Armed with a vision entirely his own, Kevin Backstrom devours everything in sight–while also oozing style. With the goal of creating the ultimate all terrain boot–and one truly capable of meeting his needs–we worked with Kevin to test out a slew of boots from our collection and identify his favorite features. We then mixed together all of these ingredients–and refined the recipe again and again–to develop his signature boot, the Aeris. For exceptional board feel, the Aeris 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 boot’s Sidekick Pro technology uses a high-frequency welding process to fuse lateral and medial reinforcing elements to the boot’s shell. This provides faster edge-to-edge transitions and better pop when ollieing. The Double Back offers additional protection from binding abrasions and boosts control and precision. The newest generation of the Aeris is equipped with a snow shield that protects the lower part of the boot from snow, ice, and moisture in order to keep your feet dry. Reimagine what’s possible–and transform how you approach the mountain–with the Aeris.
