Who Is The Nitro Team TLS For?

It’s a fairly stiff flex, so you’re gonna need to be a decent rider to make the most of them, but they’ll deliver the response you’re looking for when you start to really push it. Realistically you ride a bit of everything, but there’s a special place in your heart for high impact freestyle riding.

Shell & Outsole

Nitro use their traction enhancing Vibram Ecostep outsole, made using up to 50% recycled rubber. To save on weight and to allow to boot to flex easier when walking, the midsole is made of EVA Foam, which also acts as a partial cushioning. The real magic though, is in the heel, where Nitro trick the Team TLS out with their Air Dampening System, it absorbs shock and takes some of the slap out of heavy landings.

While the flex is pretty solid, it’s only really useful if it stays that way through the life of the boot. Nitro use an armoured spine to keep the rear of the boot intact and protect against high back abrasion and use a semi-articulated cuff to allow to boot to flex naturally forward, avoiding shell distortion which leads to your boot losing its flex.

TLS stands for Twin Lacing System and is a common thread throughout Nitro boots, it’s their own speed lace system with a dual zone tightening that locks in down the tongue, with special pockets to store the laces.

Liner

The Cloud 9 liner has an independent lacing system to lock it into the shell, putting the onus over the instep to avoid heel lift. It features memory foam pads and a stretchy toe box for instant out the box comfort.

Between the liner and the shell there’s a layer of reflective material that stops heat escaping from the boot to keep your tootsies warm throughout the winter.

“ Using rugged construction and reinforcing targeted areas, Nitro have built a boot that will last and deliver the same control and response season after season

Roundup

Comfort and fit are always the most important things when buying boots, but a close runner up would have to be durability. Using rugged construction and reinforcing targeted areas, Nitro have built a boot that will last and deliver the same control and response season after season.
