Nike Zoom Kaiju
by Alex Milner, September 16, 2009
Nike latest Snow Boot, the ‘Kaiju’ is both high standing and hi-tech. Kaiju literally translates (from Japanese) as ‘strange beast’ which seems apt given not only the initial appearance, but the Zoom Air and abundance of previous sneaker references (starting with that Mowabb-esque colourway!) More pics of the Kaiju feature in Issue 16 of Sneaker Freaker; feel free to check if the lacelocks are in the wrong position there too!

Retarded. I need these in my life.
These boots look great, Now that Nike has the guy that used to design the boots for Burton they are only getting better.
I’m not a fanboy. I’m a grown ass intelligent man. I like the style because they remind me of ACG’s from back in the day. I’ll cop ‘em because I like Nike products. Mad companies copy Nike’s designs for their boots so why can’t Nike make some. A crap boot is a crap boot and a good boot is a good boot regardless of who’s name is on the label. The days of being “core” are over. Buy what you want. It’s all about the money anyway. Spend it on what works for you…
Why did you show the only one that is ugly?
Oh, and it’s the lining that keeps the foot insulated and dry, not the outsole.
How are the soles too thin and what makes you think that they are not waterproof? You can tell this from pictures? And what’s up with the double post? What a douche.
The sole is not thick enough to provide adequate insulation between the feet and the ground. Also they don’t appear to be water proof which is a another must have on a snow or snowboarding boot. “a wet foot is a cold foot”.
If these are snow boots then their no good for keeping your feet warm
since the sole is so thin. A good, practical snow boot has a thick sole, so as to provide adequate insulation between the foot and the ground. Also they do appear to be water proof, which is also a must for a snow or snowboarding boot-” a wet foot is a cold foot “
Tsabeatz mate, where can I cop these ????
Fallin in love with these, anyone know where I can cop????. Nike really has some great creative designers workin with them, this is what a company needs to survive in the todays modern and every changing competitve society. Keep it up Nike!!!.
Much better than last season’s. Their first run of snowboarding boots were a “JOKE.”
They are snowboarding boots not SB’s hahahaha
Tried them on they are sickie!!! Might cop a pair
No way! I thought they were galoshes! My mind is blown!
I think if Nike just took some of there popular SB silhouettes and turn them into Snowboarding boots they would sell far better than the boots they are putting out right now. Just my opinion…
Niceeee
gross. KAIJU means “monster” not “strange monster”. SB did well but these aren’t up to par with what they did with SBs.
^^^ they are!
SICK
Looks like snowboarding boots.
