Vuelta victory with the top shoe from Nimbl: The Ultimate Air from Jonas Vingegaard

Danish professional cyclist Jonas Vingegaard has won the Vuelta a España 2025. The rider from the Visma | Lease a Bike team crossed the finish line in Madrid as the overall winner, securing another Grand Tour victory after his Tour de France successes. During the three-week stage race through Spain, Vingegaard wore the Ultimate Air model from Italian shoe manufacturer Nimbl. "A Grand Tour victory is always something special, and this Vuelta was a tough test. I'm grateful to my team-mates for their support throughout the race. I'm happy to have such a strong team behind me and to have equipment that gives me the confidence to overcome any challenge," explained the newly crowned winner of the last Grand Tour of the season. He particularly emphasised the features of his shoes: "The Nimbl shoes have made a big difference - they are so light that you feel like you're wearing nothing, yet they offer full protection and transfer all the power to the pedals. The Air model I wore at the Vuelta offered a supportive and comfortable fit with its lacing system."

Technical details of the Nimbl Ultimate Air

Worn by Vingegaard during his Vuelta victory, the Nimbl Ultimate Air has been equipped with a new monocoque carbon chassis, which according to the manufacturer is designed to reduce weight, increase stiffness and improve efficiency. The minimalist lacing system combines a stylish look with a supportive fit, while the slim, aerodynamic profile is said to offer a proven advantage. Francesco Sergio, CEO and co-founder of Nimbl, emphasises the importance of success: "This has been a season to remember, marked by extraordinary victories that inspired us to create the Summer Victory Collection. We are extremely grateful for the trust that athletes place in our products when they use them at the highest level of their sport." The collaboration with Vingegaard goes back several years, with the Danish professional cyclist contributing to the further development of the shoes with his feedback.
