Nordica: Ignition Ski Boot

Several seasons ago few rival ski boot manufacturers could fill the shoes of the high performance Nordica Beast on the slopes. Now everyone is checking out Nordica's new innovation for the park and pipe. Nordica's Ignition ski boot borrow similar fit and performance elements from Nordica's bestselling Beast collection, but the Ignition has a sole and integrated suspension specifically made for dominating terrain monstrosities. What that means is that the Ignition has stuff like a Full Shock Eraser wedge that helps you take hard landings with less stress. The suspension acts as an interface between your foot and the ski for better stability and turn initiation--especially on trick twins with low swing weights. The FSE liner is a bit wider than other Nordica downhill boots, but it maintains the same levels of shock absorption and vibration dampening found in the built-for-speed Supercharger boots. Up top you'll find patented 45-mm. Twin Energy Driver strap made by Booster. The Booster strap offers better stretch by extending across both sides of the boot for unsurpassed flex response and rebound. The height adjustable rear spoiler and micro-adjustable buckles not only allow you to customize the fit for the park, but also for the other places on the mountain. If you're looking for a serious ski boot that's specialized for tricks, Nordica's Ignition should be the name on the summit of your skiing shopping list. If you don't need the extra stiffness and you prefer a looser, classic freestyle fit, check out Nordica's new Flash ski boot. It's also freestyle oriented, but the Nordica Flex index tops out at 70 on that boot.
