CHPT3 debuts new sneaker-style Transit city riding shoes that promise to walk silently, plus they teases a limited edition Brompton bike!
Designed by James Carnes and his footwear brand Priority Athletic, the CHPT3 Transit shoes do look to pack in some cool tech, maybe most importantly based around the concept of comfortable & silent walking off-the-bike.
That relies on a flexible sneaker sole with a large recess pocket that makes sure your SPD cleats don’t click on the ground as you walk. That deep pocket seems to avoid interference with pedals by pairing an open & flexible tread around the cleat opening – that should be able to deform against your pedal – with a more solid rubber tread across the rest of the shoe for walking support & durability.
For pedaling support, there’s a reinforced central O.W.N. microplate that is stiff at the cleat, but distributes forces in two directions so the rest of the sole can flex normally when walking. The same OWN microplate reinforces the flat pedal shoes, just without the cutout.Officially a collaboration for Brompton in this first limited run of 500 numbered pairs of shoes, the new CHPT3 Transits come in two color combos – white/light gray or dark gray/black.
The shoes are entirely made in Germany, and are available in either a 205€ version for flat pedals or the clipless-ready 225€ version with recessed SPD cleat attachment. The new Transits come in whole EU sizes from 38-45, and are officially for sale today as a pre-order. Shoe delivery is slated for next month, in March 2023.We actually know next to nothing about the upcoming Brompton x CHPT3 collaboration for a limited edition V4 bike, other than what we can guess from their teaser images.
