Rockport has announced it has been appointed the official footwear supplier to GBR Challenge – the British entry into the 2003 Americas Cup and the first British national entry in the race for 15 years.

For the race, the team has chosen Rockport’s most technical sailing shoe, the Caspian. Part of the Rockport XCS ‘hydrosports’ performance range, the Caspian incorporates the brand’s ‘Hydromotion’ functional drainage system that helps constantly drain water away from the shoe for quick drying. Water resistant uppers are said to provide all day comfort while a ‘Snail’ configuration rubber outsole offers an ‘extra sticky’ surface for enhanced traction.
