Alpinestars Harlem Air Boots

The Harlem Air boots look quite a bit different than most street/sport boots. These have more of a fashion flare. I’d venture more of a European fashion flare. They look somewhat like Harley style boots, but more “dressy”. The “Air” version of the boot has large panels of mesh material that allow for air flow through the boot. One can easily blow through the mesh panels, so they would almost certainly be very effective to keep your feet cool in hot weather. The leather used seems high quality and should break in easily. The way the sewing is ended at the very top of the boots looks like it would necessitate the use of some heavy socks for a while until that leather softens up, but it should be OK after breaking in. There is double leather over the toe shifting area, but it’s just leather, so it will get scuffed (most MC boots have rubber or plastic here). I like the molded sole. Seems super grippy.

Note about color: We’ve included Alpinestar’s factory picture in our photo gallery, but it is WAY off on this boot. The leather portions of the boot are all black leather with a softer matte finish. Definitely not the two-tone look of the factory picture.
