QUOC just launched the all-new Lalashan Collection, which features four new pairs of cycling and lifestyle shoes inspired by the nature-rich forests of Northern Taiwan’s Lalashan Mountain Range. Take a look at the London-based brand’s latest offerings here…
Unveiled this morning, QUOC’s Lalashan Collection is a range of new footwear that draws design inspiration from the abundant mushrooms found throughout the Lalashan Mountain Range in Northern Taiwan. The collection abounds with earthy pastel-colored shoes and organic patterns that mimic those found in nature.
All four models in the Lalashan Collection are brand new, and there’s likely to be something for everyone. The Escape Off-Road (and Escape Road, which we won’t cover here) represents the start of a newly developed product line that has a relatively low price tag without sacrificing quality or durability. The Gran Tourer XC is a top-end version of the brand’s best-selling Gran Tourer range with a carbon midsole and dual dial closure. The Lana Slide is a lightweight flip-flop designed for post-ride comfort. Take a quick look at all of them below.
QUOC Gran Tourer XC
Representing the culmination of four years of tweaking and improving the original Gran Tourer shoe, the new QUOC Gran Tourer XC is what they call the “ultimate off-road adventure shoe.” The cross-country model features a stiff carbon composite outsole housed in a TPU tread, QUOC’s own Dual Dial closure system for a more precise fit and fewer hot spots, and an abrasion-resistant microfibre outer with rubber toe cap protection. They come with replaceable toe spikes and three arch inserts to enhance the fit.
QUOC’s Gran Tourer XCs weigh in at 342 grams in size EU43 and are priced at a hefty $310 USD (€275 EUR/£240 GBP). They are available now in whole sizes from EU38-47 and come in Dusty Pink, Black, and Charcoal. Find details at QUOC.cc, and look for our first-ride review shortly.
QUOC Escape Off-Road
Featuring a fresh look in the mountain bike space, the new Escape Off-Road blends trail durability with a streamlined aesthetic typically found on road shoes. It has a glass fiber-reinforced nylon outside designed to provide the ideal amount of stiffness on the downward stroke and has a toe cap guard and an easy-to-clean upper built to protect against abrasion. The Escape Off-Road has a QUOC Single Dial closure system, TPU tread, and a spike socket.
The QUOC Escape Off-Road weighs 311 grams in size EU43 and comes with a price tag of $200 USD (€185 EUR/£150 GBP). It’s available now in whole sizes from EU38-47 and is offered in Sand, Amber, and Black. You can see full details at QUOC.cc, and stay tuned for our full review in the coming weeks. Note that there’s also an Escape Road version that’s pictured in yellow in the main image above, but we aren’t discussing it here today.
QUOC Lala Slide
Created to bring minimalist elegance and casual comfort to the humble shower slide, the QUOC Lala Slide is a good-looking, lightweight flip-flop constructed with an anatomically designed footbed that boasts excellent cushioning and airflow, extra-thick microfiber straps, and an anti-slip outdoor tread. They’re the first offering in QUOC’s new “Athleisure” category, and we’re interested to see what follows.
QUOC’s Lala Slides weigh just 150 grams in size EU43 and will set you back $50 USD (€45 EUR/£39 GBP). They’re shipping now in whole sizes from EU38-47 and come in Amber, Dusty Pink, Black, and Sand. You can learn more over at QUOC.cc.
