Deeluxe Nomad Boots 25/26 – First Look

Custom-fit comfort meets performance ride.

The 2025/26 Deeluxe Nomad is built for riders who want boots that adapt to their feet, not the other way around. It features a fully customizable BOA® Fit System that lets you micro-adjust on the fly, and an overlap shell design for a snug, consistent fit across foot widths. The liner is 100 % thermo-moldable with a heel harness program to lock you in. Shell materials include Rise by Bloom bio-foam, adding a dose of sustainability to the ride. Whether it’s carving hard groomers or charging powder days, the Nomad is made to feel precise yet comfortable from first chair to last lap.

The Snowboard International First Thoughts are back for another season of in-depth gear reviews, giving you the lowdown on the best snowboard gear for winter 25/26. This time around, the team spent two weeks up in Åre, Sweden, putting the latest kit to the test: five riders, three videographers, and one epic resort.

Correction: The Freeride tongue isn’t the tongue of the liner — it’s the tongue of the boot shell. Also, L3 lacing doesn’t refer to the liner lacing; it actually means the boot has three separate lacing zones.
