２００９年モデルなのに、この Luigino Challenge 2009 ブーツを使った Joey Mantia が先日の WC gijon で金３つ銀２つ獲得したという宣伝文句が踊っています。嘘か本当か、聞くところによると Joey Mantia はカスタムでは無くストックブーツを使っての記録だそうです。スペック詳細は良く分かりませんがポテンシャルは高そうです、例の Rollerblade とコラボした来期のRollerblade+Luiginoブーツも気に成るところです。既に海外ネットで販売開始されています。

Luigino Racing introduces the ALL NEW Barefoot Technology (B.F.T.), a revolutionary profile that fits to the NATURAL profile of your foot. This unique shape will give you the ultimate in fit, comfort, stability, and performance, WE GUARANTEE IT!! B.F.T. Features: Anatomically shaped to the foot, pre-formed heel-cup & tendon area, semi flat arch (similar to a custom boot). Benefits: Your foot seamlessly becomes one with your boot, giving you unrivaled comfort and support, while ensuring positive energy transfer, from your skates to the floor or the road. Barefoot Technology is found exclusively in the Luigino Challenge and Victory models, and WILL NOT be found anywhere else, by any other company.
THERMAFIBER Composite Construction by Luigino has set a new standard in the evolution of highperformance speed skating equipment. This ALL NEW patent pending technology allows for a significant weight reduction,
while increasing the shell strength and rigidity by 5x the amount of standard industry shells. This new THERMAFIBER technology is proprietary, and will only be found in the 2009 Luigino boots including the Rollerblade® Race Machine LE (by Luigino).
Challenge continues to be our company flagship. We have packed the ’09 model with more technical benefits than our ’06 & ’07 combined. It has taken more than a year to reach this mark, but the outcome has made it well worth it. Challenge ’09 is not full of fluff and powder puff substances. This piece of equipment is raw performance, loaded from the inside out. Once it’s on the foot, you’ll view it as the most stunning and elegant inline race boot ever. We are so certain of our barefoot technology that we offer a limited warranty, heel to toe for one year on our new Challenge model. This offer is valid through all our distributors and dealers worldwide. Taking it even further, we guarantee the 09 Challenge to fit and perform or your money back.

My New Luigino Challenges - impressions etc
(Apr. 26, 2009)
I've got a number of skaters on the '09 challenge. Here's what I've seen so far:- The straps break at the fixed-end. Order and carry spares.
- They're super low-cut. Don't buy these if your ankles aren't very strong.
- The strap attachment point is weak and vulnerable to impact damage, and if broken is difficult to repair as it's perminantly sewn in under a plastic piece. I've seen two break so far.
- Like all luigino/powerslide lasts, this one is a wide fit and has a tall arch. If you have narrow and/or flat feet, these arent the boots for you.
Other than that, they're basically great boots, and clearly an improvement on the older models.
