ALPINESTARS TECH-1 KX Rider Shoes [Black/Fluo Green/White]

A complete evolution for the Tech-1 KX shoe offers serious kart racers optimized levels of fit, flexibility and lightweight performance. With an all-new seamless heat-sealed construction for superior feel, as well as a new design for anatomical profiling particularly on the toe area, the Tech-1 KX also incorporates an innovative asymmetrical closure system for progressive fit and support, as well as an ultra-thin 1-specific outsole formula for grip and feel on the pedals.

CONSTRUCTION:

• Advanced seamless heat-sealed construction composed of PU film and 3D mesh for ultra-lightweight performance, with no pressure points on the foot for greater comfort and superior feel.
• Collar padding made of nitrile rubber for comfort and weight savings.
• The soft microfiber collar is cut lower in the back to allow for greater Achilles heel comfort and better freedom of movement.
• The 3D mesh on the tongue and collar, as well as the perforations on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, offer optimal internal breathability and cooling.

KEY FEATURES:

• Designed and developed specifically for the stresses of kart racing.
• The new sleek profile of the shoe follows the anatomy of the foot and guarantees excellent fit and performance.
• External reinforcements on the heel, ankle and inner toe for abrasion resistance and protection.

• The tongue features soft perforated padding for maximum comfort and a better fit.
• Alpinestars' innovative heel counter for maximum performance: An ergonomic polypropylene heel counter provides support and stability within the shoe, while a flatter forefoot with die-cut ribs provides greater feel on the pedals.
