The MM93 Faster-4 Shoes combine Marc Marquez’s racing identity with a serious technical construction drawn from decades of Alpinestars R&D at the highest levels of motorsports. The seamless knitted construction is the defining feature, delivering exceptional lightness and breathability while maintaining the structural integrity required for road riding. The main upper is built from advanced microfiber with seamless thermo-welded panels, creating a technical road riding shoe that keeps weight low without compromising protection or performance.

Inside, a 3D mesh lining handles breathability with an anti-sliding microsuede heel, and an additional back flexion point constructed from soft microfiber improves both back flexion and protection. A medial quarter with seamless combined soft TPU area provides structure and comfort on the inside of the foot, and a rear collar in soft textile improves back flexion while adding comfort at the ankle. The unique TPR on the lateral calf and slider details combined with the toe box provide support, protection, and flex on the outer face of the shoe.

Protection is handled through a layered system. Medial dual-density ankle protectors sit between the upper and padded lining for targeted protection and flexibility, and internal toe box and heel counter reinforcement is layered beneath the upper for an ergonomic and supportive design. Enhanced TPU ankle extends into the lower lateral area for improved support, and an asymmetric toe design provides protection in the shift area. The upgraded sole unit uses a new rubber compound for textured grip, excellent absorption, and enhanced sole support with extra durability at the heel. A heel-dampening midsole and replaceable anatomical EVA footbed round out the underfoot package. Traditional lace closure with a lateral hook and loop strap keeps the fit secure. CE certified to EN 13634:2017.
