Specialized celebrates the Chinese New Year with a limited edition of its Torch and Ares 2 shoes
Any celebration is a good excuse to launch a limited edition of some product. Specialized is doing this now in coincidence with the arrival of the Chinese New Year, which celebrates the Year of the Horse.

The new S-Works Torch and Ares 2 Shoes Arrive for the Year of the Horse
Two new design options for the S-Works Torch and Ares 2 shoes are added to Specialized's catalog in celebration of the Chinese New Year.
Both the ultra-sporty Ares 2 and the incredibly comfortable Torch maintain all their features, such as the renowned Body Geometry design developed based on the extensive knowledge provided to Specialized by more than 10,000 foot scans.

The Ares 2 feature a red sole and on their white upper, the logos are in the same color, while the piece that hugs the heel and maximizes the firmness of these shoes remains black.
The Torch, on the other hand, showcases an elegant white color, although with the detail of the piece that provides heel firmness in blue, on which the s-works logo can be read in red.
These shoes are already available at a price of €479 for the Ares 2 and €389 for the Torch.
