Nimbl has presented its cycling shoe collection for 2026, focussing on a visual redesign while leaving the technical features unchanged. The Italian brand is focusing on a stronger visual identity and better recognisability of the shoes. different models. The most striking change concerns the toe and heel sections, which are now white instead of black and blend more seamlessly into the upper material. In addition, the model name is now clearly visible on the heel next to the logo, which is intended to emphasise the brand identity and the racing character of the shoes. According to Francesco Sergio, Managing Director and co-founder of Nimbl, this year's collection focuses on the visual identity while retaining the characteristics that cyclists value: "Lightness, precision and a direct connection to the bike."
Integration into the "Pro" family
A significant change in the collection is the official inclusion of the Glide and Air models in the Pro family. This development reflects the growing popularity of these shoes among sponsored athletes. According to Nimbl, this is a natural progression for the brand, as the quality of these models has already been proven in professional races, such as Jonas Vingegaard. The integration into the Pro line also means an adaptation of the design, which is now more in line with the products favoured by professional athletes. The closure systems are still based on BOA technology, with the exception of the Ultimate Air, which is equipped with a lacing system. The shoes are now available to order on the Nimbl website and from selected retailers and will gradually become available at all points of sale.
Technical continuity with high performance
From a technical point of view, the collection maintains the high performance standards for which Nimbl is renowned. An important innovation concerns the soles, which are now available for each model in both three- and four-hole configurations, allowing greater flexibility in the choice of pedals. The proven features such as ventilation, low weight and comfort remain unchanged. Nimbl's carbon monocoque chassis guarantees stiffness and maximum power transfer with every pedal stroke. The brand emphasises that its products are designed for long-term use and are continuously improved through research. "Our products are designed to last for many seasons. They are refined over time and through research," explains Francesco Sergio. With this philosophy, Nimbl emphasises its claim to offer high-quality and durable cycling shoes that are suitable for both professionals and ambitious amateur athletes.
Italian craftsmanship with contemporary design
With the redesign of the 2026 collection, Nimbl takes a further step in its evolution by refining the design while retaining the essence of the products. The brand combines elite performance with Italian craftsmanship and an increasingly distinctive and contemporary visual identity. Every cyclist now has the opportunity to choose shoes that combine these characteristics. The revision of the collection shows that Nimbl attaches great importance to continuity in the technical features, while at the same time modernising the design. The white toe and heel sections give the shoes a fresher look, while the clearer labelling of the model names makes them easier to identify. The integration of the Glide and Air models into the Pro family also emphasises the brand's high quality standards and the recognition that these models have already received in professional cycling.
Adaptability to different driver types
The 2026 collection from Nimbl is aimed at a broad spectrum of cyclists, from professional athletes to ambitious amateur athletes. By retaining the proven technical features while redesigning the look, Nimbl appeals to both performance-orientated and design-conscious customers. The option to choose between three- and four-hole configurations increases the flexibility and adaptability of the shoes to different pedalling types and riding styles. The Ultimate Air model with its minimalist lacing system offers an alternative for cyclists who prefer a simpler and lighter solution. The combination of high-quality materials, precise workmanship and well thought-out design makes the Nimbl shoes an attractive option for anyone who values quality and performance. The new collection once again emphasises Nimbl's claim to produce cycling shoes that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
