Sidi GENIUS X VAPO Road Shoes - Black 2026

SIDI Genius X Vapo Road Shoes: The revolution of breathability and support

The SIDI Genius X Vapo takes the iconic Genius line to new heights of thermal performance. Engineered to "breathe," this shoe uses a technical open-cell knit upper to maximize airflow while maintaining SIDI's legendary durability. It is the perfect ally for high-heat rides and long efforts where moisture control is crucial.

Maximum ventilation and reinforced structure

The major innovation lies in its open-cell knit upper with TPU reinforcements. This construction offers significant weight savings and unmatched aeration. To ensure flawless support despite this flexibility, SIDI integrates Firmor X technology: an internal structure that wraps the arch to stabilize the foot and optimize closure tension.

Efficiency and micrometric precision

True to high-performance standards, the Vapo features the R3CC carbon composite sole (stiffness index 6), offering the perfect balance between power transfer and vibration filtering. The dual aluminum NUUN 001C system ensures an aerodynamic and surgically precise fit, even during intense efforts.
