Alpinestars Tech-10 Motocross Boots Limited Edition Union

Southwick, Massachusetts – The Outdoor Nationals make their yearly trip to the nation’s birthplace for the only New England stop of the series. A labor of love for the American Legionnaires that built the track behind the now famous Post 338, the track boasts deep sand and terrain rugged enough to test the meddle of any would-be champion. Originally hewn from the countryside in 1972, the track made its official “Nationals” debut in 1976 with Alpinestars’ Oscar rider Pierre Karsmakers winning the inaugural event. More than four decades after Alpinestars stood atop the podium, heritage stylings are back in Southwick with the Limited Edition ‘Union’ Tech 10 and Gear Set. The benchmark boot in motocross, the Tech 10 further advances the innovations that make it the most technical motocross boot ever. From the anatomical shape with front and rear sliding blades to the all-new closure system with light and durable buckle closure system, every component of the new Tech 10 boot has been continuously developed in racing for uncompromised performance and durability. • The one-piece co-injected foot chassis incorporates five different compounds in a single lightweight piece to offer strength and flexibility while maintaining flexibility and structural integrity. • Innovative, lightweight upper combines full-grain leather with advanced lightweight microfiber and impact and abrasion resistant TPU shell. • Frontal protection features a dual closure system with an internal microfiber flap, plus Velcro® for a precise fit closure attached securely with a micro-adjustable, easy to operate, lightweight buckle. Shin incorporates a unique TPU blade system engineered to prevent frontal hyperextension and offer greater flex control. • Innovative, ergonomic design for lateral and medial flex zones to provide superb front and rear flexion support which helps prevent damaging torsional forces around the ankle area. • Medial-facing panel is constructed from a one-piece, specifically formulated polymer for improved structural stability and integrity, and incorporates rubber insert panel for maximum grip contact with bike and improved abrasion resistance. • Contoured TPU calf protector plate offers impact resistance and incorporates Alpinestars innovative rear blade system, formed with hard shock resistant polymer to protect the heel and features a rear hyperextension guard. • Multi-density foot shell incorporating heel and toe protection is highly resistant to abrasion and impact, and adds to the boot's overall durability. • Exclusive dual compound sole is seamlessly integrated to the multi-density foot base structure with built-in support.
