Whether hot-lapping the park, sessioning side hits with friends, or exploring spots throughout the city, many riders crave a boot with a softer flex. Yet it shouldn’t come at the expense of performance. Armed with this belief, we created the DNA Pro. With a look and feel inspired by a trusted pair of sneakers, this premium freestyle boot caters to the needs of riders who spend their days jibbing and lapping the park. Still, no need to switch boots for the annual obligatory pow turns: We’ve upgraded the DNA Pro with the Quantum sole – to make the entire mountain your playground. The Quantum sole provides an especially direct and responsive ride while also offering strategic cushioning to dampen vibrations and absorb impact energy. And when it’s time to hike, the sole provides impressive traction. Combining the best of both worlds, its traditional laces offer a classic ride and clean appearance while the boot’s BOA® Fit System allows you to quickly and effortlessly attain a precise fit in the heel and ankle area.With the goal of reducing the boot’s impact on the environment, its shell is made with Rise by Bloom. Rise is a bio-based foam derived from algae harvested from compromised ecosystems. This approach leverages algae’s ability to sequester carbon while helping clean water and restore aquatic habitats. When it’s time to demand more, drop in with DEELUXE’s DNA Pro.

Quantum Sole:
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.
Shell:
Made with Rise by Bloom - Rise is an environmentally-conscious, high-performance replacement for traditional petroleum-based EVAs. 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.
Custom Flex:
Thanks to two separate flex zones at the ankle, this design provides complete control of the boot‘s flex and ensures your heel stays locked in place.
Boa:
Dial in to a fast, effortless, precision fit with the BOA® Fit System, which delivers more explosive action and unparalleled accuracy. Boots with a dual zone BOA® configuration provide zonal adjustability so you can create a truly customized fit, for even longer days on the hill.
Freestyle Tounge:
As versatile as it is dependable, DEELUXE’s Freestyle Tongue is the perfect choice for riders who view the entire mountain as their playground. Armed with a classic appearance and medium padding, it offers a precise boot-to-binding interface and effectively transmits power while also enhancing dampening. And to enable you to further tailor your boot’s flex to your riding style, it sports a single-position pocket for an optional Flex Booster. Kickers, side hits, and rails—the Freestyle Tongue can handle it all.
Powder Strap:
This strap provides extra support for your shin to enhance response.
Flex Booster:
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.
Stage Three:
When it’s time to elevate your game, lace up with DEELUXE’s Stage 3 liner. To maximize comfort and performance, it sports a design inspired by DEELUXE’s legendary Thermo Flex liner, which previously served as the gold standard in snowboarding for thermomoldable boots. Raising the bar even higher, the Stage 3 liner offers an excellent fit straight out of the box and can easily be thermomolded at your local DEELUXE dealer for a truly custom fit. For enhanced comfort, the liner also features a roomier toebox with a four-way-stretch material that can be thermomolded with or without toe caps. And to further boost performance, the liner’s external heel harness cradles your foot to provide exceptional heel hold and quick and secure lacing. Drop in and never look back with DEELUXE’s Stage 3 liner.
Double Back:
Good things are worth doubling down on—for proof, look no further than DEELUXE’s Double Back. This reinforced rubber highback at the boot’s heel zone enhances durability by offering protection from binding abrasions. It also stiffens the boot to boost response and adheres better to a binding’s highback. By improving the interface between the boot and binding, the Double Back reduces movement between them, offering greater control and precision. Don’t look back—just charge forward with DEELUXE’s Double Back.
Back Bone:
This reinforced panel cradles the back of the boot to maximize durability and enhance response.
Lace:
Traditional lacing provides a classic look and feel.
Sizes & Mondo Sizes Explained: Unfortunately, many riders choose boots in the wrong size. They often do this by simply defaulting to their shoe size when selecting boots. Yet the fit and size of boots vary tremendously across brands. Your local snowboard shop will be able to pair you with your correct DEELUXE boot size in seconds with the help of our DEELUXE FOOT MEASUREMENT tool. Additionally, there is also a quick and easy way to find out your correct DEELUXE boot size at home. All you need for it is a ruler or a measuring tape and then follow these steps: Take off your shoes, stand, and place your feet on the ruler/measuring tape. Be sure that your heels are exactly located where the scale unit of the ruler/measuring tape starts. Now use the location of your toes on the ruler to determine your proper Mondo size. The Mondo size exactly matches the total length of your feet in cm. Please note that the volume and length of your feet increases throughout the day. Consequently, if you’re measuring your feet in the morning, we recommend selecting a boot that’s a half-size larger.
