Gaerne SG22 MAGMA MJK Limited Edition Boot — Deep Black / Fiery Red
Available Sizes: 9 | 9.5 | 10 | 11 | 12 Color: Black/Fiery RedGaerne has been handcrafting motocross boots in Italy since 1962. The SG22 is the top of that lineage — the boot that evolved from the SG12, refined with input from professional racers, and built for riders who refuse to compromise on protection, feel, or fit. The MAGMA MJK LE is not a cosmetic update. It's the full SG22 platform — every performance feature intact — wrapped in a limited edition collaboration with motocross artist Michael J. Kicks. Deep Black and Fiery Red with bronze accents throughout. Magma-inspired detailing that holds up in person as much as in photos. Once this run sells out, it's gone.

What's Inside the Boot
The SG22 didn't just get a new name when it replaced the SG12. Every system was looked at, and most were changed for the better.Ankle Protection The Dual Stage Pivot System 1.0 uses two limit switches to restrict hyperextension, hyperflexion, and lateral movement at the ankle — the three directions a motocross crash is most likely to push a joint past its safe range. The geometry of the hinge was also reworked to more closely follow the natural path of ankle movement, which means the boot works with you rather than against you when you're riding. You get protection without sacrificing feel. Interior Comfort and Stability The Memory Foam 1.0 interior was redesigned from scratch. The injected foam takes the shape of your ankle over time and stabilizes the whole foot — it's less about cushioning and more about giving the foot a single locked-in reference point inside the boot. When your foot and boot move as one unit, you ride with more confidence and less fatigue. Grip Guard and Bike Feel The inner leg area that contacts the bike is lined with Grip Guard 1.0 rubber elements. The compound was developed specifically with professional riders to improve protection where the boot takes heat and abrasion from the frame and engine, and to dial in the right amount of friction so you feel the bike rather than sliding around on it. Toe Box and Shifting The three-dimensional toe box construction reduces the height between the sole and the rear shift lever. That translates directly to faster, cleaner shifts — less movement required to engage the lever, better feedback through the foot, and a lower overall toe profile that feels more natural on the peg. Sole Dual density inserts are positioned across the sole to give you grip and durability on the footpeg without sacrificing traction and cushioning when you're walking. The Microshock heel uses multiple density compounds to absorb micro-impacts when cornering — the small repeated forces that add up to fatigue and soreness over a long moto. Goodyear Welted Construction Gaerne has used Goodyear Welted construction since 1962. It creates a more robust and durable sole structure than bonded or cemented alternatives, and it means the sole can be replaced by a professional when it finally wears out. Most MX boots are disposable. This one isn't.
Fit and Adjustability
The aluminum Superlight Buckles have a new finish that fits the MAGMA colorway, and the upper locking lever adjusts to three separate positions beyond the standard strap adjustment. Combined with the frontal shin guard's two positioning options, you have enough range to get a proper fit regardless of calf size and to accommodate most knee brace setups without fighting the boot every time you gear up.Air vents near the front plate feed into 3D internal channels that run through the boot, moving air in, moisture out, and heat away from your foot during hard riding. It's not just ventilation holes — the channels are designed to create actual airflow paths rather than just venting to the nearest surface.
The MJK Collaboration
The SG22 MAGMA MJK Limited Edition is a collaboration between Gaerne and motocross artist Michael J. Kicks. Deep Black and Fiery Red with bronze accent detailing — the magma-inspired colorway was developed together as a genuine creative project, not a licensing arrangement. The design details are integrated into the boot's hardware, paneling, and stitching rather than printed on top of a standard color scheme.
CE Certified — Made in Italy
The SG22 MAGMA MJK LE is CE certified in accordance with EN 13634:2017 and Regulation EU 2016/425. Every pair is handcrafted in Italy under the same standards Gaerne has maintained since Ernesto Gazzola founded the company over 60 years ago.

Who This Is For
Riders who want the best MX boot available and want it to look different from every other boot in the pits. The SG22 platform has spent years at the top of the professional and amateur MX boot conversation — the protection system, the Italian construction, and the fit quality are all proven at the highest level of the sport.The MAGMA MJK LE is the version for riders who care about how their kit looks as much as how it performs. Limited production means this isn't something you'll see everywhere, and once the sizes are gone they're not coming back.
FAQs
How does Gaerne sizing compare to regular US shoe sizing? Gaerne boots generally run true to US sizing. If you're between sizes or plan to wear thicker socks, sizing up is usually the right call. When in doubt, go half a size up. Will these work with knee braces? Yes. The three-position upper locking lever and two-position frontal shin guard were specifically designed to accommodate knee brace fitment across a wide range of calf sizes and brace profiles. Most major brands fit comfortably with proper adjustment. Can the sole be replaced when it wears out? Yes. The Goodyear Welted construction allows for professional resoling. A qualified cobbler or boot repair shop can replace the sole rather than retiring the boot — which is a meaningful cost savings over a riding career compared to boots that are bonded and not repairable. Is this actually a limited edition? Yes. The MAGMA MJK LE was produced in a limited run as a collaboration with artist Michael J. Kicks. Once the available inventory is gone this colorway will not be reissued. If you're on the fence, don't wait. What safety certifications does the SG22 carry? CE certified in accordance with EN 13634:2017 and Regulation EU 2016/425 — the current European standard for motorcycle protective footwear. Is size 10.5 or 13 available? This listing covers sizes 9 through 12. For availability outside that range, check current stock at WyldPerformance.com or contact us directly.
