Nike Snowboard Boots: Off the Slope Is a NopeNike Snowboard Boots: Off the Slope Is a NopeNike Snowboard Boots: Off the Slope Is a NopeI typically love flipping through the glossy pages of Nylon Magazine or scoping out some new trends on their website, but a recent fashion suggestion really had me questioning the intelligence of their writers. At first I was really digging the new line of snowboard boots by Nike. What’s not to like, right? Trendy “Air Walk” style Nike’s making all the kids on the slopes jealous. But whoever thought it would be a good idea to advocate wearing them as actual boots, off the slopes, is an idiot. I hate Uggs just as much as the next fashion conscious girl, but never in a million years would I replace them with a pair of snowboard boots.

Take it from a snowboarding obsessed Buffalonian, you do NOT want to wear snowboard boots out in public. Not only will everyone make fun of you for looking like a tool (especially if you don’t actually snowboard and are wearing them for the sake of fashion) but the boots aren’t exactly graceful to walk in. Snowboard boots force you bend your knees when you walk, so by all means, if you want to imitate the kid next-door with cerebral palsy, then wearing snowboard boots is the way to go.
