    Ask yourself, 'would I wear these to work/go out in?

    They are scarily yellow (obviously) but look at the white version or even better look at the Sidi 6.6 Genius in white/chrome and think about a nice sunny day on your best bike, which shoes are gonna get you a nod of respect - scary yellow or classy white, the choice of most of the Peloton. You are allowed those pearlescent Bettinis, but really you need to be 'Campionissimo' to carry those off.

    Look again at the logo on the shoe.

    Then click here to cure your consumerist desire, you will never look at the shoes in the same way again.

    I confess I yearned for a white pair when I first saw a pic. until someone asked me if I would be happy paying £150+ for a pair of shoes with a MacDonalds logo on them :D

    Yellow's fine just tell yourself it's extra hi-viz :P

    I've tried a pair on and like all adidas shoes I found them too narrow, phew! lucky escape I'd never get away hiding those.
