Shadow has only one mission: to restitute in term of rebound, power and precision all the daily energy stocked by the skiers. For that, we coming into industry with the first assisted performance & suspension skiboots. Shadow is a new era of all-mountain skiboots, reconciling performance and comfort. This skiboot is destinated for those who are fully committed. Without nuance or contrast. Those whom passion follows like a shadow. Everywhere. Assisted Performance, It's means get more out into what you putt in: less energy, more power out, more absorption, more comfortable skiing and better on-now contact feeling. It's a mechanical advantage created by 2 innovations: dual pivot and suspension blade. Dual pivot: 1 leverage point and 2 pivot points putted far away from eachother, to create mechanical advantage, gonna get more you putt in the more you get out. emplify energy in power. engage the full lenth of the boot. Transmitting the power with less effort, it's assisted efficienct. Suspension Blade: excellent connection between upper and lower cuff, to move together. Absorbing energy with no fix points. Really consistent clean flex. Smooth connection. Personnalisation of the flex: 4 different options of stiffness (adjustable performance). Comfort: new one piece padding liner, seamless padding. New asymetrical toe box, more comfort. Excellent first fit. Core Custom 2: high level of thermoformage efficiency. Shadow 120 MV: standard foot. Level expert / confirmed. People looking for efficiency, better performance without same physical abilities. Less effort, more power. ALl type of terrains, all skiing conditions. Gripwalk footbed, walkability +, grip +. Reactive Boost Tongue: best performance.
TECHNOLOGY
ASSISTED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
Shadow is the first skiboot with an assisted performance & suspension system. This system, combined by two innovations: dual pivot and suspension blade, allow you to get more out into you putt in, it's an assisted efficiency. It's about transfer the power with less effort. We obtain 26% of rebound in more, using less human energy and phycical abilities.
DUAL PIVOT
On traditional boots on the market, you have a pivot point and two fix points very concentrated to each other. With the new shadow, you putt those fix points very far away from eachother, so create mechanical advantage, you emplify the energy in power. You will also engage the full length of the boot, instead of concentrated part.
SUSPENSION BLADE
The suspension blade is an external blade, and the upper cuff comes in between. With this new innovation, we have an excellent and smooth connection between upper and lower, to move together. That get you more absorption and suspension but also more power energy into your skiing. The upper elastomere adjust the flex feel upper part of the turn and also the snap and rebound.
ADJUSTABLE PERFORMANCE - FLEX ADJUST
By putting two elastomers on the two pivot points: below the leverage point and in the top of suspension blade, you have 4 different option of stiffness. You can really personnalize and adjust your skiing. If you prefer to be more solid on the bottom, you can put a stiffer elastomere on the dual pivot, and if you prefer softer on the top you go soft, or do the opposite. You can really play with your performance level.
NEW ONE PIECE LINERThis new liner one piece will give you more comfortability. The padding is one piece, no break from the lower ankle up and no break in fit from lowerfoot to upper, it's all one piece. This gives you clean and conisstent fit. The fit anatomy follow the foot.
ASYMETRICAL TOE BOX
We added a new thing on our toe box: the shape doesn't across on the straight line but we created now a curve that create unbelievably comfortable toe box with really no pressure cross the top of the toes.
