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.

Alpinestars Tech-1 K v2 Karting Shoes
$129.66
$169.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 K v2 Karting Shoes
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K v2 Karting Shoes are engineered for drivers who want durable protection, a secure anatomical fit, and precise feedback through the brake and throttle pedals. Developed specifically for the demands of kart racing, the Tech-1 K v2 combines a supportive nubuck microfiber upper with lightweight ventilation and an ultra-thin Formula 1-inspired outsole.
An improved anatomical profile creates a flatter forefoot and a more natural fit around the foot. This streamlined design reduces unnecessary bulk around closely spaced kart pedals while helping the driver maintain accurate control during braking, acceleration, and rapid pedal transitions.
The dual asymmetric closure system combines aramidic speed lacing with a low-profile hook-and-loop strap. This arrangement distributes pressure more evenly across the foot and allows the fit to be adjusted for dependable support throughout practice, qualifying, and racing.
Durable Nubuck Microfiber Upper
The Tech-1 K v2 uses an advanced hybrid upper constructed from durable nubuck and microfiber materials. The supportive structure is designed to withstand repeated karting use while remaining lightweight and flexible.
Strategically positioned perforated zones improve airflow through the shoe, helping reduce heat buildup during long indoor sessions and warm outdoor race weekends.
Enhanced Anatomical Fit
The revised anatomical design improves the shape of the forefoot and allows the shoe to sit more naturally around the driver’s foot. A flatter toe area helps reduce excess material and improves contact with closely positioned pedals.
This close-fitting profile supports accurate pedal movement without creating unnecessary pressure around the toes or midfoot.
Dual Asymmetric Closure System
The asymmetric closure follows the natural shape of the foot rather than applying pressure directly down the center. Aramidic speed laces run through durable para-aramidic eyelets to provide a secure and personalized fit.
An ultra-thin hook-and-loop ankle strap adds support while maintaining a low profile inside the kart.
Ergonomic Heel Counter
Alpinestars’ polypropylene foot counter supports the heel and helps maintain stability during aggressive braking. The ergonomic construction limits unwanted rear-foot movement while allowing the ankle to move naturally.
External Toe Reinforcement
Reinforcement on both sides of the toe improves abrasion resistance and protection in areas commonly exposed to pedals, chassis components, and repeated contact inside the kart.
External Rear Heel Protection
A protective rubber section at the rear of the heel helps resist abrasion and impact while entering the kart, operating the pedals, and walking through the paddock.
Ultra-Thin Formula 1 Specification Sole
The Tech-1 K v2 features an ultra-thin outsole developed using Alpinestars Formula 1 footwear technology. Its exclusive rubber compound is strategically ribbed to provide grip and sensitivity through the pedals.
The rounded heel supports smooth movement between the brake and throttle, while the specialized tread provides dependable grip in both wet and dry conditions.
Comfortable Low-Cut Collar
The soft microfiber collar is cut lower around the rear of the ankle to reduce pressure against the Achilles area. This construction improves comfort and range of motion during repeated pedal operation.
Nitrile Rubber Collar Padding
Lightweight nitrile rubber padding provides support around the ankle without adding excessive bulk. The material helps maintain comfort during long karting sessions while preserving the shoe’s streamlined profile.
Perforated Padded Tongue
The soft padded tongue uses perforations to improve ventilation and comfort across the top of the foot. Its flexible construction works with the asymmetric closure to create an even, secure fit.

Sparco Tide Nomex Racing Gloves
The Sparco Tide Nomex Racing Gloves combine advanced grip technology, vibration absorption, and premium comfort for demanding auto-racing applications. Designed with an anatomically shaped palm, external seams, and Sparco-exclusive 3D HTX material, the Tide provides a secure connection with the steering wheel while helping reduce hand fatigue during long stints.
Touch-S technology on the thumb and index finger allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen data-acquisition systems, mobile devices, and lap-timing applications without removing their gloves.
Sparco 3D HTX Palm Technology
The palm and fingers feature Sparco's exclusive 3D HTX material. This advanced surface is designed to increase grip, absorb steering-wheel vibration, and improve dexterity without adding unnecessary bulk.
The hollow, volcano-shaped HTX structures are strategically arranged to improve durability and maintain consistent contact with the steering wheel. This design helps the driver maintain control while using less gripping pressure, which can reduce fatigue during extended racing sessions.
Anatomically Shaped Palm
The Sparco Tide features an anatomically correct palm that follows the natural contours of the hand. This shape improves comfort and helps the glove remain properly positioned while gripping the steering wheel.
The close, ergonomic construction also improves dexterity when operating paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, switches, and other cockpit controls.
Touch-S Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Sparco Touch-S technology places patented fire-resistant, touchscreen-compatible material on the thumb and index finger. This allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen electronics without removing their gloves.
Touch-S is ideal for using data-acquisition displays, phone-based lap timers, and mobile applications between sessions while maintaining the protective construction of the glove.
External Seams for Improved Comfort
Externally stitched seams move bulky stitching away from the inside of the fingers. This creates a smoother interior surface and helps reduce pressure points when gripping the steering wheel.
The external-seam design provides a more natural feel and improved steering feedback, especially during long races and extended track sessions.
Padded Knuckle Protection
A padded knuckle area provides additional comfort and protection when the hands are bent around the steering wheel. The padding helps protect the knuckles in tight cockpit environments while preserving the flexibility required for precise control.
Elasticated Wrist for a Secure Fit
An elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place while maintaining comfort and flexibility. The streamlined wrist design allows for easy entry and removal while providing dependable overlap with the sleeve of a compatible racing suit.
FIA and SFI-Approved Racing Protection

