes mountain-ready bikes in the old Oscar Blues brewery barn. After watching this video by Pearl Izumi and Shimano, take a look at their models online. They look pretty rowdy! Just like a 60-series in the driveway at the barn!
