Alpinestars SP v2 Racing Shoes
Closeout pricing while supplies last. The Alpinestars SP v2 Racing Shoes combine a lightweight Formula 1-inspired profile, premium suede construction, and an ultra-thin racing sole for responsive pedal control. Designed for competitive drivers who want dependable protection and performance at an affordable price, the SP v2 is homologated to the SFI 3.3/5 standard.
An anatomically profiled shape creates a close, supportive fit, while the asymmetric lacing system allows precise adjustment across the foot. Laser-cut perforations and a perforated leather tongue improve airflow, helping keep the driver comfortable during long races, track days, autocross events, and HPDE sessions.
The exclusive Alpinestars ultra-thin F1-specification outsole uses a lightweight rubber compound with a line-textured grip pattern. This low-profile design provides direct brake, throttle, and clutch feedback while maintaining dependable traction on the pedals.
Premium Suede Upper
The main upper is constructed from premium suede for an effective combination of durability, flexibility, and comfort. Its soft construction allows the shoe to conform to the foot while providing the support needed for precise pedal operation.
Formula 1-Inspired Profile
The SP v2 features a sleek, low-bulk profile developed using Formula 1 racing-shoe principles. Its narrow shape helps drivers operate closely spaced pedals while reducing unnecessary material around the foot.
Asymmetric Lacing System
Alpinestars’ asymmetric lacing design follows the natural shape of the foot for a secure and personalized fit. Traditional laces work with hidden loops to reduce exposed material and distribute pressure more evenly across the upper.
Perforated Leather Tongue
A full tongue made from perforated leather improves ventilation and breathability. The airflow helps reduce heat buildup during demanding races and extended driving sessions.
Laser-Cut Ventilation
Strategically positioned laser-cut perforations provide additional airflow without adding bulky mesh panels. This construction maintains the shoe’s streamlined profile while improving interior comfort.
Heat-Resistant Para-Aramidic Lining
A tubular para-aramidic fiber lining provides excellent heat resistance, strength, and lightweight protection. The flexible lining surrounds the foot while allowing natural movement during braking, shifting, and throttle operation.
Ultra-Thin F1-Specification Sole
The exclusive Alpinestars racing outsole uses an ultra-thin lightweight rubber compound to deliver direct pedal feedback. A line-textured grip pattern helps maintain secure contact with the brake, throttle, and clutch pedals.
Multi-Compound Heel Support
A multi-compound foot counter and ergonomic polypropylene heel counter stabilize the rear of the foot. This supportive construction improves lateral control during hard braking and rapid pedal transitions.
Integrated Fireproof Heel
An integrated fire-resistant polyurethane heel adds protection around a high-wear area without creating unnecessary weight or bulk.
Lightweight Interior Padding
Microporous padding around the heel and insole improves comfort during long periods behind the wheel. Nitrile-rubber collar padding provides additional cushioning and support around the ankle.
