A Tribute to a Cycling Icon

Northwave and Filippo Ganna share a legacy built on speed, power, and relentless innovation. The Italian cycling powerhouse has been an integral part of Northwave’s journey, shaping the brand’s most advanced footwear designs through years of racing and rigorous testing. Now, Northwave honours this partnership with a special edition of its flagship shoe, the Veloce Extreme, which earned the prestigious iF Design Award for Best Cycling Footwear in 2024.

Veloce Extreme x Ganna: Engineered for Champions

Designed with input from Ganna himself, the Top Ganna Veloce Extreme isn't just a tribute—it's a product of extensive testing and development by Northwave’s elite athletes. Over 50 professional cyclists, including Ganna, put in hundreds of hours of testing in real-world and lab-controlled environments to refine every detail of the shoe.

At the heart of this engineering marvel is the Powershape HT sole, featuring Northwave’s exclusive High Tail (HT) design. This breakthrough in cycling shoe technology delivers:

4% improved power transfer compared to previous models
9% enhanced foot stability, ensuring maximum efficiency with every pedal stroke

These advancements make the Top Ganna Veloce Extreme a must-have for serious cyclists looking to gain a competitive edge.