$99.66
$279.00
Sparco Skid Racing Shoes
The Sparco Skid Racing Shoes combine lightweight construction, premium leather, and an innovative offset closure system for exceptional comfort and precise pedal control. Designed for competitive racing, HPDE events, autocross, and track-day driving, the Skid provides a supportive mid-cut fit without the pressure commonly created by traditional centered laces.
The ultra-soft leather upper conforms comfortably around the foot, while the unique side-mounted closure moves the laces away from the top of the foot. This design reduces pressure points and creates a secure, personalized fit for long sessions behind the wheel.
An ultra-slim rubber outsole provides direct feedback through the brake, throttle, and clutch pedals. The textured tread improves pedal grip, while anti-static, fuel-resistant, and oil-resistant properties make the shoe suitable for demanding motorsports environments.
Unique Offset Closure System
The Sparco Skid replaces a conventional centered tongue and lacing system with an offset closure positioned toward the side of the foot. Moving the laces away from the top of the foot helps reduce pressure and improves comfort during extended racing sessions.
The offset design also creates a smooth upper surface and a secure fit without adding unnecessary bulk around the pedal box.
Ultra-Soft Leather Upper
The premium leather upper provides an effective balance of softness, flexibility, support, and durability. Its lightweight construction allows the shoe to conform closely to the foot while maintaining the structure required for accurate pedal operation.
Textured Lateral Protection
Textured leather reinforcement along the outer side of the shoe improves abrasion resistance in areas that may contact the pedal box, transmission tunnel, or interior panels.
Flexible Rear Collar
A stretch panel at the rear collar allows the ankle and Achilles area to move naturally during braking, shifting, and throttle operation. This flexible construction helps reduce restriction while maintaining support around the heel.
Cushioned Racing Insole
A pre-shaped cushioned insole provides additional support and comfort during long driving sessions. The cushioning helps reduce pressure without interfering with the close pedal connection expected from a performance racing shoe.
Ultra-Slim Lightweight Outsole
The Sparco Skid uses a slim, lightweight rubber outsole designed for accurate pedal feedback. Its low-profile construction allows the driver to feel changes in brake pressure, throttle position, and clutch engagement.
Textured Pedal-Grip Surface
A special texture molded into the pure-rubber outsole improves traction on the pedals. The grip pattern helps maintain consistent contact during hard braking, rapid shifting, and smooth throttle modulation.
Anti-Static and Fluid-Resistant Sole
The outsole incorporates anti-static properties and is resistant to fuel and oil. These features provide added durability and protection in racing, paddock, garage, and pit-lane environments.
Unique Heel Support
The outsole and rear structure provide additional heel support to help stabilize the foot. This improves control during forceful braking and quick transitions between the brake, throttle, and clutch pedals.

Sparco Arrow Nomex Gloves

Sparco Arrow Nomex Racing Gloves
The Sparco Arrow Nomex Racing Gloves combine ultra-lightweight construction, exceptional steering-wheel grip, touchscreen compatibility, and certified fire-resistant protection. Designed for serious auto racing, the Arrow provides the comfort and dexterity drivers need for qualifying laps, sprint races, endurance events, and extended track sessions.
A seamless anatomical palm follows the natural shape of the hand, while Sparco-exclusive HTX grip material is strategically printed across key contact areas for maximum steering feel. Touch-S technology on the thumb and index finger allows drivers to operate compatible touchscreen electronics without removing their gloves.
Pre-curved fingers, external seams, and a unique internal thumb seam help reduce pressure points and hand fatigue. The Sparco Arrow is approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards.
Sparco HTX Palm Technology
The palm features Sparco’s patented HTX material, a high-grip surface designed to increase traction, comfort, and dexterity. HTX is strategically positioned across the main steering-wheel contact areas to provide confident control without adding unnecessary bulk.
The low-profile grip pattern helps preserve steering feedback while reducing the amount of gripping pressure required to maintain control. This can help minimize hand fatigue during long races and repeated track sessions.
Touch-S Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertips
Sparco Touch-S technology places patented fire-resistant touchscreen-compatible material on the thumb and index finger. This allows drivers to operate compatible data-acquisition displays, phone-based lap timers, and mobile applications without removing their gloves.
Touchscreen performance may vary depending on the device, screen protector, and operating conditions.
Anatomically Shaped Seamless Palm
The Sparco Arrow features an anatomically correct palm that follows the natural contours of the hand. The seamless construction helps reduce excess material and uncomfortable pressure points while maintaining close contact with the steering wheel.
This ergonomic design improves dexterity when operating paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, switches, and other cockpit controls.
Pre-Curved Finger Construction
The fingers are pre-curved to follow the natural position of the hand around the steering wheel. This construction reduces resistance through the fingers and allows the driver to maintain a more relaxed grip.
The pre-curved fit is especially valuable during endurance racing and other long driving sessions where reducing hand fatigue is important.
External Seams for Improved Comfort
External stitching moves bulky seams away from the inside of the fingers. This creates a smoother interior surface and helps reduce pressure points while gripping the steering wheel.
The external-seam construction also improves steering feel and comfort during extended competition use.
Unique Internal Thumb Seam
A specially positioned internal thumb seam helps improve comfort in one of the most heavily loaded areas of a racing glove. This construction provides a close, secure fit while reducing irritation around the thumb during prolonged steering-wheel contact.
Ultra-Lightweight Racing Construction
The Sparco Arrow is designed to provide certified protection without unnecessary weight or bulk. Its lightweight materials support natural hand movement and precise cockpit control while maintaining the coverage required for competition.
FIA and SFI-Approved Protection
The Sparco Arrow Nomex Racing Gloves are approved to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 standards. These certifications make them suitable for many professional, amateur, club-level, endurance, rally, and road-racing applications.
Drivers should confirm the required glove certification with their racing organization or sanctioning body before competition.

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.
