OMP Tecnica Racing Shoes
The OMP Tecnica Racing Shoes combine premium materials, lightweight construction, and responsive pedal feedback for competitive auto racing. Developed around OMP’s focus on driver comfort, the Tecnica provides a soft, supportive fit without sacrificing the control and protection required in demanding motorsports environments.
The upper uses a combination of smooth leather, soft suede, and fire-resistant Nomex materials. The outward-facing section is constructed from flexible suede for comfort and mobility, while durable leather along the instep provides added structure and resistance to wear.
An ultralight racing outsole creates a direct connection between the driver and the pedals. Its thin, supportive construction improves brake, throttle, and clutch feedback while providing dependable traction and additional protection around the foot.
Premium Leather and Suede Construction
The OMP Tecnica uses different materials in targeted areas to balance comfort, flexibility, and durability. Soft suede on the outer side allows the shoe to move naturally with the foot, while smooth leather along the instep provides support during repeated pedal operation.
Fire-Resistant Interior Materials
Fire-resistant Nomex materials provide added protection inside the shoe while maintaining a soft and comfortable feel. The streamlined interior helps reduce pressure points during sprint races, endurance events, qualifying sessions, and track days.
Ultralight Racing Outsole
The lightweight outsole is engineered to provide precise pedal feedback without unnecessary bulk. Its low-profile shape allows the driver to better feel changes in brake pressure, throttle position, and clutch engagement.
Responsive Pedal Grip
The outsole provides dependable traction on the pedals while maintaining the flexibility needed for smooth heel-and-toe downshifts and quick transitions between the brake, throttle, and clutch.
Reinforced Toe Protection
A reinforced section on the outer toe box improves wear resistance in an area that commonly contacts the pedal box and transmission tunnel. This added protection is especially useful for drivers who regularly use heel-and-toe shifting techniques.
Flexible Rear Ankle Bellow
The mid-rise rear of the shoe incorporates a flexible bellow that allows the ankle to move naturally while maintaining support around the heel. This design helps reduce restriction during braking, shifting, and extended driving sessions.
Modern Two-Tone Styling
The OMP Tecnica is offered in multiple modern color combinations that coordinate with a wide range of racing suits, gloves, helmets, and vehicle liveries.

Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v4 Nomex Gloves
$184.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v4 Nomex Racing Gloves
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v4 Nomex Racing Gloves deliver premium comfort, dependable steering-wheel grip, and certified fire-resistant protection at an accessible price point. Developed for competitive auto racing, the Tech-1 Race v4 combines a lightweight aramid construction with pre-curved fingers, external palm-side seams, and a high-grip silicone surface.
An open-cuff design and 180-degree elasticated wrist make the gloves easy to put on while maintaining a secure, streamlined fit. The close anatomical construction improves steering feedback and dexterity when operating paddle shifters, buttons, switches, and other cockpit controls.
The Tech-1 Race v4 meets FIA 8856-2018 and SFI homologation requirements, making it suitable for many professional, amateur, endurance, road-racing, and club-level motorsport applications.
Pre-Curved Racing Fit
The fingers are pre-curved to follow the natural shape of the hand around the steering wheel. This ergonomic construction reduces resistance through the fingers and helps the driver maintain a relaxed grip during qualifying laps, sprint races, and extended driving sessions.
The close-fitting design also reduces excess material around the fingertips, improving dexterity and steering-wheel sensitivity.
External Palm-Side Seams
External seams along the palm side of the fingers move bulky stitching away from the primary pressure areas inside the glove. This creates a smoother interior surface and helps reduce discomfort while gripping the steering wheel.
The seam placement provides a natural feel without sacrificing the durability required for repeated competition use.
High-Grip Silicone Palm
A silicone grip surface across the palm provides dependable traction against the steering wheel. The low-profile grip pattern improves control during braking, cornering, shifting, and rapid steering inputs while preserving tactile feedback.
Enhanced traction allows the driver to maintain control with less gripping pressure, which can help reduce hand fatigue during longer races and track sessions.
Open Cuff and Elasticated Wrist
The open-cuff design allows quick entry and removal between sessions. A 180-degree elasticated wrist holds the glove securely in place without requiring a bulky external closure.
