BURSTEnter to win a pair of the uber stylish new Fubuki Niseko 3.0 for adults, and new this season the kids model, just in time for winter. Fubuki means snowstorm in Japanese, and their Niseko boots are suitably named after the ski town in Hokkaido, Japan, one of the snowiest places in the world. These boots are highly recommended for light snowshoeing, après ice climbing or skiing, and any general purpose winter outdoor lifestyle application.
The Niseko 3.0 is an updated and, in many ways, improved version of its predecessor, Niseko 2.0. This incredibly warm, incredibly durable, and incredibly lightweight snow boot will have you question everything you’ve ever worn, at least in wintertime, before.
The strong EVA outer shell, in combination with the soft wool blend lining, makes this boot difficult to compete with in terms of both comfort and insulation. Design-wise, the boot has been inspired by traditional, northern Japanese fishing/road worker boots. In other words, although worn all year round by some people, this boot has been built for harsh, snowy weather conditions.
The boots were the brainchild of Swedish skier Kalle Norman, who first saw similar footwear on lifties and roadworkers in Hokkaido. He bought a pair for himself, and the demand from people who saw them was so high that he ordered a hundred pairs that sold right away. His budding importation business ended when a flood engulfed the manufacturer in Fukuyama in 2018, but the factory sold the patterns for the boots to Norman, and his partner, Christofer Ljunggren and the Fubuki brand was born.
