DEELUXE AERIS Boot kb

Armed with a vision entirely his own, Kevin Backstrom devours everything in sight–while also oozing style. With the goal of creating the ultimate all terrain boot–and one truly capable of meeting his needs–we worked with Kevin to test out a slew of boots from our collection and identify his favorite features. We then mixed together all of these ingredients–and refined the recipe again and again–to develop his signature boot, the Aeris. For exceptional board feel, the Aeris features our tried and tested Quantum sole. This sole provides an especially direct and responsive ride while also offering strategic cushioning to dampen vibrations and absorb impact energy. The boot’s Sidekick Pro technology uses a high-frequency welding process to fuse lateral and medial reinforcing elements to the boot’s shell. This provides faster edge-to-edge transitions and better pop when ollieing. The Double Back offers additional protection from binding abrasions and boosts control and precision. The newest generation of the Aeris is equipped with a snow shield that protects the lower part of the boot from snow, ice, and moisture in order to keep your feet dry. Reimagine what’s possible–and transform how you approach the mountain–with the Aeris.

Features:
- Freestyle Tongue: As versatile as it is dependable, DEELUXE’s Freestyle Tongue is the perfect choice for riders who view the entire mountain as their playground. Armed with a classic appearance and medium padding, it offers a precise boot-to-binding interface and effectively transmits power while also enhancing dampening. And to enable you to further tailor your boot’s flex to your riding style, it sports a single-position pocket for an optional Flex Booster. Kickers, side hits, and rails—the Freestyle Tongue can handle it all.
- L3 BOA®: Consider it a match made in heaven—or at least on the snow. To create a next-level fit that’s especially precise, we’ve teamed up with BOA® to develop our new L3 BOA®. This fresh design combines the advantages of our proven L3 lacing system with the signature performance of the BOA® Fit System. Thanks to this revolutionary pairing of L3 and BOA®, you can separately and precisely adjust the foot and calf area of your boot with one dial and secure the ankle and heel area with a second dial lightning fast. Powerful and precise, the L3 BOA® delivers exceptional performance without compromising comfort. Throw down in confidence with the L3 BOA®.
- Power Strap: This strap provides extra support for your shin to enhance your boot’s response.
- Free Flex: Thanks to forefoot and shaft panels that overlap near the heel of the shell, this construction creates a supportive, surf-like flex.
- Flex Booster: Available as an accessory, the Flex Booster strengthens a boot’s tongue, creating a stiffer flex while offering additional support. It can also prolong the life of a boot by restoring or enhancing its flex. Thanks to a progressive design, it provides greater resistance as it bends, optimizing support and protection—especially from harsh landings. As icing on the cake, the Flex Booster enables you to modify a boot’s flex for specific adventures—be that reinforcing the flex of a jib boot to slay kickers or transforming a freestyle boot into a banked slalom hero. You don’t need gym shorts to appreciate this flex.
- Sidekick Pro: It’s time to meet your new partner in progression—DEELUXE’s Sidekick Pro. Building on the success of the Sidekick, this supercharged version uses a high-frequency welding process to fuse lateral and medial reinforcing elements to the boot’s shell. This creates an especially snappy ride that provides lightning-fast transitions from edge to edge and exceptional pop when ollieing. And by offering additional security, it reduces the likelihood of rolling your ankle. When it’s time to charge hard, the Sidekick Pro loves to throw down.
- Double Back: Good things are worth doubling down on—for proof, look no further than DEELUXE’s Double Back. This reinforced rubber highback at the boot’s heel zone enhances durability by offering protection from binding abrasions. It also stiffens the boot to boost response and adheres better to a binding’s highback. By improving the interface between the boot and binding, the Double Back reduces movement between them, offering greater control and precision. Don’t look back—just charge forward with DEELUXE’s Double Back.
- Backbone: This reinforced panel cradles the back of the boot to maximize durability and enhance response.
- Snow Shield: The Snow Shield protects the lower part of the boot from snow, ice, and moisture to keep your feet dry.
