SPLITBOARD BOOTS SPECIFIC
Will you be using any previously unseen materials (in outer shell, reinforcement, cushioning, support or grip) or construction methods?
For 24/25 we’re introcuing an all new backcountry / splitboard-specific boot – the Spark Fusion. The Spark Fusion features a significantly smaller footprint and a design optimized for skinning, hiking, and riding. To ensure it can withstand the harshest conditions, this rugged backcountry boot features our proven Rock Guard that provides protection from rocks and ice. The Spark Fusion is equipped with a snow shield that protects the lower part of the boot from snow, ice, and moisture to keep your feet dry. The boot’s Backcountry liner provides a truly custom fit and sports a flexible toe box that offers a precise yet forgiving feel.

Any liner story or program you plan to highlight for 24/25?
The all new Spark Fusion will feature the backcountry liner. Like the name implies, this liner is espeiclly made for or high-end backcountry boots. Developed for those who earn their turns–or simply demand an exceptionally versatile design–DEELUXE’s Backcountry liner is perfect for hiking, skinning, and riding in any terrain and all conditions. For exceptional comfort and performance, this premium liner delivers an unprecedented out-of-the-box fit thanks to a precisely tailored anatomical design and an advanced perforated foam that cradles the contours of your foot. This perforated foam also aids in regulating temperature to provide the optimal blend of warmth and breathability. And to enhance comfort and ensure your foot can move naturally, the Backcountry liner sports a roomier toe box and a four-way-stretch material that can be thermomolded with or without toe caps. The liner can also be thermomolded with DEELUXE’s Liner Precision Fit Pads to customize its fit even further. For maximum control, the liner’s Heel Harness Pro and its exoskeleton provide an unrivaled fit at the ankle and exceptional support. And thanks to a deep heel pocket and an ankle zone with mesh that’s especially grippy, the Backcountry liner offers unsurpassed heel hold. Whether you’re lapping the resort or exploring far from it, partner up with DEELUXE’s Backcountry Liner.

What lacing systems are your main focus in 24/25 and why? Where does BOA fit in your overall strategy and focus?
Our Adventure / backcountry series consists of 3 models. The Spark Fusion, the Spark XV and the x-Plorer. We tried to cover any preference in lacing systems here, using speed lacing, BOA® Fits System as well as traditional lace. The Spark Fusion uses our L3 lacing system with speed lacing to cradle the foot and calf, and it features the BOA® Fit System to lock down the ankle and heel. The Spark XV is equipped with the L3 lacing system – our most advanced and versatile speed lacing system that provides three different lacing zones using two clasps and two handles. The X-plorer comes with traditional laces that offer a classic ride and clean appearance while the boot’s BOA® Fit System allows you to quickly and effortlessly attain a precise fit in the heel and ankle area. On top – all three boot models feature the DEELUXE signature Power Strap that provides extra support at the shin to enhance response.
