MAAP and QUOC continue their partnership with a new limited edition of the Gran Tourer XC, a shoe crafted for those who seek performance, comfort, and style far beyond the tarmac.
If you’re after the ultimate pair for off-road adventures — one that never compromises on refinement — the MAAP x QUOC Gran Tourer XC in graphite deserves a top spot on your wish list.
On one side stands QUOC, the British cycling footwear brand founded in 2009 by Quoc Pham, renowned for blending classic shoemaking heritage with modern technical precision. On the other, MAAP, born in Melbourne in 2014, brings its unmistakable design sensibility, cutting-edge materials, and a commitment to performance with purpose.
The result is a shoe of rare balance: clean, understated graphite tones accented by subtle rose details on the sole and tongue, and a signature Alt_Road blue pull loop on the heel for function and flair. A perfect harmony of style, utility, and sophistication.
Technically, the abrasion-resistant ripstop microfiber upper ensures long-lasting durability, while a textured rubber rand around the toe, heel, and sides adds extra protection.
At just 327 g (size 42), the Gran Tourer XC combines a lugged TPU outsole for confident traction on mixed terrain with a carbon-reinforced midsole for stiffness and explosive power transfer.
Comfort hasn’t been overlooked: ergonomically placed perforations keep your feet cool on long, demanding rides, while the padded heel and gusseted tongue provide secure, all-day comfort.
The QUOC Dual Dial closure system — equivalent to the renowned BOA® — allows for precise, on-the-fly micro-adjustment with a simple twist.
In short, the MAAP x QUOC Gran Tourer XC isn’t just another cycling shoe — it’s a trusted companion built to take you anywhere, from mud-soaked singletracks to multi-day bikepacking escapes, and through the most demanding gravel races with confidence and style.
