BOA® FIT SYSTEM — Dual BOA® Li2 closure with alloy dials delivers a sleek, low-profile design and unprecedented durability. With incremental micro-adjustability in both directions, the Li2 system ensures a precision fit engineered to perform in the toughest conditions.
UNIDIRECTIONAL FORGED CARBON PLATE — Originally developed for motorsports, forged carbon can be molded into much more complex geometries than traditional carbon fiber composites, and better suited to details such as thickness transitions, cleat bolt holes, and compound curvature. The Imperial II plate is 20Nm stiffer than the previous version.
TPU MONOFILAMENT MESH — One-piece woven TPU monofilament mesh upper locks in power with the highest levels of comfort and breathability, eliminating seams and enhancing performance.
