That's sick. How'd you find that out and do you have any pics of the new ones? Not the foils, I've seen them like 548854324632643264632 times.

next yr the gun isnt a pro model liek this yrs, and only space frame shell
and the 1080 foil is gonna be called the foil still having spaceframe technology
its their new catagory for boots

gun is black
and the foil is white on bottom and blue on top (shin area) they both look sick
and both ahev the writing thats is similar to te ones on the skis
the boots are gonna be really sick

Wait til you feel them. I have a feeling they will be comfy, but I can't say yet.

I tried the SPK on @ a trade show and it's impressive. Very comfy, the fit is perfect and the 2 buckles give great foothold.

Btw, both buckles are bottle openers.

The heel in the liner has shock absorber and there is also a gel pad under the liner. This boot is ultra slick for jibbing. And it's not as soft as your may think with 2 buckles.

Also there's a EVA hight back. Similar to snowboard high back to take up the shock slamming your heels on hard snow.

This boot is about snow and rail feel, it's a real ski boot so you can ski with it not problem. But it excels in the park.

Other cool thing is the SPK will be a very exclusive boot, it will be in the core shops only.

If there's anything dumber than buying skis based on how they look, its buying boots on how they look.

i want that spk boot, provided it's got alot of flex (i'm a smaller guy who likes a cush boot) and the two buckle system holds my foot secure, which is the only problem i see with having no buckles in the forefoot

the foil has an 85 same as the teneighty. and the SPK can't be much different.
