Dainese STREET ROCKER D-WP Shoes DARK BROWN

The Dainese Street Rocker D-WP Shoes, is meant to let you ride your bike in relative safety and still transition seamlessly to walking around off of it. These are among Dainese’s most popular styles in the sneaker line since they blend in so well and look like any other pair of stylish high tops. They’re mainly called Rocker since they’re meant to have a vintage look and take inspiration from café racing and rock music. The Dainese Street Rocker D-WP Boots will be coming in at a recommended retail price of about 170 Euros, or about 190 US Dollars. As such, they willll be competing with the Revit Jeffersons as well as the Revit Arrow Sneakers.

Material

The Dainese Street Rocker DWP Sneakers are made of cowhide leather, which will offer great abrasion resistance as well as helping prevent water from getting into the shoe. As far as the appearance of these shoes goes, Dainese are proud to say this is their handcrafted vintage effect, which means every pair of shoes will be unique to you. The Street Rockers use standard laces to stay shut and the sole is made of rubber. The shoe also comes in sizes 39-46 and, like most Dainese gear, these shoes will have a narrow fit.

Protection

Other than the cowhide the shoe is made of, the Dainese Street Rocker DWP Riding Shoes come with a decent level of protection. The shoes are CE Cat. 2 certified and feature CE Level 1 protectors. Dainese have included a nylon heel and rigid inserts on the ankles to protect your ankles better. This is the standard level of protection you usually see on these types of Dainese sneakers.

Comfort

Once broken in, these shoes will offer exceptional comfort since, after all, that’s what sneakers are for. Temperature-wise, these shoes use Dainese’s D-WP liner and are meant to be waterproof. Though this would ordinarily mean this will be a hot shoe, Dainese have attempted to manage this by including perforations along the sides of the shoe.

Summary

These shoes have delivered on their promise of a casual style shoe and trade-offs aside, it does reasonably well. Not to mention the novelty of the vintage look of the sneakers.
