PEARL IZUMI - The Leading Cycling and Running  Apparel & Footwear Brand.

It is with pleasure we announce the Irish  Debut of the Pearl Izumi Streak Racer in the 2007  Dublin City Marathon. Gary Crossans shoe of choice  was the Pearl Izumi Streak Racer. Gary finished the Marathon this year in an excellent 2.26.58 and was extremely pleased with the performance of this Top class shoe.

According to Gary "it is one of the most comfortable and better fitting Race shoes he has worn" and he really could not fault it.

Gary went on to say that he would highly recommend the Streak Racer and feels it would benefit many Athletes as their "Race Shoe of choice".

With some of the race shoes offering little or no cushioning, the Pearl Izumi Streak Racing shoes have our " Skydex Technology" forefoot for excellent foot strike and Toe off.

Gary Crossan  has been Irish National Marathon Champion for four consecutive years. In 2002 he was the top Irish finisher in the  Dublin Marathon clocking up a time of 2:20:16 and the National Marathon Champion in Belfast with a time of 2:24:20. He was the top Irish finisher at the 2003 Dublin Marathon, finishing 6th overall in a time of 2:20:27 and continued his championship tally with times of 2:24:07 in 2004 and 2:23:19 in 2005. He has also been Irish National Half-Marathon Champion.

As you can imagine, if you are running the type of distance Tony is Running, you need to be in the best.That is why Tony Mangans chooses PEARL IZUMI.See Tony's Feelings on Pearl Izumi Below.
' My last ultra race was the ' Across The Years ' 72 hour race in Arizona. I ran in Pearl Izumi Syncro Floats and found the shoes to be very tough, durable yet very light and comfortable. The apparel was both stylish and warm.

 In the last hour I changed into a fresh pair of Syncro Floats and couldn't believe the feeling... As the name says I felt I was floating and ran my best hourly total of almost 11.5km for that last hour. It was a very tough race and at times I felt the shoes were doing the running!

It was my first time to race in Pearl Izumi shoes and I reckon their incredible cushioning helped my recover immensely. I look forward to wearing Pearl Izumi again and have been spreading the word.'
