What do you think? Full tilt rebranding or a whole new boot?

*SPECULATION* i.e. calm the fuck down.

They will be all new boots. It would only hurt FT if they simply used their molds but changed the colors.

They will be released for the 13/14 season, so their design/features are mega top secret, so any spy shots now will result in your untimely death.

My guess is they will look normal as fuck to appeal to the general public. Maybe a few querky triangles here and there

People who are saying that K2 Skis is going to make a boot like FT are wrong. For one, K2 skis does not own full tilt, it's K2 Sports that owns FT, Line, K2, and others... so you're not going to see a rebranded FT boot.

Im going for them targeting more of the backcountry AT market which is where it seems they are going with their skis...Although I am expecting some mainstream styles like salomon

not true actually. K2 skis/snowboards, full tilt, line, etc. is owned by k2 sports, which is owned by a whole other parent corporation that also owns volkl and a shit ton of other outdoor companies.

almost. k2, inc. owns k2 skis, line, marker, and volkl, etc. k2, inc. is owned by the Jarden Corporation, which like you said is a conglomerate that owns a ton of companies. Jarden bought k2 and all of its subsidiaries in '07 for $1.2 billion.

interesting stuff haha. volkl, line, k2 skis are all competitors but in reality, they aren't...

Spoiler alert: K2 park boot. Take a K2 snowboard boot and mold plastic around the lower boot and up the calf so that it looks like an oversized version of the K2 fatty inline skate but with a ski boot sole. Soft boot/hard boot hybrid that will only work for "park" applications. Speculation over. Lol
