Sidi Dominator Fit Men's Shoes $249.99
Dominating, even among roadies.
You've been riding, and Sidi has been watching. And what did Sidi see? Well, it saw that you've been riding your old Dominators for far more than just simple trail riding. In fact, cyclocross and all-mountain riding has taken over as the Dominator's primary function. That's why Sidi gave the classic design a face lift with the new Dominator Fit Shoes. Wait, Fit? Yes, the Fit is newest iteration of Sidi's long-running and immensely popular Dominator 5. It now has a new upper and a softer tread compound that will increase breathability and grip.
Sidi constructed the uppers of the Dominator Fit shoes from its new Technomicro material. Essentially, this is a composite microfiber that's created from strands that are so fine that each one is less than one-thousandth the thickness of silk. These fibers act like a natural leather skin, only with the advantage of increased strength, soft texture, and light weight. Water-repellent, quick-drying, breathable, and permeable to water vapor, it's obviously ideal for shoe uppers. It's abrasion- and mildew-resistant, as well, making it far easier to clean than leather. Additionally, this material is resistant to stretching and deterioration from atmospheric agents. And to keep your feet from getting too warm, mesh inserts were added throughout the uppers.
Sidi's hallmark Caliper Buckle has been incorporated for retention. This two-way ratchet allows for micro-adjusts of the strap pressure in order to ensure that the fit of your upper won't be too loose or too tight. It's mated to a Soft Arch Compression Strap that evenly spreads the upward stroke pedaling forces across the top of your foot. The buckle provides four-clicks per uptake along with half-click releases. Essentially, this means that you're able to precisely tension the pressure of the strap. No other system provides more of a gentle and precise customizable fit. You also get the precision of two High Security hook-and-loop straps for volume adjustability. Its padded tongue with fit "relievers" is one final small (but important) detail that helps deliver unparalleled comfort.
At the outsole, Sidi demonstrated it's vast knowledge of what you're actually using its shoes for. New to this year, the Dominator features a softer tread compound that's more suited for the sands and slick surfaces of cyclocross. Accordingly, your ability to grip variable surfaces is enhanced, which will result in faster times and less headaches. Additionally, Sidi included its Sidi Reinforcement Plate at the cleat connection point in order to increase durability across the outsole. However, Sidi states that this plate is not necessary for Shimano-style cleats if you're looking to shave grams.
The Sidi Dominator Fit Mountain Bike Shoes are available in the color Black and in whole and half sizes from 38.0 to 48.0. Sidi is also offering these shoes in wide sizes from 40.5 to 46.0.

The fake leather rubber coating thats over the front of these shoes bubbled up and tore within weeks. Usually this happens when winter hits and it gets wet, but this was not the case. I now have to find replacement shoes because these were my least durable shoes that I have ever purchased from any company.

Slideshow: Two Takes on Stretchy Circuits
Breakthroughs in the United States and Japan allow for stretchable circuits, curved camera chips, and more
Photo: John A. Rogers/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Last week, researchers at the University of Illinois, led by materials science professor John A. Rogers, reported in Nature the creation of an electronic eye using an array of photodetectors that can be stretched across the back of an artificial eyeball. This photo shows a completed electronic-eye camera mounted on a printed circuit board. A curved photodetector array, like the human eye's retina, lets a camera produce sharp images with optics that are less complicated than those required for a planar array, such as the one in a digital camera.
Photo: John A. Rogers/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The artificial eye was made possible by breakthroughs in the production of electronics that bend, stretch, and twist. Pictured is a cluster of silicon photodetectors (squares) interconnected by thin, arcing metal ribbons. These arches allow the electronic circuits to be stretched over a round surface like an eyeball or over the corners of a cube.
Photo: John A. Rogers/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Earlier this year, the Illinois team reported that it had produced stretchable circuits, silicon ribbons onto an expanded plastic substrate. When the plastic is allowed to contract, it causes the circuit layer to form folds and wrinkles. These wrinkles are what make it possible to subsequently stretch or fold the circuit without breaking it.
Photo: John A. Rogers/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
A milestone in bendable circuits came in January when Rogers's group reported having created CMOS circuits —the digital logic that dominates chips today—on plastic. For the most part, CMOS circuits draw power only when they are switching from one state to another. Low power operation in bendable and stretchable circuits is needed to keep them from melting the plastic substrate. This photo shows a CMOS test circuit called a ring oscillator.
