Are these on the market or are they specially for F1 drivers?

Hamilton has been wearing some really cool reeboks lately.

They stand out a lot. But it's silly for them to be so flashy, yet they don't seem to be available on any of the reebok sites.

Are the pilots' shoes just for marketing/product placement?

The ferrari driving shoes are pretty cool as well.

Ferrari's look like they're made out of nasty shiny plastic. I'd prefer something that looks like it belongs to a human being, not Buzz Lightyear. Like Piloti.

How about the reeboks?
They aren't as clowny as the ferrari shoes.

The question is though, are these on the consumer market?

You could contact Reebok about it and get the answer straight from the source.

They will help you save a few tenths on RFactor. :lol:

I have not seen these type of shoes in the market, or am I just looking in the wrong place? I have tried the Puma concept store near my place and the closest ones they have are the pairs of shoes they wear on the regular. The ones with a lower cut, unlike these that reach the ankle.

I have to agree that the Ferrari's look a little funny to me though that matches with the shine that their red car gives off, so that would not take too much from them.

Are they really Ferraris shoes they use in the car though?

Doesn´t really look like it, looks more like a pair of shoes you would find in a Ferrari Store.

Could be though ;)

The high tops look cooler.
I dont really like the low cut. They just look too dainty and retro to me.

It would be a shame though if those cool high tops weren't on the market.
They actually look pretty heavy duty for different kinds of driving.

Dang, even Vettel has a nice pair of pumas, so does button.

Where are these space boots?!! Don't tell me only the F1 pilots get these. :P

Mclaren would stand to make some dough, selling decent racing shoes instead of those sketchers looking grey sneakers they'r pushing.
They look like ron designed them himself. :lol:
