Alpinestars Tech-1 KX V3 Racing Shoes Black/White (FIA)

Alpinestars Tech-1 KX V3 are karting shoes with FIA 8877-2022 homologation. According to the manufacturer, they combine the brand's Formula 1 experience with karting track solutions: they are designed to be lightweight, breathable and to provide excellent pedal feel.

This model is made for drivers who want a secure foot hold and real pedal feedback throughout the whole stint.

Detailed look at the shoes

The upper is mostly white, with black inserts on the collar, the heel and the inner side of the shoe. The lacing, the thin lines on the inner side and the sole come with neon yellow accents. On the outer side you will see a large Alpinestars star outline with air vents, and on the heel the model marking. The hook-and-loop strap carries the brand logo, and the side features lettering with the abbreviated brand name. The back of the shoe has a carbon fibre-look texture.

Materials and construction

• Material: polyurethane and mesh, described as an ultra-thin PU film with 3D mesh.
• Homologation: FIA 8877-2022.
• Ventilation: laser-cut vents and perforations on the toes and sides, plus a tongue made of microsuede and 3D mesh.
• Sole: thin, rubber, with a textured tread for reliable grip.
• Fastening: adjustable strap and quick aramid lacing with the Alpinestars wire system.
• Collar: soft, made of microfibre, cut lower at the back so it does not press on the Achilles tendon.

Ideal for a licensed karting driver
