There was the Faster. And the Faster 2. The Stella Faster for women and the Vented version for warm-blooded feet. And now there is the Faster 3 - RIDEKNIT. Top of the line shoe. And we'll briefly explain why.
All the knowledge and experience from previous Faster versions would be a pat on the back for many manufacturers. This is Alpinestars, however, where there is already quite some knowledge and experience on board. That's why the Faster 3 is a very high-performance summer shoe.
The ventilating panels are abundantly present and consist of knitted mesh. Yes, they are. You can't see that by the way, but this Faster 3 derives its Rideknit name from it. Further, this is of little relevance. The combination of the mesh with advanced and welded microfiber results in an outer layer that can withstand more than just an enthusiastic ride. And that also remains optimally breathable and comfortable. Even when you're on the go in a very active way, the construction of the Faster 3 still allows for some riding wind.
Not surprising, because Alpinestars earned its stripes in racing and on the track. You'll notice that when you take a closer look at the list of features on the Faster 3. The welded microfibers to have a better bike connection. A cutout at the height of the Achilles tendon for mobility. Despite that, plenty of support and soft padding on the ankle. An external TPR toe slider. An external TPR heel guide. The asymmetrical toe which allows - even without shift reinforcement - firm passage through the gears. We haven't even mentioned the very prominent protection in the form of ankle protection or the reinforced toe and heel. We haven't even mentioned the abrasion-resistant sole with integrated metal strip. About the attention paid to comfort and detail everywhere.
The Faster 3 is a top-act in the making. A summer shoe that lets you sprint both on and off the bike and lets you appear everywhere in style. The Alpinestars Faster 3 opens and closes with laces, hiding the loops under the velcro closure. That combination allows you to adjust the shoe to size perfectly.
