There was the Faster. And the Faster 2. The Stella Faster for women and the Vented version for warm-blooded feet. There was the Faster 3 - RIDEKNIT. And now there is the Stella Faster 3 - Rideknit. A top of the range motorcycle shoe. And we'll briefly explain why.
All the knowledge and experience from previous Faster versions would be a feather in the cap of many manufacturers. This is Alpinestars, however, with already quite some knowledge and experience at hand. Hence, the Stella Faster 3 has become a very high-performance summer shoe.
Alpinestars connoisseurs know that the woman is the real star and therefore all ladies’ versions get 'Stella' in the name. The difference with the men's version is mainly in the slightly slimmer and tighter sizes. And in the color.
The ventilating panels are equally present and consist of knitted mesh. Yes, they are. You can't see that by the way, but this Faster 3 takes its Rideknit name from it. For the rest of the explanation, this isn’t relevant. 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 remains optimally breathable and comfortable. Even when you're on the move in a very active way, the construction of the Stella Faster 3 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 Stella Faster 3 - Rideknit. The welded microfibers to have a better motorcycle feeling and contact. A cutout at the Achilles tendon for mobility. Despite that, lots of support and a soft padding on the ankle. An external TPR toe slider. An external TPR heel guide. The asymmetrical toe which allows - even without shifting 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. Or the attention paid to comfort and detail everywhere.
The Stella Faster 3 - Rideknit is a topper in the making. A summer shoe that allows you to do sprints both on and off the bike and makes sure you can appear anywhere in style. The Alpinestars Stella Faster 3 - Rideknit opens and closes with laces, of which you hide the loops under the velcro closure. That combination allows you to adjust the shoe to size perfectly.
Top of the range motorcycle shoe. We told you.