Photo: Science/AAAS
Researchers in Japan reported last week in Science that they had produced a stretchable, rubberized electronic circuit sheet. In it, printed organic transistors are connected by newly developed carbon-nanotube-laced polymer interconnects.

The rubberized active matrix—shown here pulled over a spherical object—can be stretched and twisted up to 70 percent beyond its static dimensions without suffering electrical or mechanical damage.

Mt. Baker Rowing and Sailing Center is located on Lake Washington at Stan Sayres Park, about midway between Seward Park and the I-90 floating bridge in south east Seattle.
Office Hours through August 2014:
Register online with SPARC, call the Parks Business Service Center to register or leave a message at the facility and someone will return your call upon our return.
Mt. Baker currently offers programs for ages 8-100 in rowing, sailing, kayaking and windsurfing for all ability levels. Financial Aid is Available for all classes. The Boating Advisory Council, in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation, wants to ensure that our activities, classes and sports are available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. The Council will chose to waive some or all fees, offer activities on a sliding scale, allow for an exchange of activities for volunteer service, or offer scholarships.
Reduced fees are intended mainly for families or individuals in our
Seattle neighborhood who are on public assistance or are unemployed.
"On Land" Health & Fitness
With the increased space provided by the expansion project, on-site Parks Administration has scheduled new fitness classes several times a day, on two days each week�. early morning, mid-day and evening. There will be plenty of options to meet the busy lives of our neighborhood. Group lessons or personal instruction are also offered by a licensed personal trainer. This is helping to make a difference in the Parks and Recreation effort for improved health and to fight youth obesity. For more information call (206) 386-1913.
Junior Crew
Mt.Baker Junior Crew
This facility is accessible by private car, foot, bike, boat, and public transportation which makes stops on Genesee Street 3 blocks south of the facility. Because Stan Sayres Park features a boat launching ramp, as well as several piers for power or sailboats, one could arrive by water to take a class!
The construction of a rowing and sailing center for youth in South Seattle was included in the Forward Thrust Bond Issue of 1968. It was slated to be one of the final projects and was finally moved into the planning stages in 1980. The architectural firm of TRA was hired to do a feasibility study and based on their recommendation, the new facility was erected at Stan Sayres Park on the shores of Lake Washington.
The firm of Calvin/Gorasch was selected to design the new facility and construction began in August of 1984. The building is located adjacent to a residential area that provided the inspiration for the classic sloping roofline and cedar shake roof of the new building. The building is gray stucco and trimmed in turquoise, fuchsia, forest green, and wedge wood blue.
The official christening was on June 15, 1985 and the facility was named "Mount Baker Rowing and Sailing Center." The first project of the new advisory council was assisting in the planning and operation of the christening ceremony.
The new council, lead by Wil Anderson as President, took an active role in the planning of programs, financial projects, and publicity for the new center. Funds were generated through program operation and supplemented by fund raising activities to allow the purchase of ten Laser II sailboats, ten sailboards, and an eight oared shell named "City of Seattle."
In the summer of 1990, the Goodwill Games were held in Seattle, and the Mount Baker Rowing and Sailing Center hosted the events on Lake Washington. A 2000 meter course, beginning at Mount Baker Beach, was the venue for this world class Regatta.

Investing in a super durable camera body may have made sense back in the days of film, when you can use the same body for decades. It makes no sense at all in the digital age, because the electronics become obsolete way before the body wears out. Anyway, machined aluminum is not exactly high tech exotic materials....the Pentax K-01 frame is also made from machined aluminum.
Responding to the swift and negative reaction to its just-announced Lunar mirrorless camera, Hasselblad's business development manager, Luca Alessandrini, forcefully defended the venerable camera maker's partnership with Sony in an interview with the British Journal of Photography. Alessandrini stressed that, 'This [the Lunar] is not a NEX-7 camera, just because we are buying components from Sony'. He makes a pointed distinction between the Hasselblad-Sony partnership and the 'rebranding' arrangement between Leica and Panasonic. Alessandrini also says that the decision to use an unmodified Sony sensor for the first Lunar camera doesn't preclude the company from making sensor modifications for future models.
