Nidecker Kita snowboard boots

Dual BOA® dial - stiff, efficient

Solid comfort for any mountain

Inspired by the technical demands of polar and mountain expeditions, the "Kita" is packed with features that deliver reliable performance from the first lift to the last. Comfort comes first, starting with the premium Gold Wrap Liner and its asymmetric shape, which fits perfectly with our bindings and ensures a natural connection to the board. Dual BOA® laces, a unique one-piece construction and Armor-Tech toe protection complete this rugged model, capable of tackling any terrain. Like Eric Jackson's boots, the Kita also comes in his signature color - a camouflage pattern taken from one of the burnt trees in his favorite "Pow Line".

Key features

• The Kita has fewer stitched components and a tough TPU shield called Armor-Tech that keeps out moisture and protects your toes when scrambling over rocks.
• The dual BOA® Fit system includes a specially designed external heel lock - controlled by the tongue dial - to hold the foot firmly in place, while the lower part of the boot can be tightened with the side dial.
• Our Transition Zone technology seamlessly connects the Kita's sole to the Exo Spine, speeding up response and protecting the back of the boot from damage when stepping in or out of the bindings.

Closure

Dual BOA® / external heel lock

The lower part of the boot is tightened with the side dial, while the tongue dial controls the upper part and our unique external heel lock.

BOA® Fit system

H4 BOA

Ready for anything, built to last. The blowout-resistant BOA® H4 Coiler is designed for the most demanding snowboarders and withstands impacts from the park to deep powder. Its efficient mechanism quickly takes up lace slack, speeding up foot lock-in.

Heel lock

External heel lock

Our external heel lock works together with the BOA® dial on the tongue, tightening built-in wings on both sides of the ankle to eliminate heel lift.

Sole

Vibram® Approach

Our top-tier sole features a full-length EVA midsole for maximum comfort throughout the foot, and an OC-Kush insert for extra cushioning under the heel. The Vibram ICE-TREK tread is made from a rubber compound designed specifically for cold, snowy surfaces and delivers unmatched grip.

Liner

Gold level

The asymmetric construction of the Gold liner wraps the foot seamlessly, eliminating pressure points and improving flex control. The Custom Flex Zone around the toes provides plenty of room, while 8mm PE foam and extra PU support on the outside add stiffness. Heat-molding technology ensures a perfect fit within minutes.

Liner closure

Frame laces

Pull the internal laces to tighten the straps attached to the frame. The tongue is secured with velcro.

Midsole

3D triple density

Our most advanced 3D midsole is designed to fit your foot perfectly. It's made from three densities of EVA: a firmer material supports the heel cup and arch, with a special high-grip layer at the heel. The wool-lined footbed with a silicone top imprint provides warmth and security.

Boot features

Vibram

Based in Italy with more than 80 years of experience, Vibram is the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality rubber soles.

Boot features

BOA®

The industry standard in quick-lace systems. Micro-adjustable for a precise fit and built to perform in the toughest conditions.

ArmorTech

This durable TPU piece wraps around the front of the boot to protect it from wear and shield the toes when scrambling on foot. It also prevents the boot from over-stretching, extending its lifespan.

Exo-Spine

An external rear frame that supports the whole boot and instantly transfers energy from heel to toe. It connects seamlessly to the sole through our transition zone, so you won't dig into the lacing heel support when locking into the bindings.

Space Blanket

A thermal barrier between the sole and the bottom of the liner keeps heat in and cold out.

3D shaped tongue

Our asymmetric 3D Molded Tongue is angled more toward the medial side to follow the natural ridgeline of the forefoot. This reduces pressure points and gives a more balanced sense of comfort and support compared to a standard straight tongue.

3D shaped toe box

Our 3D toe box eliminates extra layers and seams around the forefoot, improving water resistance and durability. The simplified construction also makes it easier to slide the boot in and out of the bindings.

ASYM 3F

A unique asymmetric boot construction developed together with BOA® that creates optimal support and flex. The asymmetric tongue has lace guides positioned on the flatter areas of the forefoot for more even closure and less point pressure. Increased medial arch support reduces foot fatigue and cramping.

OC-KUSH

Shock-absorbing dynamic gel pads built into the sole around the heel area. This extra cushioning helps soften hard impacts and reduces fatigue from uneven snow. It also makes the boots extremely comfortable to walk in.
