Alpinestars SP+ Racing Shoes Black/Red (FIA)

Alpinestars SP+ Racing Shoes Black/Red (FIA)

Alpinestars SP+ are entry-level racing shoes from the newer Alpinestars collection, designed for drivers who need homologated footwear for the cockpit. Built to FIA 8856-2018 homologation, they combine suede with natural leather.

The black/red version is ideal if you want proven gear for motorsport, from rallying to circuit racing.

Detailed look at the shoes

The upper features a bold two-colour split. Red suede covers part of the midfoot and ankle, while black is used on the front, around the heel and on the tongue. The red side panel carries a large white Alpinestars star logo with perforation, with a black strip and white brand logo above it. The heel shows the SP+ marking, and the black outer side features a white outline with part of the brand logo. The tongue has a label with the certification marking. The toes are reinforced with black leather, and the sole is thin and flat.