In seeking to explain the company's long-term strategy and product design decisions, Alessandrini says that unlike other makers who have distinct looks for different camera classes, 'What we're doing is designing three cameras – a compact camera, a DSLR and a mirrorless – with the same style'. And as for criticism generated by the Lunar's €5000 price, he adds, '...we're not robbing people by making a huge profit on the camera. Our profit margin is the same as everyone else's; we're just using more expensive materials.'
You can read the entire interview at the British Journal of Photography's web site.

another attempt to do Leica way, re-branding the product, multiply the price. iPhone, Leica, Hasselblad Vertu etc
Regardless of how superior the materials and construction of the Hasselblad Lunar may be, what is clear is that the company now has a full-blown public-relations disaster on its hands. Hasselblad's most astonishing failure -- so far -- is that the company seems not to have had the slightest clue in anticipating this sort of repudiation. That suggests the company is woefully out of touch with market reality and perception. If the materials from the which the camera are so expensive and labor so involved, this was never hinted at in the press materials.
And most of all, how does those expensive material help the photographer to better photograph .... its woefully a joke !!
Now Hassony! A new paradigm.
Give Hassy a break! They are trying to do what Kodak failed to do...re-invent themselves in a changing world.
À chacun son goût. This is a refined object for the select few (not the 47%). Wait until this goes on the next Soyuz mission.
If it quacks like a duck, walks like duck and swim like a duck then it is a duck!
$100 sensor in a $4900 body. Give me two.
It is a good thought that to make a high-quality mirrorless camera receives a supply of components from Sony.
However, it will be Contax that a user demands.
Do not you want to use the Ziess lens with a mirrorless camera like RX and RTS III?
If it walks like a NEX-7 and quacks like a NEX-7...
Will it float, if I drop it off the boat deck of my yacht?
Mr. Luca is trying to the following:
We used to make some top notch Medium format camera, we even send some to space. We know how to make some good stuff. But unfortunately in order to manufacture a modern camera today you only need Lenses, LCDs, EVFs, Sensors and some electronics. Unfortunately we don't make any of this stuff. So we buy some Sony and integrate some complex holding devise with rounded spinning knobs and engrave a big letter H on the body.
C'mon people, give us some slack. Hey, we trying, We need to make money over here, like every one else, stop picking on us.
It really doesn't bother me if Hassleblad want to dress a NEX-7 in bling for very wealthy people. However, it's a bit of an insult to people's intelligence to try and convince people that this is anything but a NEX-7 inside a body redesign. The specifications and the control layout seem virtually identical to the NEX, and only appear to be cosmetically different. If Hassleblad were just using Sony parts to design their own camera, it seems odd that they ended up with something so similar to the NEX-7 in specification and control layout. The control layout of the "Lunar" is more similar to the NEX-7 than it is to the NEX-6.
"keeping the same values that made our company famous. For example, that involves using the best material available..."
Gold and gems?!
Either he was lying, or Vitor Hasselblad did not use the best materials at his time.
Ok, so there seems to be some confusion in management's mind as to how much Hassy technical input there was to the prototypes (mock-ups) on display that seem to be internally identified as NEX-7s.
That's all fine, and the NEX-7 seems a technically competent basis for a mirrorless that will have the Hasselblad name attached to it.
But my first (and strong) reaction to the Lunar wasn't so much about the technical details, just the plain fugliness of the camera. My first impression was of a NEX covered in modelling clay.
I didn't notice Mr. Alessandrini addressing that issue, but rather getting defensive about things that don't seem to be fundamental problems.
Will it blend?
Only in wood-chipper. :)
IF i were Luca Alessandrini, here's what I would say
"We are building a luxury camera here, did we ever say a beautiful camera?
Hey, Luca Alessandrini!!! Do you even own a camera or held one?
Hassleblad used to make expensive yet (just) affordable high grade film cameras whose appearance stood for something - Zeiss lenses and mechanical and electronic excellence. There's nothing wrong with an NEX7 and aesthetically it's a fine camera as it was designed by Sony - it doesn't need a makeover of any kind, especially this kind.
If Hassleblad really want to make an outstanding smaller camera, how about introducing a digital version of the SWC? The old SWC was their smallest most portable 120 camera and had one of the all-time best ultra wide angle lenses in the fixed 38mm Biogon. They're still sought after second hand for landscape and architectural work. That might get some reverence......
