Alpinestars Tech-1 K v2 Karting Shoes

The Alpinestars Tech-1 K v2 karting shoe was developed to withstand the stresses of kart racing, with a nubuck and microfiber upper for durability and support. The new anatomical design improves forefoot profiling, while an asymmetric lacing system offers a more progressive closure.

New external reinforcements on the heel and toe area and an ultra-thin Formula 1 spec sole with rounded heel give you unsurpassed levels of grip and sensitivity on the pedals.
