The Empire SLX II brings an even sleeker shape to the Giro icon, with all-new flat knitted Synchwire upper combining the lowest weight paired with the highest levels of comfort and breathability. The unique knitted mesh construction builds the venting into the upper with durability reinforced by a thermally bonded TPU skin. 7 classically-positioned lace eyelets provide unmatched comfort and conformity, while power is delivered by an all-new forged carbon fiber outsole plate which improves the stiffness by 2Nm, all in a featherweight 195gm package. The Empire SLX II is simply the best iteration of the shoe that redefined laces.

All-new Synchwire upper and forged carbon outsole combine for a ultra-lightweight, supremely efficient update to the icon that reimagined laces

Key Features:

• One‐piece woven TPU monofilament mesh upper locks in power with the highest levels of comfort and breathability, eliminating seams and enhancing performance.
• 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 Empire SLX II plate is 20Nm stiffer than the previous version.
• Our Supernatural Fit System includes footbead and adjustable arch support with Low, Medium, and High arch support chips. Adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing the chances of common foot discomforts like numbness, hotspots, and cramping.