The SWC/M was a fantastic camera. Unfortunately the 38mm biogon as a non-retrofocus design is not suited to digital capture - at least as a FF camera - it might perform better on a APS-c sensor.
That thing should be in the science fiction film 'Dune', killing people with 'alpha' waves, aimed by Sting; even his bad acting couldn't save this monstrosity.
Stick with medium format.
Boy, we can be a pretty judgmental bunch here at DPReview (I'm as guilty as anyone, I suppose). We condemn cameras we don't like, condemn the companies that make them, and condemn those who would actually choose such cameras. Can't we at least wait until a given camera is manufactured, reviewed, and most importantly -- personally handled -- before we start building the gallows for those who would dare create something that doesn't meet the approval of the hundreds of Magnum and Pulitzer Prize winning photographers who post on this site? After all, Hasselblad is one of the few companies that can say their cameras are built well enough to be used by astronauts in space -- what could they possibly know about making cameras?
Nobody is condemning the camera here. It's NEX-7, a great camera. We are condemning the hideously ugly and hideously overpriced floor paneling they slapped on it.
"Hasselblad is one of the few companies that can say their cameras are built well enough to be used by astronauts in space -- what could they possibly know about making cameras?"
In case you didn't notice it yet, they did not design the camera. They designed the ridiculous pimp attire they dressed the camera in.
I reckon poor old Victor Hasselblad must be spinning in his grave right now. I mean, precisely just HOW much 'substance abuse' had these guys been indulging in before they settled upon such a spectacularly ill-conceived abortion ? I've seen some pretty appalling design cock-ups over the years (the rear of the original Ssangyong Rodius MPV immediately springs to mind....check it out if you don't believe me !), but I'm afraid this is right up there with the top contenders. In fact just thinking about this camera has made me feel distinctly queasy....now wherever did I put that sick-bag....?
Hey, put all the Sony components you want in that thing. I just think it looks like they hired a yacht designer without telling him it's a camera.
A bad yacht designer.
That said, I don't doubt that plenty of people with money to burn will make sure that people see them taking pictures in public with it. That, in my opinion, is the only explanation for this, besides what seems to be genuinely strange management.
Note to Hasselblad: the backlash is real, but you won't be selling that thing to this audience anyway.
I am interested HD4D-40 ferrari models from Hasselblad, the camera is great model for Mirrorles camera. And if the Display 4 " antiglare display and touch screen, Full Frame and Hybrid sensor it become a very good Mirrorles Camera
If possible, use the Android system to make ease of use, custome camera.
I sense some people swinging the dead cats in here :^)
The real deal was to sell NEX-7 the way it is with Hassie logo on it, put a wonderful lens on it and sell it at same price as Sony. That is the way to make business. If you buy a chinese lens, you don't care if it is marked Samyang or Rokinon, you buy it for what it is and what it does. A NEX-7 form Hassie with different rubber grip colors and glue that sticks on the grip, a rubber that you don not lose after a month would be a bargain. Sony's NEX-7 grip rubber sucks.
I thought Samyang was Korean.
who cares, it is the content of a comment that counts. Errors are possible for anyone. Like FTW's comments, he has some nasty jokes sometimes and likes to hit the nail on the head, even if it hurts sometimes. But, who likes truth anyway. I know him personally too, he's a high aged jewish phillosopher and I have met him a few times during trips. We live in the same country, me in the north and he is in the south of the Philippines. Samyang is indeed Korean, dslr magic is chinese, and they make a few huge lenses too. I wait the new e-mounts coming out from them. I ordered a NEX-6 yesterday.
Reminds me of a kit car conversion. Buy a Pontiac Fiero then add a fiberglass overlay and put on Ferrari badges. Everyone knows its not a Ferrari and you look silly. You still have a Pontiac Fiero engine still and not a Ferrari engine. Hassie... Start from the ground up please. Forget ergonomics. Is the Leica ergonomic? No. What it does have is something that will last, great craftsmanship and awesome glass. Yes they outsource sensors but nobody cares that much.
Reminds me of European cars that carry transplant engines Lamborghini/Audi etc. In the most part it makes the cars more reliable and cheaper.
