jj65 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I noticed a Japanese rider wearing boots just like the works riders, with the stitched on sole, so are they the new 2014 boot we can buy. I need a new pair soon (mine are getting a bit tired) and would rather wait for a new version if there is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Your very observant .The top riders have always worn boots that are a little different but normally this came down to colours. The Japanese have often had access to superior parts and clothing. I wouldnt be surprised if theyre for sale over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj65 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Yeah, all the alpinestar sponsored riders have worn a pair like the ones above for quite a while now, but this rider, No.58 is wearing what I can only assume are new "production" boots. He's either nabbed a pair off Fuji or bought them, but Tomi and Kenny aren't wearing them, they still have the old style. Do you happen to know who imports alpinestar into the uk, then I could ask. (I also noticed there's a new Arai helmet, completely different to the previous Penta) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philrain Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sure looks like a new boot coming soon, Lampkin sporting new style alpines in the SSDT. Hope they release them soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
