NIDECKER Boots 2026/2027: Kita, Rift, Rift Pro and Altai
A snowboard boot is the most personal piece of gear you'll own — and Nidecker builds theirs with the understanding that no two riders are the same. For 2026/2027, the lineup includes the Kita, Rift, Rift Pro, and Altai — four boots covering every riding level and preference.
