"The Sleuth and Sleuth DLX are longstanding models in the Five Ten mountain bike shoe lineup. Both shoes have been popular among flat-pedal BMX and mountain bike riders seeking casually styled shoes that prioritize pedal feel and grip. The new Sleuth DLX 2 builds on that foundation, but with a vulcanized upper and an updated silhouette atop the grippy Stealth Phantom rubber outsole. These shoes are intended to perform on the bike and transition seamlessly into everyday life."
""With the Sleuth DLX 2, we wanted to create a shoe that reflects how today's riders actually live: moving seamlessly between the bike, the street, and everyday life," said Tom Louage, Senior Product Director of TERREX and Five Ten. "We are also excited to introduce an added layer of protection through the vulcanized upper that, at the same time, brings a fresher, street-forward look to the model.""
"The uppers give the shoes a decidedly casual style and everyday appeal. These shoes look like they'll be right at home on the bike and fit in just as well pretty much anywhere else. The vulcanized uppers are abrasion-resistant with reinforced stitching to stand up to the rigors of bike or city life. They reportedly have a "slingshot heel for a secure fit," as well as an EVA cushioned midsole for comfort."
The Sleuth DLX 2 updates Five Ten's Sleuth line with a vulcanized upper, refreshed silhouette, and the grippy Stealth Phantom rubber outsole. The vulcanized uppers are abrasion-resistant and feature reinforced stitching to handle both bike and city use. The design includes a slingshot heel for a secure fit and an EVA-cushioned midsole for comfort. The Stealth Phantom outsole retains the brand's dotty tread and aims to preserve the superior flat-pedal grip that made the lineup popular among BMX and mountain bike riders. The shoes retail for $135 and are available in multiple color options.
