K2 x Brain Dead Darko Limited Edition Snowboard Boots 2023

DUDE... DONNIE DARKO

REVIEWED BY: Garrett Finn

From the lift line, to the hill, to the apres bar, you're gonna be str8 flexin' in this collab between K2 and Braindead. The Darko is a lightweight, medium-flex boot that's perfect for the freestyle rider who likes a playful feel, or the casual all-mountain rider that wants an approachable boot. Disclaimer: traditional laces on the front of the boot make for a more forgiving, softer flexing fit than what you get with a BOA dial, but a side BOA still allows for a locked-in, precise fit in the ankle and heel, which is the most important part. A chill boot just got even chiller thanks to that limited edition Braindead design. 

Who is Brain Dead? Brain Dead is a creative collective of artists and designers from around the world. With its disruptive, graphic-led approach, the brand takes its cues from post-punk, underground comics, and the spirit of subculture as a whole. Brain Dead is not one person, nor is it one idea. It sits in the space between people.
