We surprised former World Champion Danny Hart with some custom made AM9 gravity shoes with his own design at the 1st Round of the 2018 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Losinj. This marks the first time Shimano has created a completely custom shoe for an athlete. Well deserved we'd say!

Danny's custom AM9 features a black upper and a gum sole with his name and logo on the strap, including smaller details around the heel of the shoe.

It's a new team and new start for the former World Champion.
