Nidecker Kita Hybrid Snowboard Boots

1:1 Lasting: This new new last is the keystone of the boot - the best fit in snowboarding today. Nidecker landed on an 8° forward lean - the sweet spot between comfort and performance. 1:1 Lasting means a specific liner, shell and footbed for each full and half size. Women’s, men’s and youth boots seperate lasts for full anatomical accuracy

Internal Heel Lock: Powered by the external side dial, the double lace goes through an internal harness attached to the shell and tongue. When you tighten it, it creates a three-dimensional ankle lock. Lateral tightening from the harness around the ankle ball, and frontally from laces which pass through the tongue, lowering it downards against your instep

3D Molded Tongue: The asymmetrical tongue is 3D molded and curved towards the medial side, following the naturally raised ridgeline of your forefoot to alleviate pressure points and give a more balanced feel of comfort and support. An anatomically correct and asymmetrical tongue performs better than a standard straight one.

3D Molded Toe Box: These toebox designs eliminate extra layers and seams around the toe of the boot to create a durable and streamlined design with less bulk and a better FlowFit on your foot, and a better FlowFit in your bindings.

Exo./Spine: Exo-Spine Technology is an external backstay designed to be a reinforced link between the different parts of the boot and deliver an instantaneous transfer of force from heel to toe. It also offers extra stiffness for optimal support, as well as increased durability. It tessalates to the outsole via the Transition Zone, which means you won’t hook up on a binding heelcup when you unstrap and lift up

Gold-Level ASYM Thermo Heat Moldable Liner: This sleekly redesigned Gold-Level ASYM Thermo Heat Moldable liner who features a new asymmetrical wrap closure function this year, in addition to the Ripper-lacing closure harness, that give you the possibility to tighten the upper and lower parts separately, in one movement, even when your boot is closed up. The pinnacle of comfort and support, the Gold-Level ASYM Thermo Heat Moldable is even more fully customizable to the form of your foot with the wrap closure system. This liner features high-density thermo foam, an extra padded comfort-cuff and tongue, a neoprene custom flex-zone toebox, internal multi-layer latex J-bars and external J-bars plus, heel and tibia Eva reinforcement panels for optimal support and superior heel-hold.

H4 Coiler™ BOA Technology: Effortless and fast, the Coiler quickly takes up lace slack, increasing speed of entry into the boot. Ready for anything, designed to withstand

Hybrid Lacing: Traditional laces allowing precision closure eyelet by eyelet. Special Speed Hook clasp locks in tension on the lower part. Side- dial BOA adjusts an Internal Heel Lock harness, which immobilizes the ankle and prevents heel lift in three dimensions.

3D-Molded Triple-Density: An advanced anatomical shape in comfort EVA with high-density EVA supporting the deep heel cup and arch, and special high-rebound EVA cushioning the heel. A Silicone topprint adds traction to the fleecelined footbed.

Vibram® Approach Outsole: This top-of-the-range outsole comes with a full EVA midsole for the best possible comfort under the whole foot. An OC-Kush insert gives excellent dampening under the heel. The highlight is the new Vibram ICE-TREK compound, which is the best rubber available for cold, icey or snowy surfaces. Extra grip at toe and heel was inspired by fish scales.

OC Kush: Shock-absorbing dynamic gel pads are inserted into the outsole around the heel and in the forefoot area. This special cushioning system allow to reduces fatigue and improves comfort.

Space Blanket: Shock-absorbing dynamic gel pads are inserted into the outsole around the heel and in the forefoot area. This special cushioning system allow to reduces fatigue and improves comfort.

Armor-Tech Waterproof Shell: Made with incredibly durable, high-tech materials, this construction combines a waterproof bladder with a reinforced skeleton and our Exo-Spine external backstay designed to be a re-enforced connection between the different parts of the boot, deliver an instantaneous transfer of force from heel to toe, and provide extra stiffness for optimal support as well as a reassuring feeling of security.
