Wichita, KS (1888PressRelease) June 22, 2011 - INVISTA's CORDURA® brand fabric is a key ingredient in the redesigned KURSK Pro shoe from Chrome Industries. The new design, featuring a 1000D CORDURA® Classic fabric upper, incorporates a SPD compatible sole that allows bikers to go from clipped to their wheels to walking the street in seconds.

A revamp of Chrome Industries' best selling shoe line, the low profile style KURSK Pro is built with all of the detailed bike functionalities as the rest of the shoe line, but incorporates Pro extras such as clip-in compatibility, full length nylon shank plate and foot rocker.

"When Chrome first started to think about getting into the footwear category, we looked for a fabric that we knew and trusted would be durable, rugged and highly weather resistant for use day in and day out," said Matt Sharkey, director of marketing for Chrome Industries. "The natural choice was CORDURA® brand fabric."

Chrome has used CORDURA® fabric in its line of messenger bags, packs and accessories for the past 15 years, satisfying the need for durable, functional and utilitarian gear ideal for urban living.

"We are excited to expand our involvement with Chrome Industries from their bag line to their growing shoe line," said Cindy McNaull, global brand manager and marketing director for the CORDURA® brand. "We take pride in providing optimum durability in on-the-go gear that helps get not only your stuff, but yourself, from point A to point B regardless of terrain."
