It's hard to find a part of the Links that Jeff didn’t directly influence. He showed us his pedal; we designed a sole that integrates with it. He showed us the busted toe on his last shoe; we added a flexible armor across the forefoot. He showed us his wet, muddy shoes; we found ion-mask™ technology that actually prevents the materials on the Links from absorbing water on a molecular level (true story). We built this shoe for Jeff, but anyone who has ever gotten on a mountain bike will appreciate his influence.

T.I.D.E. GRIP

• Our Spider365 Rubber sole will hold its grip in all kinds of environments.
• The sole of the Links was designed specifically to interface with the unique platform of a bike pedal.
• Aggressive tread designs at the toe and heel will grip the dirt when you're hoofin' it.
• Teva E-Brake in the heel features a reverse lug pattern to give you downhill traction when you're off your bike.
• A rigid heel stabilizer keeps your foot centered in the shoe

T.I.D.E. HYDRO

• ion-mask™ technology actually prevents the materials in this shoe from absorbing any water on a molecular level. It sounds like sci-fi, but it's real.
• Waterproof materials throughout the shoe make it easy to wash the mud off.

T.I.D.E. COMFORT

• A rubberized grid over the toe area is a breathable armor that prevents abrasion or ripping Leather and mesh upper.
• A Shoc Pad™ in the heel makes for a smooth ride.
• Extra padding throughout the upper softens your landings.
• Strong plastic wraps around the back of the shoes to protect your heel.
• Elastic gores on the tongue give you a snug fit.
• Our Mush® Infused Insole brings the absurd comfort of our flip flops into a shoe.

“We all get dressed for Bill,” says Vogue editrix Anna Wintour. The “Bill” in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours”. Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair.