The streamlined wrist construction provides comfortable overlap with the sleeve of a compatible racing suit while maintaining freedom of movement.
Flame-Resistant Aramid Construction
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v4 is constructed from flame-resistant aramid fiber with a bonded aramid lining. This lightweight construction provides certified motorsport protection while maintaining flexibility and comfort.
The soft interior lining helps reduce irritation and provides a close, consistent fit during extended use.
FIA and SFI-Approved Racing Protection
The Alpinestars Tech-1 Race v4 Racing Gloves meet FIA 8856-2018 and applicable SFI homologation standards. These certifications make the gloves suitable for many racing series and sanctioning bodies that require approved fire-resistant driver equipment.
Drivers should confirm the required certification with their racing organization before competition.

Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes
from $129.95
$169.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes give young racers the comfort, support, and precise pedal feedback needed for competitive karting. Developed specifically for junior drivers, the Tech-1 K Youth v2 combines a durable nubuck microfiber upper with an anatomical fit, reinforced protection, and an ultra-thin Formula 1-inspired outsole.
A revised forefoot profile reduces unnecessary bulk around the pedals, while the asymmetric lacing system creates a secure and supportive fit. Strategic perforations improve airflow, and reinforced toe and heel areas help the shoes withstand the repeated wear associated with practice, qualifying, and racing.
Youth Karting Shoes Built for Control
The Tech-1 K Youth v2 is designed to help developing drivers maintain a stable connection with the kart. Its lightweight construction supports natural ankle movement, while the low-profile outsole provides the sensitivity needed for smooth brake and throttle inputs.
The close-fitting design also helps reduce unwanted foot movement inside the shoe, giving young racers greater confidence during fast pedal transitions and demanding race sessions.
Durable Nubuck Microfiber Construction
The upper uses a durable combination of nubuck and microfiber materials for support, flexibility, and abrasion resistance. Strategically positioned perforated zones improve ventilation without compromising the shoe’s supportive structure.
This lightweight construction helps keep the foot comfortable during long indoor sessions and warm outdoor race weekends.
Enhanced Anatomical Fit
An updated anatomical profile follows the natural shape of the foot more closely. The flatter forefoot reduces excess material around the toes and improves the driver’s connection with closely positioned kart pedals.
This streamlined fit supports more accurate brake pressure and throttle modulation while maintaining room for natural foot movement.
Dual Asymmetric Closure System
The asymmetric closure combines aramidic speed lacing with an adjustable hook-and-loop ankle strap. Positioning the closure away from the center of the foot helps distribute pressure more evenly and creates a secure, personalized fit.
Durable para-aramidic eyelets support the lacing system during repeated adjustment and regular racing use.
Ergonomic Heel Counter
An ergonomic polypropylene foot counter supports and stabilizes the heel during braking and rapid pedal transitions. This structure helps reduce unwanted rear-foot movement while allowing the ankle to operate naturally.
Reinforced Toe Protection
External reinforcements on both sides of the toe improve abrasion resistance in areas commonly exposed to pedals, chassis components, and repeated contact inside the kart.
External Heel Reinforcement
A protective rubber section at the rear of the heel adds durability and abrasion resistance while entering the kart, operating the pedals, and moving through the paddock.
Ultra-Thin Formula 1 Specification Sole
The Tech-1 K Youth v2 uses an ultra-thin outsole inspired by Alpinestars Formula 1 footwear technology. Its exclusive rubber compound is strategically ribbed to provide dependable grip and clear pedal feedback.
The low-profile construction helps young drivers feel changes in brake pressure and throttle position in both wet and dry karting conditions.
Comfortable Low-Cut Collar
The soft microfiber collar is cut lower at the rear to reduce pressure around the Achilles area. This improves ankle mobility and comfort during repeated braking and acceleration.
Lightweight nitrile rubber padding provides additional cushioning without adding unnecessary bulk.
Perforated Padded Tongue
The tongue includes soft padding to cushion the top of the foot and perforations that improve airflow. Its flexible construction works with the asymmetric closure to create a comfortable and secure fit.
