Ikasu Air is a certified & breathable motorcycle shoe perfect for use in mild temperatures. It offers the casual look & comfort of a sneaker & is ideal for everyday use. The reinforcing D30® inserts on the ankles, the protectors on the toe & heel & the strap protection in rubber guarantee maximum protection. The highly breathable Ortholite® insole with durable cushioning gives the shoe a high level of comfort. Maximum protection is guaranteed by the special Zplate® insert in molded polymer that, thanks to its Z-shape, combines transverse stiffness for maximum safety & longitudinal flexibility. Zplate® allows the shoe to follow all the natural movements of the foot both in the saddle & when walking. At the same time, the technology protects against compression of the shoe in the event of an impact. The upper is made from reflective mesh fabric with suede inserts & features side lacing. An elastic zipper at the front makes it easy to put on & take off. The abrasion-resistant Groundtrax® sole features a textured tread pattern that ensures maximum grip on any surface.

The ZPLATE shank in the midsole keeps the right flexibility of the shoe, for an optimal riding & walking comfort, ensuring at the same time the transverse rigidity to protect the foot, in case it would be crushed under the vehicle. Groundtrax® outsoles Groundtrax® outsoles are engineered to ensure stability, grip & traction both on the footpegs & once got off the saddle. This is due to the design of lugs & grooves, as well as the choice of the rubber compound, which also maximize the wear-resistance & self-cleaning of the tread. The sole is featured by a dedicated gear shift area, to provide an higher precision during the ride. D3O® inserts In its raw form the D3O® molecules flow freely, thanks to their non-Newtonian nature, allowing the material to be soft & flexible. On impact, the D3O® molecules lock together, absorb & dissipate the energy from impacts, significantly reducing the amount of force that gets transmitted to the body compared to standard materials.
