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

Alpinestars Tech 1-Z V3 Racing Shoes White/Black (FIA 8856-2018)

Alpinestars Tech 1-Z V3 are racing shoes with FIA 8856-2018 homologation, designed for competitive drivers who demand precision and comfort during events. The Tech 1-Z model combines an ultra-lightweight construction with solutions drawn directly from the highest levels of motorsport, including Formula 1.

The upper is made from lightweight, soft and flexible kangaroo leather that wraps closely around the foot for a precise fit. The Achilles zone is built from soft seamless knit fabric, eliminating pressure points in this sensitive area.

Detailed appearance

The shoes feature a predominantly white colourway with black accents on the upper, sole and stitching. On the side panel a graphic referencing the model's design language is visible - a large Alpinestars star logo and the "1z" designation near the heel. The adjustable ankle strap is finished in white with a white "alpinestars" inscription. Black laces contrast with the light upper. An additional Alpinestars star logo is placed on the toe cap. The homologation label is visible at the rear.
