Pearl Izumi has a MTB and BMX specific shoe for flat pedal mashing called the X-Alp Launch Mid WRX! These kicks were designed for offroad trail, dirt jump, pump track shredding. They even had trail diggers in mind when they made this kicks!! The outsoles are constructed by Goodyear tires for that grip, support and durability. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Press Release:
If you find yourself digging dirt jumps or railing loose and loamy trails, a bit of extra ankle protection can be a great thing. That’s why we made the Launch Mid WRX. This mid-top flat pedal shoe is constructed on the same platform as the Launch Flat, with added ankle and heel protection and a gusseted tongue to keep out dirt and debris. Because trail conditions can be highly variable, the Launch Mid WRX uses a water-repellent membrane to keep the elements at bay. Laces can be a hassle when covered in mud and grime so the Launch Mid WRX relies on a BOA® Fit System to make fit adjustments a breeze. The rubber experts at Goodyear® developed a compound that is sticky and long-wearing, which we mold into our chevron-shaped PinLoc tread to keep your feet planted and in control even in slippery conditions.