I could not believe the push back from Canon and Nikon fanboys. Sad, quite sad!
First, it is a Nex with different skins, not only the NEX sensor, and this story of future modification on the sensor is bluff, the same bluff than Nikon's own made Sony sensors. So, stop fooling people with that yuppie luxury objects made for suckers. Maybe we look dumb, but appearances can miss-lead you in error. The appearance of this Hassy gadgets doesn't lies, anyone with knowledge in technology knows what's about. Hassy never has build any digital part of it's cameras or modified any sensor. The mid format sensors where Kodak, same as in Pro One cameras or any Mamyia back. Here, Sony is the maker and Hassy sews the dress and makes the pricing for it, nothing else.
The Koenigsegg has a Ford engine and Hasselblad will use a Sony sensor, so who cares anyway somebody will buy it
Hmmm, looks like we struck a nerve.
Dear Hasselblad,
I could care less what you are doing in the Sony venture.
You are selling digital cameras. Electronics. A computer essentially. Your prices ought to be coming down year after year. You want some of this? You need a sub-$10K MF camera with more MPs than the D800. Sub-8k if you can manage it.
Right. It's actually an insult to everyone concerned to pull out a vulgar cheap trick like this.
Then comes the educational part:
If you paint your turd with gold, it's still just a goldpainted turd. Don't get me wrong, I do think Sony NEX-7 is brilliant camera, the trouble is that you turned it to a turd.
Yours frankly,
Rage Joe
It should be more exclusive and cost more!
Wait for the limited gold plated edition of the FF HX1 with fixed zeiss lens.
Hear hear! This is "out of the box" thinking. Most of you 48% are non creative and stuck in the box! I will swipe the plastic pronto!
I feel sorry for Hasselblad, for Hasselblad fans, for Hasselblad emplyoees, I even feel sorry for mr. Allesandrini.
Who would have thought ?
That from the marriage between Hasselblad and Fuji, it would be Fuji that came out with innovative ideas and high quality in serious photography products and having complete control of both bodies and lenses, and it would be Hasselblad that would take a total nose-dive having to resort to pimping up another manufactureres products ?
Why do Hasselblad need to apologise for there decisions? People and press are all jumping as if they are going to get a free product and don't like it. Wait until it's out. Most of you readers never owned a Hasselblad and never will. So take your comments elsewhere.
I admire bold companies that innovate and take the 'left' side for a change.
Sony sells components to everyone so what's all the hype.
do you really think slapping some dashboard paneling on sony's camera is "innovative"?
Obviously, the vast majority commenting here (including me) will never enter an establishment that is marketing products to this segment.
Just check out what the current Hassy owners are saying about all these rants in DPR's Hasselblad Talk forum ;)
I was so looking forward to the possibility of the function and street practicality of a digital x pan. I love the x pan simplicity, why do companies try and reinvent the wheel...and fail so often? Hello Leica M...
Already a Lunar competitor:
LOL. But I guess lensrentals doesn't ever want any support from Hasselblad!
That is so funny. I bet Hasselblad are going to have to buy an awful lot of drinks for people at the show.
"it is genuine plastic grown on our own trees. The plastic beans are hand picked and carried by mule to our processing plant where they are carefully selected and roasted to create a smooth, creamy plastic"
OMG...... I can't breathe.....
As for Hasselblad.... I predict bankruptcy within 24 months - really sad; an icon of uncompromising quality has just sold their soul.
He says: 'This [the Lunar] is not a NEX-7 camera, just because we are buying components from Sony'.
On this youtube video you can see the camera and it's menu with the firmware notification. It says NEX 7, not Lunar :-)
?!? Where?
after 29 seconds in this video we took

I don't understand why it's such a bad thing that it's an NEX 7 inside. So what? Developing cameras today is much harder than it was back in the film days. Back in the film days, you made the external body, then loaded it with film. These days, it's a lot more complicated. Manufacturers can't just made an empty body anymore. There's a lot of complicated, expensive things that go inside it now. So it makes perfect sense for a company like Hasselblad to use pre-existing innards, which allows them to put their own spin on everything that surrounds those innards.
The irony is that if Hassy hadn't used Sony's innards, and had come to the market with electronics that weren't as good, then they would be blasted for that! So better to use established components, then build around that.
