New Kicks
With SIA this past weekend, there was an opportunity to see much of what is coming down the pipes gear-wise for next year’s riding season. This current season saw the introduction of this technical boot from Nike Snowboarding, released with an ACG inspired colorway as a throwback from the archives of Nike. What we see coming in 2011 for the Zoom Air Kaiju is no different, as Nike likes to use their resources to add to the aesthetics of these boots. This time around there is an obvious poke at the tech challenge tennis sneakers from the Agassi days, as well as one that touches more on the color palette made famous by late 80’s Jordans. For snowboarders that are also sneaker heads, and for those with taste, next season is looking good to pick up a pair of Kaijus.

Next season also sees the introduction of a pro model for Nike Snowboarding. Headliner Danny Kass will also receive his own pro model boot, both in purple and red colorways. Minimal looking compared to the ZF1, and a throwback style 70’s swoosh on the side. More info as it comes from SIA.
