With regard to the 3 buckles, a number of ski boot companies have introduced 3-buckle front entry boots for the freeride/park crowd. Better flex pattern than a typical 4-buckle boot for that type of skiing. Maybe the same concept translates to moto boots?

What is the big money sponsor Nike going to do for the sport? They will stuff the already full pockets of Stewart with even more cash while siphoning off sales and market share from companies who derive most or all their business from motocross. I would be more impressed if they started sponsoring privateers who actually need the help but they just seem to want to buy there way in at the top.
As far as the boots go I think they look kind of cheesey, especially the red/white/black ones which are obviously styled after the old Air Jordans.
Not real keen on the look but if they offer solid support and are comfortable, well that should be what matters in the big scheme of things.
i really dont understand all the Nike hating and bashing of these boots. You guys are calling them "junk" just from a picture? Do you guys buy your bikes too based on what looks like it "works" and what doesn't in a photo? Dungey has been testing these things for a while. I highly doubt either him or James would risk changing from their respective previous boot sponsors if these new Nike boots weren't up to par.
i for one am stoked that Nike is stepping it up like this and furthering their involvement in the sport.
for everyone asking about price, i hear that for the forseeable future they won't be for sale.
Sounds like they are not planning on selling the boots at all.... only for JS and RD.
Why are paying out the ass for shit that is made for what a third of what it cost?

Nike sponsored athletes mostly have footwear custom made to fit, this includes football, athletics and golf.
Just like some aftermarket parts we can buy - they may look the same but aint
just sayin

I guess the positive with the Nike endorsment is the massive exposure the sport will get through their marketing power. It's got to be better than tricking kids into drinking sugar and caffiene laden garbage water.
We chatted with Nike 6.0’s Sierra Domaille this evening, who phoned when we posted the first shots of James Stewart’s exciting new boots this afternoon. To our surprise, Sierra indicated that currently, Nike has no plans of marketing the boot, but rather, will only be supplying them to their two elite motocross athletes, exclusively. She was also quick to fill us in on a few other important tidbits… * Nike created the Nike AIRMX to support its moto athletes Ryan Dungey and James Stewart, by creating an innovative and high performance motoboot. * Nike worked with Dungey from the beginning to conceptualize and design the boot. * Dungey wanted a lightweight boot with an increased amount of feel to the bike. The Nike AIRMX is the lightest boot in the industry and achieves this through the use of innovative materials which reduce bulk. * Dungey contributed hours of testing from day 1,
