The revolutionary boot that Mr. Mazzarolo produced would become an archetype for motocross protection. In 1963, a leather craftsman by the name of Sante Mazzarolo brought forth a future icon. Based in the small Northern Italy town of Asolo and with the perennial Alpine star flower as its namesake, Mr. Mazzarolo began producing the first products bearing the Alpinestars moniker. At that time, a new sport called motocross was establishing itself and becoming quite popular across Europe. Very much aware of the sport, Sante realized an opportunity to apply his talents and technical acumen to design a new type of footwear that would meet the protective needs and demands of this beautiful yet brutal form of athleticism.

The upper of this item is constructed from a superbly lightweight, durable and abrasion-resistant microfiber. An enhanced TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) ankle is extended in the lower lateral area, increasing support and protection. TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) slider details on the lateral toe box give enhanced flex and protection. A new TPR heel counter design ensures additional lateral support and security. The asymmetric toe design gives protection in the shift area. The closure type is a Hook & Loop system, and the item is not water resistant. Overall, this product delivers exceptional performance and protection for motocross enthusiasts.
