Limited Edition Five Ten Shoe At Ironworks
The Five Ten Team LE (Limited Edition) will be making a brief appearance at Berkeley Ironworks this month. Similar to the popular V10, this radical down turned shoe with a velcro closure, was inspired by the Jet7 Dragon and 5x shoes. Only 510 pairs of the Team LE were produced and the shoe will be not available again until spring of 2010.
Touchstone retail buyer, Patti Phillips, was able to get her hands on a size run of the great shoes from Five Ten and Berkeley Ironworks will be stocking the model in mid August.
Kevin Jorgenson, a Santa Rosa climber and high ball hardman, gives a great testimonial over at his blog.
Here's a video of Dave Graham doing the first ascent of Big Worm, a V13/14 at Mt. Evans Colorado in a pair of the Team LEs.