And if they want to go after the boutique upscale market, let them! So what if there are people who will want a camera to match their Bentley?
It would have made sense if the price was normal, but this is just to much monney for this camera.
"Manufacturers can't just made an empty body anymore. There's a lot of complicated, expensive things that go inside it now." Except it's clear that manufacturers rely on subcontracted, albeit customized, sub-assemblies and construction. This, I believe, is why the models come so fast and furious. Even look at menu screens. The Samsung ones are much like the Panasonic ones. The LCD menu screen shots from the new Pentax SLRs look a lot to me like what I saw on a Nikon D5100. And so on.
Make it one grand and it will sell like hotcakes!
Looking at the Leica branded Panasonics, I'd say $2000.00 for the Lunar Hassy. I may be getting too old, but the one with carbon fiber grip doesn't look so bad to me. Just mount the new short 16-50 NEX lens, not the long 18-55!
Don't miss this!
The problem here is that the camera has no market placement:
1) Not A DSLR
2) Not a compact of any of the current types.
3) Too heavy and standoutish for a street camera.
4) Not a Pro camera.
When NASA commissioned H'Bad for a camera that would work in space it was the best camera for the job. To even mention NASA with this camera that exists for no other purpose than to pose, is an insult to the brand name.
Please, Please, use professional marketing and PR people in future.
This is clearly not a camera aimed at any segment of the *conventional* market. It's a boutique camera, like a boutique handbag costing thousands of dollars. To compare it to anything else in the market is simply pointless.
you could call it a new category of camera, the pointless and shoot.
Pointless and Shoot! Very good summation Eric.
To answer T3 I love boutique products, look at all the hand made guitars, but if one of the great Luther's took a cheap Chinese guitar and covered it in leather and sold it as a boutique guitar then I would be shocked.
"The pointless and shoot"!
Man, I'm really getting my jollies from this topic tonight.... Lovely humor here! Too much!
WOW! Congratulations to Hasselblad! The first camera in the world in the new Pointless and Shoot category, using their very unique Paint and Shroud materials. Oh! We're not Puerile and Stupid. I think this camera will be on sale in their luxurious Hasselblad Boutique at Avenue des Champs-Élysées early next year.
At around $6,000 this camera is a steal compared to the Leica Hermes at $50.000
lol, you're sooo right about that, i'll have 2 of 'em! I've had the time of my life reading this posts!
But that Hermes edition comes with a purse too.
The current incarnation of Hasselblad bears little resemblance to the superb, elegant, understated cameras that built its fame and professional following. Only a hollowed-out shell of that fine brand would excrete products like these. At least when Leica seeks to reap its red-dot tax in restyled Panasonic cameras, the design isn't a hyberbolic moon shot of weirdness and bling. Unobtainium may be expensive, but does it have to be fugly too?
Ok you keep on believing in magic underwear BJN, that leica with a $50,000 patch of sheep skin must be a bargain
BJN, what's interesting was my mother was talking with this young professional years ago and she saw a Hasselblad sitting on his desk. She said that I had one too and he said that he bought it because he thought it looked nice. He never intended to use it. So, you're right, the old 500 series was a work of art.
Nokia -- Vertu
Sony - hasselblad
I am going to buy the copycat from Alibaba
Reading the interview it says nothing about photography. It's all marketing and sales spin. Much like Leica's camera jewellery that they make.
It is a good thing that they did this as a "prototype" to get the "feel" of the vox populi.
You mean it's in the works?
Like... ready for sale?
Oooooohhhh NNNNOOOoooooooo........ !!!!!!!!!
I find this kind of amazing. For a company rep to actually come out in defense of products means that the market reaction was wildly negative. Because if the reaction was even mostly negative, it's always best from a PR perspective to not recognize the criticisms in public and instead internally decide what course to take.
then where is the canon manager?
Like what BMW did years ago when they had that awful looking back end?
LOL he can say whatever he wants. I'm not buying into it. Guess that makes me more important eh?
I had a good size film Hasselblad system and I ditched them when they came out with their coloured camera debacle. Sad really. Just like playing on the old moon camera theme.
So why was your system suddenly less useful when they came out with the colour variants?
Omega watch company does the same thing with their moon watch, the Speedmaster Professional.
wow so they make three ugly cameras hahaha
