Medium Performance Fit – 100 mm last with high performance liner

45 Degree Closure – A 45 degree buckle provides maximum heel retention by locking the heel into the rear pocket of the boot while ensuring forefoot comfort and warmth. It also allows for super easy entry and exit of the boot no matter the temperature!

Dynamic Performance Code 130-3-H – 130 is the stiffest of Nordica’s high performance boots. // 3x (progression) - the boot stiffness almost triples at the deepest flexing point. // High (rebound) returns the boot at the highest rate for quick turns and edge change.

Park Progressive Flex – The stiffness of the boot progressively increases as the boot flexes deeper to amplify power transmission to the ski. The Park Flex Zone is a unique design engineered to enable freeskiers to push the boundaries of what can be done on skis. The lower portion is left open for a soft initial flex to allow for easy ankle flexion which is key for adjusting to features, jumping, and buttering in the park and beyond. The Park Progressive Flex Blocks are placed high and wide to decrease the flex progression in the most forward zone of the boot to support skiers landing big airs and in the switch position.

New PFP Performance Fit FSE Pro with Tech Leather/3D Velvet – Extra thick Full Shock Eraser Liner for increased shock absorption and snugger fit. Hand-stitched liners designed for improved comfort and performance with increased toe area box for enhanced circulation and warmth.

Three Piece Shell Design – Unlike traditional overlap boot shells that focus on fore and aft retention, Nordica’s FireArrow, Transfire and Ace collections use a shell design built to enhance the boot’s lateral precision. Increased lateral precision is key for better control of today’s newer, wider and more ambitious ski shapes.

PU Ether
