Nike is now making ski boots (or at least having another company put the swoosh on them for Nike)

Nike usually innovates the best equipment in each sport because they are a monopoly. It might suck for other companies, but it will only benefit skiers by bringing more equipment choice.

That looks like a shoe. Judging by looks, I have no idea how you could have any control of your skis when skiing because the boot is so soft and unsupportive.

That boot is just a photoshopped snowboard boot for all the people talking about how it would or wouldn't work. My roommates dad works designing for nike snow and i had him confirm that nike is not making ski boots. What sammy c has on are made by another company and then he stuck nike branding on them

Thank fucking christ. The last thing we need is the equivalent of Jordans in ski boots. I hate all of you fuckers that cream over a new pair of shoes just because they are Jordans or Nike

A MONOPOLY IS WHEN ONE COMPANY OWNS THE ENTIRE MARKET.

For example if you can only get your gas or cable from one company they have a monopoly it is in no way related at all to the ski boot industry.

They wouldn't be better of worse then full tilts or spks because people have different feet sizes as well as needs from their boots. However nike's production capabilities should allow them to produce boots at a lower cost then most of the competition causing supply to shift right. Demand for ski boots should stay the same because people don't care how they are made but the shift in supply will move the equilibrium price of boots down.

Therefore if Nike entered the ski boot market they could produce boots of the same quality as full tilt and spk, possibly at lower price that would benefit us; the consumer.

Eh realistically no. Nike doesn't produce anything close to boots so it's a big leap for them, and they wouldn't produce any more than say Lange or Nordica or salomon already do.

Snowboard boots?

Fair enough I have no idea where spks or full tilts are made so I can't speak to that, but Nike is a large corporation who knows how to make this cheap and there competition will be enough to make other companies more efficient.

Snowboard boots are not like ski boots at all. They don't have the same hard plastic lining and mechanics. Nike does know how to make things in large quantities, but Nordica for example is a mass producer of boots as they make all types of boots, not just freeski boots, so they would be just as cheap and efficient as nike

Once again Nike will bring in competition forcing other companies to perform more efficiently.

No shit the about the monoply part. I get that but what other term would you have rather me used?

Nike is a halfway decent company but to me it seems like all of their stuff is over priced and not that well made. I have a couple of nike hoodies and they were like 40 - 50 bucks. They do not keep me warm on a 55 degree day. That aside their shoes come apart within 1 year of gym class. It seems like the boots would be about the same quality as the other products they produce.

All in a I see where you are comming from but leave the ski companies to make ski boots and nike can make their basketball shoes
