Even though you won't be rocking this on the street, Nike didn't let that stop them from tricking out this snowboarding boot.

Taking inspiration from the "Black/Cement" Air Jordan III, the boot is a blend of grey and black, with red accents throughout. The grey elephant-like print on the toe and heel add some interest to the otherwise basic black leather. For comfort and cushion on the slopes, the midsole is made of a combination of Zoom Air and Phylon. The boots have another nod to previous performance footwear from Nike, the Air Jordan V inspired translucent synthetic mesh inlays, which is also seen in red lining the boot. The flex notches around the mesh make for a supportive, comfortable, and pretty stylish fit. The Zoom Kaiju is available from Nike for $350
