FILA and Honda Racing have joined forces to create a shoe collection that combines FILA’s rich design heritage and Honda Racing’s commitment to fulfill every car enthusiast’s racing dreams.

The collaborative footwear line pays homage to Honda’s outstanding core technology and culture of innovation, as well as its appeal to young car enthusiasts.

Each shoe in this collection has many special features such as: a low profile outsole that allows the wearer to feel the control of the gear and the gas pedals when driving. An internal injected EVA midsole provides maximum comfort without adding weight or thickness. Lightweight upper materials as well as ballistic mesh panels allow breathability while maintaining strength. Available in either low or mid top, and four traffic stopping color ways, the Honda Racing shoe also includes Polyurethane panels for excellent fit and durability at the heel.

“For many years, Honda enthusiasts have campaigned our products in racing series throughout the U.S.,” said Erik Berkman, President of Honda Performance Development. “We are pleased to announce that we will now support those efforts directly, by introducing products and services geared toward helping our customers fulfill their racing dreams.

The Honda Racing Shoe collection by FILA will be available in August 2009 through FILA’s foremost retail partners fila.com and hondaracingline.com.

Alpinestars’ footwear legacy has paved the way for the emergence of Alpinestars’ latest innovation:  the Shibuya Shoe($169.95).

Inspired by the retro youths of Japan, the Shibuya was inspired by styles seen on the cosmopolitan scooter and moped enthusiasts, and fused with basketball footwear designs.

Here, the Shibuya is offered in a waterproof slate gray leather-like design which offers protective comfort without sacrificing freedom of personal style.
