The Kaon-X is a Nidecker team favorite that’s loaded with tech, offering an ideal blend of playfulness, comfort, and response. Performance begins with fit, so we’ve matched the baseplate and hiback to the shape of our boots using an asymmetric design we call FlowFit™. Together with the AuxTech® straps – which use an exclusive hinged pattern to wrap evenly around your foot –, the system delivers a super snug fit and awesome edge control. When you want to lay down some looser, surf-style turns or get creative in the park, the Kaon-X has all the tweakability you need. It’s a classic two-strap model, with lightweight materials throughout and enough lateral flex to bone tricks out. Bomb-proof aluminum Axion-Ratchets can take the heaviest of knocks and enable lightning-fast entry and exit time after time. We’ve capped it off with a full-length EVA footbed to soak up landings, including 2 degrees of in-built canting for improved ergonomics. A great value platform for progression.
