On the Radar


Reveals, New Launches and Gear


Rapha Pro Team Shadow

Rapha’s all-new Pro Team Shadow collection is designed to revolutionize variable-weather cycling apparel. The collection includes a jersey-and-bib combo that is made from a stretch-woven material. The kit is designed to keep wind out, but still allow heat to escape, keeping you cool and comfortable. The fabric is treated with a DWR coating that beads water and keeps you completely dry. The sleek black colorway features Rapha’s signature minimalist design and uncompromising quality.

Wilson Glide Tennis Shoe

If you dream of playing like tennis greats, this shoe is a step in the right direction. Wilson’s new Glide tennis shoe is designed to allow players to slide more easily on hardcourt. The benefit, Wilson says, is helping you to get to the next ball quicker. A strategically placed glide plate made from polyethylene provides a controlled slide when you need it while high-traction rubber Duralast provides plenty of grip.
