Few careers in pro cycling match that of Alejandro Valverde, and few cycling shoes deliver the race-winning performance of the fizik Infinito R1. Bringing these two legends together, Infinito R1 El Bala Special Edition shoe combines competition-leading fit and support with a limited-edition design to honour current Spanish Champion Alejandro Valverde.

El Bala
Celebrate a legendary career with the storied performance of the Infinito R1 El Bala Special Edition The Microtex upper is supple, yet strong and stable, for a comfortable and consistent fit. Combined with fizik’s most advanced adjustment capabilities, this shoe delivers the precise, locked- in feel that racers demand.

Volume Control
The Volume Control system allows for differentiated fit adjustments for the instep and forefoot areas–the shape and volume of which can vary widely between riders. By controlling two separate Boa® dial closures, cyclists can fine-tune shoe fit to their unique foot shape for customized comfort and support.

Dynamic Arch Support
A customized fit for better support of the plantar arch is provided through Dynamic Arch Support, a dedicated piece of the shoe’s upper that wraps around the plantar arch and is adjusted for fit with its own Boa® dial.

R1 Outsole
The highly stiff R1 unidirectional full-carbon outsole is tuned for maximum power transfer with ventilated openings to channel airflow through the sole for efficient temperature control.
