New Product: Alpinestars Limited Edition 'Mach 1' Supertech R Motorcycle Boots

A limited-edition Supertech R boot in Vinales' livery.

May 5, 2017

Since moving to Movistar Yamaha for 2017, Maverick Vinales has proved his premier class credentials with strong race wins at the MotoGPs of Qatar and Argentina. Fusing a unique riding style with power, poise and pace, the Spaniard is more than living up to his namesake expression "Maverick" — he's redefining it. The first European stop of the 2017 MotoGP Championship takes place in Jerez, Spain: the country of Maverick's birth. To celebrate his individualist talent and pure speed, Alpinestars has created the Limited Edition 'Mach 1' Supertech R, a 2017 Maverick Vinales race replica.

The Limited Edition 'Mach 1' Supertech R, which Maverick will wear for the Jerez MotoGP, features all the same technical innovations as the iconic Supertech R and is available in a limited edition colorway scheme (grey, red, and black), resulting in a unique premium race boot that is built for speed. Alpinestars’ most iconic road riding boot worn by a roster of the fastest world champions past and present, the Supertech R features performance innovations, including a redesigned compound rubber sole, an ergonomically profiled shin plate and a redesigned front flex area.
