Can somebody point me out the differences between the new Drop Kicks vs Classics and the pro models. Maybe I didnt research hard enough but they seem like the same boot. Ive rode my 2014 b&e’s for like 5 szns now and I love the fit so I want new ones, I just don’t know the real differences between them. Thx

They’re the same boot just the classic has an 8 flex instead of 6. Most of the pro models just have some upgraded features and there is slight differences between the soul and classic shells

Drop kick and classic doesn’t have the same shell than the b&e. Foot last is 99 on drop kick and classic and like 102 on b&e (and descendant whit the same shell). If you have a large foot you may stay on b&e or you will be too tight in your new one...

Not sure where you’re looking but drop kick pro and classic pro are both $500 msrp. But yea it’s whack sometimes the first chair 120 and 130 are the same except the flex and the 130 legit is $100 more.

Oh are you talking the drop kick vs drop kick pro? The pro has a different liner than the regular drop kick but I think that’s the only difference.

The 2014 version of the b&e was the drop kick shell. They switched it in recent years

Oh my bad dude ur right. I must have been looking at the 2021 and 2022 versions on evo and got confused. I know the pros are better than the reg ones but I just didn't know the difference between the classic pro and drop kick pro. I was trippin cuz I thought the DK pro were $100 more than the Classic Pro but It all makes sense now. Honestly respect to full tilt for making those boots the basically the same, it offers more variety in colourways, I hope they continue to do that.

Drop Kick Pro and Classic Pro both use the same FTO shell as the older B&E boots. Both are $499 in the USA, both use the Pro Wrap liner. DK Pro has a 90 flex tongue Classic Pro has a 100 flex tongue so pick which ever you prefer the look of or if you want it slightly softer or slightly stiffer.

Let me know if there are any other questions on which boot to pick.
