Alpinestars Tech 10 Limited Edition Squad Boots

The Limited Edition 'Squad' is a fine tribute to Alpinestars' world-renowned squad of MX riders with its deep heritage going back to the early '70's when the first MX competitions of the sport got underway, and Roger de Coster brought home his first of five World Motocross Championship titles.

With its disruptive camo pattern combining a twist of luxurious premium gold accents, these boots will definitely stand out, whether that be on the big rhythm sections at the Atlanta Motor Speedway or on the hardpacked, rocky terrain of Arco.

Features:

• Reduced Weight:
  • Lighter, more durable composite materials have been created that are lighter in weight and more durable to ensure they hold up to the rigors of off-road riding: yielding over 400 g (almost 1 lb) in weight reduction.
• Unparalleled flex control:
  • Frontal Flex Frame gives complete and seamless flexion control system, from the foot shell all the way up to the shin plate, offering high-performance double motion control, preventing over-compression and hyper-extension.
  • Asymmetrical, dual pivot arms on boot frame.
  • Ankle control system developed in the outer shell construction, allowing natural ankle movement, vertical compression control and improved impact protection.
• DCHP – unique heel protection innovation: Innovative safety feature that includes a fully integrated collapsible heel area with expanded poly-foam to absorb high impact energies during a crash.
• New inner ankle brace:
  • Lighter, anatomically redesigned medial and lateral torsion arms which are compact and offer an increased range of movement and control.
  • Double pivot system allows the Tech 10 to retain its integrity while flexing which removes the need for alternative torsion bars for varying ankle widths and crucially gives the essential progressive resistance to rotational and vertical forces.
  • New low-profile, pull-on design for reduce material build, less weight and to facilitate easier and quicker wearing.
  • Dual compound removable anatomic footbed includes EVA for comfort and support and aids even weight distribution.
• Anatomical shin and calf-plates: Slimmer and more streamlined with a contoured calf protector ergonomically wrapping around the rear leg. Constructed from a dual-density compound and combined with the rear blade system, protection is enhanced with progressive dampening of excessive torsional forces. The energy-dissipating shin plate features a new anatomic design for reduced surface area and weight-saving.
• Unique sole integration: Completely re-designed sole with proprietary grip sculpturing to improve foot-peg performance, grip and mud and water run-off. Exclusive dual compound sole is seamlessly integrated to the multi-density foot base structure with built-in support. The sole offers superior durability, grip and feel while riding and improved performance on the shifter. The central sole insert features micro grip and side hooking grip design.
• Buckle closure system: Anatomically optimized re-designed for weight-saving and ergonomics, the new triple buckle closure system features a nylon and fiberglass compound for improved durability and strength. New slim-line buckles include high-impact bridge closures which are cold forged for precision and strength. The closure system features contra-closure, doubling closure security and a quick release/locking system with self-aligning, memory, design for easy, precise closure and improved riding performance and security. All buckles are easily replaceable.

Construction

• Advanced lightweight microfiber and impact and abrasion-resistant TPU shell.
• Foot shell features five different compounds in a single lightweight piece to offer strength while maintaining flexibility and structural integrity. Foot shell incorporates heel and toe protection that is highly resistant to abrasion and impact and adds to the boot's overall durability. Foot shell also includes integrated shank for support and structural integrity.
• Frontal protection features a dual closure system with an internal microfiber flap, plus hook and loop fasteners for a precise fit closure beneath the buckle giving greater, micro-adjustable, precision which is convenient to operate. Soft microfiber gaiter helps seal out excessive water and dirt entry.
• Poly-fabric lining with 3D open cell foam incorporates anti-slip suede in heel area, keeping the foot located inside the boot.
• CE certified.
