Of all the personalities in the MotoGP trackside, Honda racer Marc Marquez has got to be towards the top of the list for popularity.
From his constant fight back to the circuit after sustaining multiple injuries (including Diplopia), to his recent participation in the Amazon Prime ‘Unlimited’ DocuSeries, and all the way to last year’s inspired leather unit, #93 continues to influence a new generation of riders.
In line with this docket comes a collaboration between the Honda racer and Alpinestars, with the end result being dubbed the 2023 MM93 Track Leather Jacket.
So how did they deck this particular jacket out?
Lots of Team Honda inspo – and a bit of premium in the material/accoutrements to make the price just right.
“…the collaborative piece adopts MM93 branding and accents in Honda’s signature red,” states RideApart.
“Alpinestars embroidered a gray MM93 logo on the chest with a red ‘Marc Marquez’ script and a red Alpinestars badge on the left shoulder…at the back, a red ‘Ninety Three’ adds a premium yet understated touch.”
Alpinestars X Marquez doesn’t stop there, either.
The abrasion-resistant cowhide has been bedecked in stretch panels (sides, underarms, shoulders) and accordion segments/waist adjuster straps/zippered cuffs for comfort, with the jacket also featuring a (removable) thermal liner and Alpinestars Nucleon Flex Pro protectors, rendering a Class AA-rating.
There’s also the potential to soup up the whole equation with Alpinestars’ Tech-Air 5 airbag system.
One colorway, to keep the inspiration focused – but for that you’re also getting 48 to 60 in EU sizing and a $569.95 USD pricepoint.
