David Millar has had a colorful career on the bike – to say the least – and for his final season as a professional rider he’ll be wearing custom shoes from Fi’zi:k to honor his accomplishments. The company is actually releasing a pair that will be auctioned off for charity for the Small Steps Project.

2014 is to be David Millar’s last season of professional racing and he wants to celebrate it by linking his journey as a pro to a very special charity foundation.
David has been an enthusiastic fi’zi:k ambassador since fi’zi:k first started making shoes, and so we are proud to repay his loyalty by supporting him in this cause.
fi’zi:k will provide David with a different design of shoes for each of his last races, all these shoes will be auctioned to raise money to support the charity Small Steps Project.
An Eloquence Of Movement is not intended as a chronological record of David’s final season but rather an expression of his whole career – including all the ups and downs – told through a series of designs.
This is the first auction of around 20 pairs of shoes, which will be unveiled at David’s major races throughout the 2014 season, these are the first at Mallorca, 9-12 February. They are individually created to reflect both the specific race and its region, and to tell the emotional story of David’s involvement at this race – in 2014 and over the past two decades.
All the shoes have been specially designed by the VCRC Style Council in partnership with fi’zi:k designers, taking inspiration from the races, their history and environment, as well as David’s career. As with all fi’zi:k shoes they have been hand-made in Italy.
These unique shoes are size 44.5 euro.
