The new "Escalade" boot from Liquid Force

Not 100% complete and I’m not sure if they are supposed to be seen yet, but were not going to tell…are we?
Featuring a new NO HARDWARE design, no screws or hardware to hold the boot together, eaves 2lbs weight Featuring new NO HANDED entry, just step up to the boot and slide in!! Tighten the laces with ONE hand whilst holding the kite with the other, even tighten them one handed while riding.

oh, sorry guys, it's for kiting...

Actually, they can be used for both. But they were developed for easy entry and exit with one hand (for kiting). The binding "F.A.S.T. System" fits most their new boots. Easy adjust stance and on & off with no tools - Just twist and pull. I just got the new Sphynx and they ROCK!

I like where they are going with their boots. Very snowboard stylish.

And hyperlite thought the 05 Murrays looked snowboarder-stylish. These look even more so.

Those look just like the bindings that were pictured a few weeks ago but were closed toe and supposed to be the new 06's. Someone took down the pics
