A completely original and new dimension of ski boots! World debut
Marcel Hirscher is the absolute champion who has reigned at the pinnacle of the alpine racing world for 15 years and set unprecedented records. Marcel's own production of VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports has been a number of FIS World Cup players such as Henrik Christophersen and Timon Hogan, who have been using VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports skis since its founding in 2022. With victory, they have taken the racing world like a storm.
Naturally, its popularity and popularity in Europe has increased, but in the 2024-25 season, it finally made its first appearance in Japan through Kleb Sports in Yuzawa Town, Niigata Prefecture. It was talked about as a "magical skiing" by Hirscher, but it was announced that new boots will be released for the 25-26 season.
Its name is "PRO BOOT." The Outlook has a colour that follows the image of VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports skis, and a four-buckle type with a power belt, making it look very different from conventional ski boots. do not have.
So, isn't the next thing that comes up with you, "An OEM with a logo on the mold (mold) of a boot from some manufacturer?" The answer is "No of complete negativity." "PRO BOOT" is completely original by VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports. This work was developed entirely from scratch and was completed with a unique design. And of course, this is a product that is confident in its commitment to Marcel Hirscher.
Racing accuracy to all skiers
Marcel Hirscher once said:
"You can be the best skier in the world, but you can never win without the best material. We want you to win. We want you to slide as fast as possible. And then you can race. I hope that the course will challenge your limits and unlock new ground."
This thought for Hirscher is for all skiers, not just for racers looking for victory. Just as he developed a freeride fat skiing himself, he is devoted to his passion and know-how to develop gear with the hope that all skiers who love skiing and snowy mountains will "have the finest skiing experience." .
The same goes for Hirscher's feelings that were put into the newly released "PRO BOOT" in the 2025-26 season. The PRO BOOT is truly designed to allow all skiers to enjoy the amazing performance that the RB02 boots have proven in the world's top alpine scenes. Engineer Giga said:
"Based on the same philosophy as skiing, the difference between racing boots and general use is not just quality or components, but more comfortable fit and more roomy feet."
Features of "PRO BOOT"
The following three main features and highlights are:
① Optimized soles and geometry
By shortening the sole than usual, the dispersion of pressure power is reduced, achieving even better power transmission. For example, the sole of a 25.5cm boot is about 295mm, while the PRO BOOT is 288mm. It may seem like a small number, but it has a big impact on performance.
The last width of the PRO BOOT is 97mm. Boots aimed at racers at a level fighting W-CUP are usually around 92mm in search of a tighter hold. 97mm is a comfortable and spacious design that can be used to accommodate the average foot width of Japanese people.
The perfect balance between the optimum sole length and last width for comfort, and the volume that wraps around the foot was created after analyzing hundreds of thousands of foot shapes. This optimal geometry is one of the best things about this boot.
This provides the ultimate in power transfer and control performance, providing maximum performance and comfort.
② Pre-equipped with lifters
The bottom of the PRO BOOT is pre-equipped with a unique lifter. The higher the boots, the more efficient pressurization on the skis will be, and the more operable it will be. This lifter also plays a role in absorbing shocks.
Also, the bottom of lace boots is usually smooth and difficult to walk in, but these are made of pre-grip material, so you can walk safely and comfortably on all sides. At the same time, it is an excellent design that does not interfere with skiing.
③ Innovative Intuition Liner
This liner is specially made from high-quality thermoformable foam material, and heat-formed with Intuition pads, allowing the liner to fit perfectly onto your feet in minutes, including the tongue.
The liner also comes with an insole for added comfort and support, providing an innovative fit.

BRAND features
VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports is a ski brand founded in 2022 by Marcel Hirscher, who has reigned at the top of the world for 15 years in the W-CUP scene.
"If you don't have the best ingredients, you'll never win," Hirscher said. "I want you to win. I want you to skate as fast as you can. I want you to challenge your limits and break new ground."
With this in mind, Hirscher himself passionately worked on the development, designed specs derived from his winning track record, and after repeated tests on the snow, the ski that was completed was the ``VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports.'' Hirscher affectionately refers to each ski as "DEERS," rather than calling them "skis," which strongly reflects this sentiment. Every DERRS is individually hand-tuned with the same raceroom finish that Hirscher used to reach the top of the podium.
