Alpinestars SuperMono v2 Racing Shoes
The Alpinestars Supermono v2 Racing Shoes are engineered for drivers who demand an exceptionally lightweight fit, precise pedal feedback, and dependable heat protection. Every component has been carefully designed to reduce unnecessary weight while maintaining the comfort, strength, and support required for competitive auto racing.
A contoured sock-style construction allows the Supermono v2 to follow the natural shape of the foot more closely than a traditional racing shoe. The streamlined design reduces bulk inside the cockpit, while strategically positioned perforations improve ventilation during demanding sprint races, endurance events, and extended track sessions.
The premium bovine leather upper uses a patented one-piece construction that minimizes seams and excess material. Combined with a fire-resistant elastic collar, para-aramidic lining, and Alpinestars’ thin Formula 1-derived rubber outsole, the Supermono v2 provides a secure connection between the driver and the pedals.
Ultralight Sock-Style Construction
The Supermono v2 features a sculpted, sock-like design that conforms closely to the lines of the foot. This low-profile construction reduces unnecessary material and provides a secure performance fit without creating excessive bulk around the ankle or pedal area.
Premium One-Piece Leather Upper
The main upper is constructed from premium bovine leather for an effective balance of flexibility, mechanical resistance, and driver comfort. Alpinestars’ patented one-piece upper design reduces the number of separate panels and seams, helping lower weight while improving comfort inside the cockpit.
Secure Hook-and-Loop Closure
A streamlined hook-and-loop closure provides quick and secure adjustment. A hidden instep adjustment allows the driver to fine-tune the fit across the top of the foot for improved support and reduced movement during heavy braking and rapid pedal transitions.
Fire-Resistant Sock and Lining
The elastic fire-resistant collar and tongue provide a close, comfortable fit around the ankle. A para-aramidic tubular lining offers excellent heat resistance, strength, and weight savings while maintaining the flexibility needed for precise pedal operation.
Strategic Ventilation
Perforated zones are positioned along the lateral and medial sides, front toe area, and collar to improve airflow throughout the shoe. The perforated inner gusset and breathable construction help manage heat and moisture during demanding driving conditions.
Formula 1-Derived Racing Outsole
The Supermono v2 uses Alpinestars’ exclusive thin rubber compound outsole developed from its Formula 1 racing program. The thin construction provides excellent sensitivity through the brake, throttle, and clutch pedals, while the textured surface supplies dependable grip.
Lightweight Cushioning and Support
Microporous padding surrounds the heel and footbed to improve comfort without adding unnecessary weight. A microporous heel section provides additional shock absorption, while nitrile rubber collar padding supports the ankle and improves comfort during long sessions.
