Nitro Snowboards entered into a boot licensing partnership for two Step On compatible boot models, hitting shops in the fall of 2022.
“We have developed and sold several mechanical binding systems and compatible boots over the past three decades. While we were always striving for maximum performance and comfort for the rider, we also learned that too many different systems on the market could lead to confusion and unwanted stock for retailers rather than advancing our sport. Therefore, we have decided that Nitro will not develop another platform but rather team up with Step On to provide more choices to the rider and easier handling for the retailer. We believe this is the best way towards getting more people stoked on snowboarding and keeping them riding,” said Thomas Delago, co-founder and President, Nitro Snowboards.
“Burton is so excited to have Nitro join a growing list of Step On compatible brands, positioning Step On to be the preferred mechanical boot/binding interface of the future,” said Chris Cunningham, chief product officer, Burton. “With the addition of Nitro, riders now have even more choices at their feet to find their preferred boot fit, all while benefiting from the confidence and trust that Step On technology provides. By expanding Step On compatibility to brands such as Nitro, we will undoubtedly bring even more riders to the sport we all love so much.”
