adidas Originals Snowboard Boot

Old School
Back in the day when adidas owned the Salomon Group they had all kinds of access to all kinds of crazy things. These are a pair of adidas Snowboard boots modelled after the adidas Originals Forum mid sneaker, one of the best sneakers to get down in back in the day. The boot was most likely derived from a Salomon boot platform, but all the styling goes to adidas Originals. 50 pairs were created for VIPs and friends of adidas, with no other pairs expected to be made after that.

Kaiju is the Future
Next season’s boot offering from Nike Snowboarding looks to be promising with the introduction of their second model, the Zoom Kaiju. This is a more technical style boot compared to their initial Zoom Force 1, and offers a host of new features. The most notable being a Nike Free sole with zoom air cushioning, which gives better feel and better impact resistance. A one piece TPU backing in the rear helps prevent wear and tear from binding crunch, while offering greater flex front-to-back. The boots will come in four colorways and retail for $350 USD. Available in 09/10.

Don’t drink the yellow snow DK-YS
The second artist-based collaboration from Nike Snowboarding has Seattle-based artist Arbito doing the graphics for Danny Kass’ signature Zoom Force 1 boot. The very colorful all-over pattern is reminiscent of everything psychedelic and wild, and fit perfectly with Danny’s swagger. Arbito’s drawings extend into a collection of t-shirts, poster and jacket, which are available at select retailers that carry the line. The DK-YS microsite ties everything together with a great video to put everything in context. Check it!
