The Nidecker Rift Snowboard Boots are built for riders who like to get creative—whether flowing through the park or carving soul turns across the mountain. A medium-soft flex and articulated two-part shell let you tweak, press, and play with ease, all wrapped in a lightweight, sneaker-inspired design. Dual BOA® lacing, OC-Kush gel dampening, and a heat-mouldable Silver liner keep your feet locked in and comfy from first run to final lap.
Flex
Flex Rating – 4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Fit
1:1 Lasting – This new new last is the keystone of the boot - the best fit in snowboarding today. Nidecker landed on an 8° forward lean - the sweet spot between comfort and performance. 1:1 Lasting means a specific liner, shell and footbed for each full and half size. Women’s, men’s and youth boots seperate lasts for full anatomical accuracy
3D Molded Toe Box – These toebox designs eliminate extra layers and seams around the toe of the boot to create a durable and streamlined design with less bulk and a better FlowFit on your foot, and a better FlowFit in your bindings.
3D Molded Toebox – The 3D Toebox eliminates extra layers and seams around the forefoot, improving water resistance and durablility. The streamlined design also makes it easier to slide your boot in and out of the binding.
Articulating Cuff – An overlapping shell design allows independent upper movement, delivering super smooth flex without pressure points
Liner
3D Liner Support – Awesome foot hold that starts right inside the liner, with 3D molded material and J-bars around the ankle. Minimal movement, maximum control.
Silver Liner – The Silver liner can be heat molded for a custom fit and features a Custom Flex Zone at the toes, 8mm PE foam, and added PU support. A separate cuff connected to the shell ensures easy entry, while Velcro patches on the tongue secure the fit.
Lacing System
Asym 3F – Part of the ASYM3F Technology : FIT - FEEL - FLEX are combined in an asymmetric shape and closure system that delivers optimum support and flex. Lined up along the asymmetrical molded tongue, the Boa® Fit System lace guides are also asymmetrically positioned on the flatter areas of your forefoot for less point-loaded pressure and a more even closure, which increases medial arch support to reduce foot fatigue and cramping. This Nidecker innovation is codeveloped with and approved by Boa®.
Dual BOA
H4 Coiler™ BOA Technology – Effortless and fast, the Coiler quickly takes up lace slack, increasing speed of entry into the boot. Ready for anything, designed to withstand
Footbed
3D Dual Density – Anatomically designed to cradle your foot and constructed from two densities of EVA, with firmer material supporting the heel cup and arch. A fleece-lined footbed with silicone top-print keeps you warm and secure.
OC Kush – Shock-absorbing dynamic gel pads are inserted into the outsole around the heel area. This extra cushioning helps you soak up heavy landings and reduces fatigue from bumpy snow, as well as making your boots super comfy to walk around in.
Sole
Ascent Outsole – The Ascent combines an EVA midsole and rubber outsole for the optimal balance of cushioning, weight and grip. An OC-Kush insert absorbs impacts while its gecko-inspired tread pattern delivers lizard-like traction.
Additional Features
Rubber Backstay – A durable section at the back of the boot that protects it from wear. Our unique Transition Zone means the rubber is bonded smoothly to the outsole with no ridges, eliminating any snags when you enter or exit your bindings.
