If the entire mountain is your domain, the Empire awaits you. Loved and revered for its asymmetrical flex construction, this all mountain boot provides a truly unique riding experience. Whether you’re dropping into a banked slalom, dodging rocks in a chute, or ripping through the trees on a pow day, the Empire excels at making turns that are as quick as they are smooth. And thanks to this exceptional performance, the Empire is also the boot of choice for Japanese pipe prodigy Yuto Totsuka, who has landed atop the podium at the X-Games, World Championships, and many other contests across the globe. For a truly custom fit that delivers maximum comfort, the Empire showcases DEELUXE’s Stage 4 liner. A Freeride Tongue enhances durability and enables riders to further customize the boot’s flex. And as a testament to its legendary performance, Japan’s Freerun magazine honored the Empire with a Best Gear Award, naming it the best freeride boot of 2021-2022. Rule everything with the Empire.

This strap provides extra support for your shin to enhance response.
The L2 lacing system not only provides a quick and easy way to secure your boots, it also helps you precisely adjust two separate lacing zones—the foot and the calf. One handle and clasp close the upper part of the boot while another handle and clasp close the lower part. A pull on each handle secures your foot, allowing you to powerfully and precisely transfer energy to your board.
This reinforced panel cradles the back of the boot to maximize durability and enhance response.

You don’t need to fight crime to appreciate DEELUXE’s Sidekick. The Sidekick uses two reinforcing elements—one lateral and one medial—to maximize the transmission of power. This allows you to transition from edge to edge faster and provides a snappier ride, giving you better pop when ollieing. And by offering additional security, it reduces the likelihood of rolling your ankle.

This design pairs a stiffer flex on the outside of the boot with a softer flex on its inside for the perfect blend of power and comfort. It also improves edge-to-edge transitions and control while reducing strain on the knees. The Asym Flex provides a truly unique riding experience.
DEELUXE’s Freeride Tongue is a smooth operator. Especially plush, it maximizes comfort and cushioning while also enhancing durability. At home exploring the entire mountain, it loves to lay down turns that are especially smooth. And for a truly custom ride, the Freeride Tongue sports a three-position pocket that can accommodate an optional Flex Booster. This enables you to personalize the flex of your boot and tailor it to be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. Make your mark all over the mountain with DEELUXE’s Freeride Tongue.
Available as an accessory, the Flex Booster strengthens a boot’s tongue, creating a stiffer flex while offering additional support. It can also prolong the life of a boot by restoring or enhancing its flex. Thanks to a progressive design, it provides greater resistance as it bends, optimizing support and protection—especially from harsh landings. As icing on the cake, the Flex Booster enables you to modify a boot’s flex for specific adventures—be that reinforcing the flex of a jib boot to slay kickers or transforming a freestyle boot into a banked slalom hero. You don’t need gym shorts to appreciate this flex.
Waterproof and breathable, this membrane ensures feet stay warm and dry.
You don’t need a prescription for DEELUXE’s Remedy. Especially versatile, the Remedy sole provides the perfect blend of traction and cushioning. It offers exceptional grip while hiking and when it’s time to send it, the sole’s free-floating heel cushion ensures smooth landings. And thanks to a reduced footprint, it minimizes toe and heel drag. Give your feet the treatment they deserve with DEELUXE’s Remedy sole.
