Deeluxe D.N.A Essential Black UNISEX FREESTYLE BOOT IN Essential Black FLEX RATE: 4/10 Get hooked With a look and feel inspired by a trusted pair of sneakers, the DNA has quickly emerged as a favorite among riders who spend their days jibbing and lapping the park. With a slightly softer flex, the DNA pairs out-of-the-box comfort with all of the features you need to have a great day slaying the slopes or seeking out kickers and rails. Combining the best of both worlds, its traditional laces offer a classic ride and clean appearance while the boot’s BOA® Fit System allows you to quickly and effortlessly attain a precise fit in the heel and ankle area. The Power Strap delivers additional support at the shin to further enhance response. Especially thin, the boot’s deconstructed-style Jib Tongue is paired with a grippy Skate Flex sole to directly transfer power and maximize boardfeel. And thanks to its Stage 2 liner, the boot provides an impressive ride from day one. The only downside? The DNA is so comfortable you might forget you’re wearing it long after you step off the snow.

Whether you’re lapping the park or sessioning the streets, the Skate Flex sole rides like a champ. Jib Tongue: Lean and mean, DEELUXE’s Jib Tongue is at home in the park and the streets, yet it’s also perfect for anyone seeking an incredibly precise and responsive ride. Especially thin, this deconstructed-style tongue offers maximum power transfer and a direct boot-to-binding connection.

And to enable you to further customize your boot’s flex, the Jib Tongue has a single-position pocket that can accommodate an optional Flex Booster. Whether locking in your boardslides or boosting your ollies, the Jib Tongue delivers the power and precision you need to take your riding to the next level.

Boots with a dual zone BOA® configuration provide zonal adjustability so you can create a truly customized fit, for even longer days on the hill. Powder Strap: This strap provides extra support for your shin to enhance response. 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. Stage Two: Consider it love at first sight—or first fit. With an emphasis on comfort, DEELUXE’s Stage 2 liner offers an unsurpassed out-of-the box fit. Inspired by DEELUXE’s iconic Comfort Flex liner, it sports a fresh highback shape to enhance heelhold and performance. And for a custom fit, the liner can also be thermomolded. Whether it’s your first day of the season or your hundredth, the Stage 2 liner shares your passion and fuels your progression. Back Bone: This reinforced panel cradles the back of the boot to maximize durability and enhance response. Lace: Traditional lacing provides a classic look and feel. Sizes & Mondo Sizes Explained:Unfortunately, many riders choose boots in the wrong size. They often do this by simply defaulting to their shoe size when selecting boots. Yet the fit and size of boots vary tremendously across brands. Your local snowboard shop will be able to pair you with your correct DEELUXE boot size in seconds with the help of our DEELUXE FOOT MEASUREMENT tool. Additionally, there is also a quick and easy way to find out your correct DEELUXE boot size at home. All you need for it is a ruler or a measuring tape and then follow these steps: Take off your shoes, stand, and place your feet on the ruler/measuring tape. Be sure that your heels are exactly located where the scale unit of the ruler/measuring tape starts. Now use the location of your toes on the ruler to determine your proper Mondo size. The Mondo size exactly matches the total length of your feet in cm. Please note that the volume and length of your feet increases throughout the day. Consequently, if you’re measuring your feet in the morning, we recommend selecting a boot that’s a half-size larger.
