Alpinestars has released its 2019 Five Star limited edition collection in honour of the US Armed Forces for San Diego’s Military Appreciation round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.

Inspired by the colours of the US Navy’s Top Guns, the Tech 7 boots and Racer Tech gear set feature a distinctive cool grey and bright red colour scheme, complete with navy symbols and a warning triangle.

The CE certified Tech 7 is a technologically advanced and protective boot that incorporates innovative design materials in a streamlined boot for a lighter, more anatomically profiled performer.

The Five Star boots are complemented by matching Racer Tech jersey and pants and Radar glove, which all feature the same technical innovations and performance as every item in our motocross range. Designed to be worn with the Five Star Tech 7 boots, the striking outfit is a fitting tribute to America’s military personnel.
