Artist Statementarrow_drop_downEZ Binding Concept
EZ Binding is a concept designed to enhance the overall snowboarding experience by streamlining the process of fastening one’s boots into a snowboard binding. Inspired by the self-lacing Nike Air Mag shoe worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part II, EZ Binding is a concept designed to strap into a snowboard binding, hands-free. Snowboard binding technology has remained virtually stationary, leaving snowboarders sidelined atop the mountain globally as skier’s whizz past with a chuckle. By manipulating technology from the Flow Fuse, K2 Cinch and other bindings, the EZ Binding self-straps so snowboarders can hit the slopes as soon as they exit the chairlift.
