[Waterproof] Panthera Gore-Tex Neo Black

New Pantera "Neo Black"

It features Gaerne's latest technology, breathable microfiber material, waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex, and an ultra-rigid sole. In addition, it uses the latest buckle system "Type D" developed by Gaerne . This is the same buckle system as Gaerne's latest top-of-the-line MX boot "SG-22", and it has evolved to be sturdy and stylish while remaining lightweight. The strap base (base part) also uses a rivet system.

The coloring is all black, returning to the original concept of the Pantera's development. However, it's not just a solid black color; gray stitching creates a three-dimensional effect, resulting in a chic yet striking design. The sole is also a dark gray, giving it a sophisticated impression.

Combining functionality and design, the Neo Black is sure to enhance your riding enjoyment even further.

What is Pantera?

The Panthera, launched in Japan in 2021, is a waterproof riding boot designed for all weather conditions, jointly developed by GAERNE and JAPEX over a three-year period. From city riding to adventure riding, it supports riders' feet on and off the road.
The matte black upper and thick compound sole give a chic and sporty impression, making the design suitable for everyday use as well as on the bike.
The development concepts are: "Can be used in any situation," "Rigid to protect the feet," "Easy to put on and take off," "Waterproof and breathable," "Highly abrasion-resistant sole," and "Good foot grip."
It is packed with features that meet the rider's needs, pursuing safety and comfort. This is a product that Japex is proud of. Since its release, its design and functionality have been highly praised, and it has quickly become a best-selling product.

Recently, the machine that makes the soles of Panthera shoes has broken down, making it impossible to produce Panthera shoes.
Gaerne is currently developing a new sole and is working to deliver the Panthera equipped with it.
We apologize for keeping you waiting, but please look forward to the new Pantera. We will update this page with the expected delivery dates.

Product details

Breathable Microfiber

The breathable properties of microfiber, an innovative evolution that has led to it being called breathable synthetic leather, combined with the highly waterproof GORE-TEX, keep the environment inside the shoe always good.
In addition, its excellent abrasion and cut resistance protects your feet in a wide range of riding environments.
The soft texture of microfiber makes it comfortable to wear right from the day you buy it, and unlike natural leather, it doesn't require any "break-in" period. It's a durable, sturdy material that requires little care.

GORE-TEX

The trusted GORE-TEX material combines waterproof durability, wind resistance, and breathability at an advanced level, keeping out water from the outside while allowing moisture to pass through from the inside, ensuring a comfortable environment inside the shoe.
Another attractive feature is its excellent durability as a material that maintains its performance for a long time.
To fully realize its potential, GORE-TEX is only permitted to be used in products that meet strict performance standards. In this product, combined with the excellent breathability of microfiber, it provides a dry and comfortable feeling at all times.

Buckle System

The buckle system allows for quick and easy locking and releasing, making it easy to put on and take off, and suitable for various riding styles, both on and off. The straps can be fine-tuned in 3mm increments.

Sole

The unique sole, developed to suit the Panthera concept, has a firm rigidity that protects your feet in the event of an accident. It is also highly resistant to wear.
The shape is wide and thick enough to provide a comfortable fit and stable foot placement.
The compound sole is flat on the inside and blocky on the outside, making it suitable for a variety of situations.

Each product is handmade by artisans at the Gaerne factory in the Veneto region of Italy.
