Retail Buyers Guide: Splitboarding F/W 2025/26 Retail Buyer’s Guide
Brand: Deeluxe
Interviewee: Florian Heim (Marketing Manager) / Christian Brandstaetter (Sales Manager)
Will you be using any previously unseen materials (in outer shell, reinforcement, cushioning, support or grip) or construction methods?
Like many models in the DEELUXE 25-26 range, shell of the X-plorer is made with Rise by Bloom. Rise is a bio-based foam derived from algae harvested from compromised ecosystems. This approach leverages algae’s ability to sequester carbon while helping clean water and restore aquatic habitats.
Any liner story or program you plan to highlight for 25/26?
The Spark Fusion features a specially developed backcountry liner, combining some of the best elements from our high-end CTF liner with an outstanding out-of-the-box fit. With its precisely tailored anatomical design and advanced perforated foam, the liner molds seamlessly to your foot’s contours, maximizing both comfort and performance. The perforated foam also provides an ideal balance of warmth and breathability, helping to regulate temperature during your trek. Additionally, the Heel Harness Pro and exoskeleton offer a superior fit around the ankle, delivering exceptional support. This liner is slightly thinner than our other options to keep your footprint minimal for your next backcountry adventure.
What lacing systems are your main focus in 25/26 and why?
Our Splitboarding boots come in the following lacing set ups:
The Spark Fusion combines our patented Lace Smart System with a BOA® Fit System for micro-adjustable precision fit of the heel and ankle area. The X-plorer combines traditional lacing with a BOA® Fit System for micro-adjustable precision fit of the heel and ankle area. Both boots are equipped with popular DEELUXE Power Strap for extra support at the shin.
Key Products:
SPARK FUSION:
The Spark Fusion features a significantly smaller footprint and a design optimized for skinning, hiking, and riding.

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.

X-plorer:
The best turns are the ones you earn. And when it’s time to break trail, the X-plorer gives you exceptional support for both the way up and the ride down. Combining the best of both worlds, its traditional laces 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. And for superior traction on cold and icy surfaces, the boot sports a Vibram Eastridge sole. Aiming to minimize the boot’s environmental impact, its shell is made with Rise by Bloom – a bio-based foam derived from algae harvested from compromised ecosystems.
