The Tech-1K V2 shoe is ultra-lightweight shoe and is optimized for maximum airflow and breathability, and has a contoured shape and is thus more proportioned to better adapt to the morphology of the feet, thereby improving comfort in the cockpit and reducing driver fatigue. There is also an ergonomic footbed to ensure the foot maintains a natural, comfortable posture while also allowing maximum flexibility, support and free foot movement.

Key Features:

  • The new superlight tongue is constructed from a combination of perforated microfiber and mesh giving for optimum breathability and airflow and superior feeling.
  • Strategically-positioned perforation zones on lateral and medial sides and toe for giving breathability.
  • Alpinestars innovative foot counter is engineered for maximum performance: an ergonomic, polypropylene heel counter provides support and stability inside the shoe, while a flatter forefoot with die-cut ribbing provides greater feel with the pedals.
  • The ultra-thin Formula 1 specification sole uses Alpinestars exclusive rubber compound which is strategically ribbed for enhanced pedal sensitivity and grip in both wet and dry conditions.
  • External rear heel rubber for improved abrasion resistance and protection.
  • Integrated PU heel for additional driver comfort.
Construction & Protection:
  • The dual and asymmetric closure system incorporates an adjustable hook and loop strap plus a traditional lace loop system coupled with a para-aramidic eyelets system for enhanced durability, as well as a more personalized fit and a secure closure.
  • The collar is cut lower at the rear to allow for greater Achilles' heel comfort and an improved range of movement.
  • The external toe reinforcement is constructed using 3D rubber print for superior abrasion resistance and protection.
  • Advanced hybrid construction consisting of durable Nubuck microfiber upper and strategically positioned perforated microfiber areas to ensure light weight, excellent breathability and superior feel.

Who is Alpinestars?

The company started in 1963 when leather craftsman Sante Mazzarolo produced the first product bearing the Alpinestar name. At that time, motocross racing was just an up and coming motorsport event. Mazzarolo noticed the need for footwear that would protect the riders from the harsh condition of motocross racing. It was a success all over Europe that it has become the benchmark for future designs of boots.

As years went by, more and more riders started using Alpinestars boots and have become part of past motocross champions' success, and by the mid-'90s, they launched the first technical apparel line. Today Alpinestar is a household name when it comes to protective wear, not just by motorcycle riders but other racing disciplines such as  Formula one, Kart racing, and more. 

Innovation

What makes Alpinestar successful is its ability to innovate and create products ahead of its current competitors. They are able to mesh style, comfort, and safety into one, making it the most sought-after protective gear in the market.

Revolutionizing Protective Gears

In 2014, Alpinestars introduced the very first Airbag for motorcycles. Unlike with cars, the only protection a motorcycle rider has is their gear, and this is what Alpinestar provided. With their Tech-Air technology, they are able to utilize modern advancements such as accelerometers and gyros to create an airbag vest that would deploy the same way as to how airbags deploy in cars. Since its introduction, it has saved numerous lives both on the race track and on the streets.
