Default Matt LeBlanc Porsche 911r Video.... Shoes?

Ok, Since I frequent the 991 forum mostly, this is my favorite 911 video on you tube....


The "R" is the 911 for me if only, I could afford one...lol...

I've seen his shoes before, but I can place the manufacturer...

Anyone know?

This is a fun thread please, no derogatory comments...

The GT3 Touring is a better 911 than the R.

Alpinestars. I'm guessing Tech 1-Z

That is a great video and a great car! I'm so glad that Porsche brought back the manual in the GT3. When they originally announced that they weren't going to offer a manual in the GT cars because the "PDK is quicker around the track." My response was "Do the buyers car about lap times or do they want the best driving experience?" Apparently, 70% of GT3 buyers like driver involvement over lap times.

OP: Alpinestars changes colors up basically every year for their shoes. I have silver/black/red racing shoes from about 8 years ago. The ones Matt is wearing are still being made, but just in different colors.
They are NOT comfortable to walk around in or stand in for long periods of time. When I'm out of the car for endurance races, I'm wearing sneakers to give my feet a break. There is zero support or cushioning in them.
They are, however, fantastic for driving. You can feel the pedals really well. If you're just going to be driving, they are stellar.
Here's their latest offerings:
