History of Alpinestars
Alpinestars was named after the everlasting perennial Alpine star flower, found in Asolo, Italy, the founders hometown. A leather craftsman, Sante Mazzarolo began crafting the first Alpinestars products in 1963 when the new sport called motocross was establishing itself and gaining popularity across Europe. Mazzarolo combined his leather craftsmanship expertise to create footwear that provides much-needed protection to the daredevils of extreme motorcycle riding. His design became the archetype of motocross protection, revolutionising the rider protection industry.
