Not the biggest fan of these, I liked how older Wallisch and B&E boots had pretty wild designs (like Jordan, Wu, Timberland, Mario etc.) These are pretty boring and kind of soul-less, but I understand the want for similar, mass-producable designs.

They did TW B&E SC dirty by using the white base and same buckle colors with different print liners. I’ve been wanting to see a B&E boot half black and white like SPK KAOS

So I wouldn’t say they did them dirty actually. The thought behind these was more along then like of pro model skateboard where it’s a similar color but different for the athletes. [tag=109505]@bradwalters[/tag] can give more insight but that’s what I know

Very different I would say. Personally the BO118 feels like skiing a 2x4 to me. I hated the ski and tried to love it but never did. This one definitely skied better in a lot of ways it definitely has more kids to it but it’s not a noodle. Is it as good as a WW? Not even close but I have yet to find a ski in all my years in this industry that comes close to that ski.

Damn. I guess I'll have to buy the sender/bo 110 and wait for the BO118 in 194ish. What about the 102? Did you get a go at it?
 
At some point our skis are gonna be so rocketed just gonna look like this:

It’s more they focused on the BOA boot instead of giving them a boot that fits each personality imo… they could of switched the red on the B&E boot to blue and it would of been better and did the same with TW and SC boots all white with a different color. Jus seems they got lazy and wanted to focus on another line. I figured that would happen since K2 took over

So this must be a 24/25 product... I wonder how it will compare to the 17/18, 18/19 CT2.0... That ski was on the softer side, but could hold its own on edge. Any idea on waist width? Looking at @sleepy.grill and @__benjaman__ IG accounts, it looks in the 100-104mm range

It's literally just colors of ski boots.

And I can promise you from working in the industry for awhile now and being a bootfitter they’ll sell fantastic. You gotta realize our (NS) preference on shit makes up maybe .05 percent of all consumers in the world. These boots with simple color ways will sell great!

I feel like boot designs don't matter as much compared to things like top sheets since 90% of your boot is covered by your pants anyway.

Just got a pair of Solomon S Pro 120's and even though I've been a FT/K2 supporter for over 10 years I went with what fit my foot best not which design was the coolest. Even if the Solomon's make me look like a dad, my feet have been pain free and that's all I care about

Ding ding ding you hit it right on the head. People definitely care how their skis look not could give two fucks less about their boots as long as it’s comfy on their feet. Big props to you as well for going with the boot that made your foot happy over what’s “cool” ??

I think 4 buckle boots look the coolest. The all blue solly s pro alpha 130s look so fucking sick

Our rep dropped off all 3 Candide models yesterday, hope you get some time on em this week. Definitely softer more like the original CT skis before they got stiffer that last couple years. Lots of rocker in all of them as well. 121 is flat underfoot and only 1mm camber in the 101/111
 
What are the sizes and the weight?

I loved the old Candide 2s so getting something similar again sounds super exciting!

Next question: they gonna snap like the old ones? lol

Pretty sure they are being made by Zag.

99% sure that ZAG only builds their UBAC skis in house, if they even still do that.. The other skis are made by a bigger factory somewhere else in the EU ;)

There isn't anything good yet, I only got to see a very low quality line drawing of it. What I can say is all the pro model fl3x boots will be in a similar looking line where the bottom shell is white and then the uppers are different colors/patterns.

Also if anyone needs this years SC boot, lemme know, we way over ordered and could cut an NSer a good deal!!

You have any left in a 25.5?
