Are these things ever going to be released to the public? They've been out for a while now, and I'm not gonna lie I really need some of the white ones.

Is it me or has anyone else noticed that RD and JS both have had a problem slipping off the pegs since wearing the boots.

They already have the perfect photo for the ad. They need to show a close up of Stewart stepping on Reeds seat to get on his bike. The tag lines are endless for that shot.

No idea about a release, but saw this vid a few days ago with RD talking a little bit about them...

I bet they kick ass. If you ever try on the new Lebron's you would be amazed how comfortable those shoes are. If you wear Kobe 5's on a hard suface it feels like you're walking on marshmellows.
Nike has their shit together. I love adidas too , I actually own 4 pair, but the attention to detail in nike's makes them hard to beat.

They MAY be a good boot, but why are they so fucking ugly.

I have no doubt they may be comfortable and well thought out but IMO they're the ugliest boot on the track.

X 3. They look like a set of gum-boots with a Nike tick on them.

Those boots are fugly.

I appreciate that they are putting a little cash into mx with Dungey and Stewart BUT they are a huge company and not really a "core" mx company.

If they have boots for sale ever - I will buy Alpinestars or Gaerne every time for sure. That's just my opinion.

I agree they are not the best looking boot out there, but I would score a pair for sure. Nike's technology is amazing and those boots are not made in the china sweat shops. They are actually made in Italy. If they become available I would just score the black ones. I was sold on how protective they are after Dungey's feet first dive into the face of a jump in San Fran last year!

I think they're getting better looking each time I see them. I know last years boots were very generic and plain, but it seems they are coming around in the looks department, and I'm sure they're very functional.

I'm all about the lightest boots possible, and from what I've seen these are them. If they ever come out my order is in

I thought I read somewhere recently that Fox has the rights to them should Nike decide not to sell them under the swoosh banner. Makes sense as I think they already make the Fox shoe line...

I think they are sweet. If they come out, I'd run 'em.

Chip Jones was a Fox designer for a very long time. Wondering if he took some ideas from his former employer? Fox is coming with a brand new boot this year, we'll see if there is any legal battle.

They shoulda just went to Sidi and copied their design, then added their ugliness to it.
