Adidas has unveiled an insulated version of its SPD-compatible Velosamba Cycling Shoes.<\/p>\n

The Velosamba Cold.Rdy shoes are designed for cold-weather commuting and use a new construction that sees 50 per cent recycled plastic used in the upper material.<\/p>\n

Alongside the Velosamba Cold.Rdy, Adidas has also released The Cold.Rdy Cycling Jacket, which joins the padded Cold.Rdy Cycling Bib Tights in the brand\u2019s winter-cycling range.<\/p>\n

Adidas only re-entered the cycling market two years ago after a 15-year hiatus.<\/p>\n

The Velosamba Cold.Rdy isn\u2019t quite as casual as the regular Velosamba<\/a>, but the soul of Adidas\u2019 Classic Samba shoe can still be seen in its design.<\/p>\n

Adidas says this insulated version extends your comfort zone in cold weather, while still retaining the Samba style.<\/p>\n

To increase pedalling efficiency, Adidas has given the Velosamba Cold.Rdy a nylon and glass fibre plate midsole.<\/p>\n

The brand says the midsole still has some flex to aid in comfortable walking, which should enable you to continue to wear the Velosamba Cold.Rdy when you\u2019re off the bike.<\/p>\n

The sole features a two-bolt cleat mount, which allows for Shimano SPD<\/a> and similar pedal compatibility.<\/p>\n

Cold.Rdy is Adidas\u2019 insulative material, which it claims keeps you warm without being clammy.<\/p>\n

Adidas has also included more reflective accents than the regular Velosamba, with the outer of the shoes and the brand\u2019s iconic three stripes using a reflective material to help with low-light visibility when riding at night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Laces and chainrings aren\u2019t always the best combination, but Adidas has included an elastic bungee to prevent loose ends drifting into the drivetrain.<\/p>\n

The Velosamba Cold.Rdy is only available in black and can be purchased through Adidas\u2019 website for \u00a3130\/$170\/\u20ac150.<\/p>\n
