2026 DEELUXE ID TEAM Essential Black

Flex Rate: 5/10 Named Best Unisex Snowboard Boot by Whitelines Magazine: Team ID The Team ID provides everything one could desire in a high-performance freestyle boot. With excellent heel hold, it offers a remarkable board feel and maximum edge control. Its soft to medium flex makes it ideal for riders prioritising comfort while requiring top-tier support and responsiveness. To minimise the environmental impact, the boat's shell is partly made of Rise by Bloom - a bio-based foam derived from algae. This method helps to bind carbon, clean water, and restore aquatic habitats. .dlx-features { margin: 32px 0; } .dlx-features__grid{ display:grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr; gap: 20px; } @media (min-width: 600px){ .dlx-features__grid{ grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0,1fr)); } } @media (min-width: 1024px){ .dlx-features__grid{ grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0,1fr)); } } .dlx-feature{ display:flex; height:100%; border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.08); border-radius:18px; background:#fff; overflow:hidden; box-shadow:0 8px 24px rgba(0,0,0,.05); transition:transform .15s ease, box-shadow .15s ease; } @media (hover:hover) and (pointer:fine){ .dlx-feature:hover{ transform: translateY(-3px); box-shadow:0 14px 34px rgba(0,0,0,.10); } } .dlx-feature__inner{ display:flex; flex-direction:column; width:100%; padding:22px 20px 18px; text-align:center; } .dlx-feature__icon{ width:112px; height:112px; margin:0 auto 14px; display:grid; place-items:center; flex-shrink:0; } .dlx-feature__icon img{ max-width:112px; max-height:112px; width:auto; height:auto; display:block; } .dlx-feature h3{ margin:0 0 12px; font-size:16px; font-weight:700; line-height:1.25; letter-spacing:.2px; } .dlx-details{ margin-top: 0; } .dlx-details summary{ list-style:none; cursor:pointer; display:inline-block; margin-top: 12px; padding: 10px 14px; border-radius: 999px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.12); background: rgba(0,0,0,.02); font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600; user-select:none; } .dlx-details summary::-webkit-details-marker{ display:none; } .dlx-text{ margin:0; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6; color:rgba(0,0,0,.72); display:-webkit-box; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; -webkit-line-clamp: 4; overflow:hidden; } .dlx-details[open] .dlx-text{ -webkit-line-clamp: unset; overflow: visible; } .dlx-more-label{ display:inline; } .dlx-less-label{ display:none; } .dlx-details[open] .dlx-more-label{ display:none; } .dlx-details[open] .dlx-less-label{ display:inline; } .dlx-details{ margin-top: auto; padding-top: 14px; } @media (min-width: 1024px){ .dlx-feature h3{ font-size:17px; } .dlx-text{ font-size:14.5px; } } Quantum Designed to truly do it all, the Quantum leverages everything we’ve learned from developing soles over the past few decades. Crafted from minimal materials and armed with a reduced footprint, it creates an especially direct interface with your board while also offering the best all terrain capabilities. To dampen vibrations and boost traction, lugs span the entirety of the sole, increasing in height from the toe to the heel. The low-profile lugs in the toe area maximize boardfeel while the taller lugs in the heel zone provide an especially smooth ride. These lugs also extend to the outside edge of the sole to further enhance traction when traversing and hiking. The Quantum’s free-floating cushion swallows up impacts and reduces the risk of heel bruises. And thanks to its extensive arch support, the sole prevents fatigue to keep you riding from first chair to last.

Foams utilizing Bloom’s algae technology deliver striking performance values, which make them excellent replacements for conventional foams. Algae’s natural thermoplastic qualities allow Rise to meet, and in some cases exceed, performance characteristics of conventional closed-cell flexible foams.
