DEELUXE ID TEAM Boot essential black

Introducing the ID Team, a snowboard boot that needs no introduction. The boot that’s more than just footwear—it’s a legend. Celebrating 20 years of innovation and excellence, the ID Team has become an iconic staple in the snowboarding world. Pretty much every rider knows its name, and there’s a good chance you’ve tried a pair yourself. This anniversary edition stays true to its roots, embodying the classic elements that made it a favorite, while embracing modern enhancements that elevate its performance. For exceptional board feel, the ID Team features our tried and tested Quantum sole. This sole provides an especially direct and responsive ride while also offering strategic cushioning to dampen vibrations and absorb impact energy. The Double Back offers additional protection from binding abrasions and boosts control and precision. 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. This approach leverages algae’s ability to sequester carbon while helping clean water and restore aquatic habitats. Whether you’re reliving the glory days or experiencing it for the first time, the ID Team is the ultimate evolution of a true classic, now better than ever.

Features:
- Quantum: Designed to truly do it all, the Quantum leverages everything we’ve learned from developing soles over the past few decades. Crafted from minimal materials and armed with a reduced footprint, it creates an especially direct interface with your board while also offering the best all terrain capabilities. To dampen vibrations and boost traction, lugs span the entirety of the sole, increasing in height from the toe to the heel. The low-profile lugs in the toe area maximize boardfeel while the taller lugs in the heel zone provide an especially smooth ride. These lugs also extend to the outside edge of the sole to further enhance traction when traversing and hiking. The Quantum’s free-floating cushion swallows up impacts and reduces the risk of heel bruises. And thanks to its extensive arch support, the sole prevents fatigue to keep you riding from first chair to last. 
- Rise by Bloom: Rise is an environmentally-conscious, high-performance replacement for traditional petroleum-based EVAs. Foams utilizing Bloom’s algae technology deliver striking performance values, which make them excellent replacements for conventional foams. Algae’s natural thermoplastic qualities allow Rise to meet, and in some cases exceed, performance characteristics of conventional closed-cell flexible foams. 
- Thermoblock: Like a space blanket for your feet, this reflective insert maximizes warmth. 
- L3 Lacing: Our most advanced and versatile speed lacing system provides three different lacing zones using two clasps and two handles. One handle allows the boot to cradle your foot and calf while the other handle secures the ankle and heel. Thanks to these separate zones, the boot anchors your heel for a refined fit that enhances energy transmission. 
- Powerstrap: This strap provides extra support for your shin to enhance response. 
- Pro Flex: Designed for freestylers who demand premium performance, this construction creates a defined flex zone in the boot’s joint area. This eliminates bulging and maximizes support, creating the perfect blend of flex and stability. 
- Sidekick: You don’t need to fight crime to appreciate DEELUXE’s Sidekick. The Sidekick uses two reinforcing elements—one lateral and one medial—to maximize the transmission of power. This allows you to transition from edge to edge faster and provides a snappier ride, giving you better pop when ollieing. And by offering additional security, it reduces the likelihood of rolling your ankle. 
- Freestyle Tongue: As versatile as it is dependable, DEELUXE’s Freestyle Tongue is the perfect choice for riders who view the entire mountain as their playground. Armed with a classic appearance and medium padding, it offers a precise boot-to-binding interface and effectively transmits power while also enhancing dampening. And to enable you to further tailor your boot’s flex to your riding style, it sports a single-position pocket for an optional Flex Booster. Kickers, side hits, and rails—the Freestyle Tongue can handle it all. 
- Flex Booster: Available as an accessory, the Flex Booster strengthens a boot’s tongue, creating a stiffer flex while offering additional support. It can also prolong the life of a boot by restoring or enhancing its flex. Thanks to a progressive design, it provides greater resistance as it bends, optimizing support and protection—especially from harsh landings. As icing on the cake, the Flex Booster enables you to modify a boot’s flex for specific adventures—be that reinforcing the flex of a jib boot to slay kickers or transforming a freestyle boot into a banked slalom hero. You don’t need gym shorts to appreciate this flex.
- Stage 3 Liner: When it’s time to elevate your game, lace up with DEELUXE’s Stage 3 liner. To maximize comfort and performance, it sports a design inspired by DEELUXE’s legendary Thermo Flex liner, which previously served as the gold standard in snowboarding for thermomoldable boots. Raising the bar even higher, the Stage 3 liner offers an excellent fit straight out of the box and can easily be thermomolded at your local DEELUXE dealer for a truly custom fit. For enhanced comfort, the liner also features a roomier toebox with a four-way-stretch material that can be thermomolded with or without toe caps. And to further boost performance, the liner’s external heel harness cradles your foot to provide exceptional heel hold and quick and secure lacing. Drop in and never look back with DEELUXE’s Stage 3 liner. 
- Double Back: Good things are worth doubling down on—for proof, look no further than DEELUXE’s Double Back. This reinforced rubber highback at the boot’s heel zone enhances durability by offering protection from binding abrasions. It also stiffens the boot to boost response and adheres better to a binding’s highback. By improving the interface between the boot and binding, the Double Back reduces movement between them, offering greater control and precision. Don’t look back—just charge forward with DEELUXE’s Double Back. 
- Backbone: This reinforced panel cradles the back of the boot to maximize durability and enhance response.
