This past month at International Snow Sports Tradeshows, Pirelli Pzero and Burton gave the snowboard industry a sneak peek of their new collaboration for the Winter 2012-2013 season. The focal piece in the collaboration is the 2013 Burton Ion snowboard boot featuring a Pirelli outsole, which will be available worldwide next fall. In addition to the boot, Pirelli worked with Burton on an exclusive snowboard and binding, which will only be available next fall at the Pirelli Corso Venezia store in Milan, Italy.

The star of this joint effort is the 2013 Burton Ion boot. One of Burton’s most legendary boot models, the Ion only gets better in 2013 with the addition of an exclusive new outsole created in collaboration with Pirelli. Taking advantage of the company’s experience in tyre manufacturing, Pirelli has created an exclusive rubber compound for Burton built specifically around the demands of riding that includes a snow tyre-inspired tread designed for superior traction. The top-of-the-line Ion boot also features Burton’s ‘Total Comfort’ technology, so the boot is designed to be super comfortable and high-performing from day one out of the box.

In addition, Pirelli and Burton have created a very limited edition snowboard and binding that will only be sold in the Pirelli Corso Venezia in Milan beginning in the fall of 2012. Both the snowboard and binding feature Pirelli’s distinctive gold and black accents, which were inspired by the daredevil and glamorous world of 1970s motorsports.

Burton has produced a very nice Japan only AK457 Collection for Fall/Winter 2011-2012. Next to down liners and vests, the stand out pieces in the collection are of course the Gore-Tex jackets and the backpacks, all stuffed with technical features. We really like the bright yellow that has been heavily used through out the entire collection and the purple/yellow combination. The line is now available in stores in Japan.

Last month we previewed the Burton x Star Wars Snowboard Collection, featuring some of your favorite characters from the iconic film series. Today we get a further look at the line and come across the R2-D2 helmet. Instant classic and certainly a nice accessory to have on the slope to make some heads turn.

A detailed look at the Burton x Star Wars Collection for Fall/Winter 2011 follows at Radcollector.

We have seen so many collaborate with Star Wars and sometimes it certainly feels like an overload. After adidas, Bape, Moleskine, Medicom and many others, Burton is now also joining the party. One thing is for sure, we feel more comfortable having a Stormtrooper plastered all over our snowboard, than a t-shirt or a sneaker.

They present their Chopper snowboard in a series of iconic Star Wars designs. The board comes in all sizes, and there are overall 8 Star Wars artworks to choose from, featuring the most iconic characters of the movie series. A release date has not been announced yet, but we will keep you posted.

For the second time Carhartt and Burton get together and present their latest collaborative outerwear for Fall/Winter 2011-2012. Once again the technical performance of Burton is merged with utility-driven workwear looks from Carhartt. This season they present a jacket and matching pants, coming in the signature Carhartt duck canvas color, yet featuring a double layer Gore-Tex Performance Oxford shell. The jacket is modeled after the the Carhartt ‘Traditional’ jacket and the pants after the ‘Single Knee’ pants.

Available in either brown or black, the jackets and pants are available from today at Carhartt stores and select retailers.

This week, we’re able to show you a selection of apparel within the adidas Originals collaboration with Burton, designed by Kazuki Kuraishi, who was previously the mastermind behind the adidas Originals by Originals kzk range. The jacket and vest both combine adidas and Burton DNA with Kazuki’s distinctly Japanese aesthetic. Look for a release shortly.

A solid looking new camouflage jacket has released from the Burton AK Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. As with all outerwear from the AK line, this one also features a Gore-Tex outer shell. We like the clean upper construction with not too many pockets.

A both interesting and useful new product is coming from Burton this season – the Mix Master Gloves. Using the Fibretronic technology, Burton integrated buttons into the gloves, that allow you to navigate your iPod and iPhones wirelessly.

Having first worked together in 2008, Burton and Carhartt align once again for a fresh snowboard-meets-workwear jacket. Featuring 2L GORE-TEX construction, the jacket will keep you much drier than your average duck twill. Available in stores on October 1, 2011.

As part of its new Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Collection, Burton offers the Photographer Series of bags and backpacks. Targeted at the active outdoor photographer, the range includes overall 4 different backpacks and one case. Each backpack is targeted at a different user, depending on the amount and type of equipment needed on the slopes.
