We’re only just enjoying summer 2016, and the influx of 2017 product has already started! First up of the exciting new kit to hit the Factory Jackson offices is the new Shimano SPD range – in particular the AM5 Camo gravity shoe; ME5 trail shoe and the heavily featured ME7 Enduro race shoe – featuring a Michelin rubber sole!

Here they are – starting with the crazy camo Am5…
