Slipstream Inline Boot
All the performance you loved in the BNT, now with even greater stiffness, precision, and refinement.
The Slipstream is the latest chapter in a 50-year legacy of innovation that began with the Hustler, evolving through the Psycho, Maxi Lunge, Team Bont, Black Widow, Pyrotechnics, ZX5, Z, and BNT. Every generation has brought improvements, and the Slipstream is the culmination of all that experience. This is not just a boot — it’s half a century of racing evolution.
The Slipstream retains everything that made the BNT a world-class boot: an ultra-lightweight build with a carbon shell that can be adjusted locally if required, and performance fit trusted by the world’s best. Constructed from 100% carbon fiber from Japan, it is stiffer, lighter, and more responsive than ever.
Heat Moulding
The carbon shell can be adjusted locally if required.
Important: Do not heat mould this boot in an oven. If heat moulding is required, apply heat carefully and locally to the carbon shell only, keeping all heat away from the exposed aluminium mounting-block area, as improper heating may cause the mounting block to loosen.
New and Enhanced Features:
-New power ridges along the base and up the sides increase rigidity and carbon stiffness for enhanced power transfer
-Upgraded epoxy resin is 40% stiffer than the BNT’s, delivering sharper responsiveness and longer-lasting performance with less deformation (but slightly less moldable)
-All-new last delivers a fit that feels more like a custom boot than any stock model we've ever produced
-Refined custom sanding process for tighter, more precise fitting, especially in custom orders
-Premium outer skin available only in black or white for an elite finish
-Anti-stretch lace cover with a notch to hold your knot and keep lace tension locked in
-New buckle design for better foot lockdown and security
-Silver-thread carbon weave adds a sleek, high-performance visual edge
-Aluminium mounting blocks with gold-colored anodized holes, a new construction method that keeps weight low without compromising performance
-Ventilated tongue with Velcro to hold it in place, offering cooling airflow and padded comfort to prevent lace bite
-Waxed laces with minimal stretch for better tension retention and foot stability
Every detail has been considered, every component re-engineered — the Slipstream is built for serious competitors who demand the best.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Bont Eclipse and Slipstream?
The Eclipse is made on a slightly wider last with slightly softer padding, designed more as an entry-level boot. The Slipstream is intended for professional-level skaters. The Eclipse features a sliding frame mounting system, whereas the Slipstream uses exposed mounting blocks. The Slipstream is less heat moldable than the Eclipse and is a less forgiving boot with harder padding that offers better power transfer. It's built on a narrower last for that tight, custom boot feel. The Slipstream also uses more premium materials throughout.
What is the difference between the Slipstream and Vaypor?
The Slipstream is a pro-level boot built to win world titles. But the Vaypor takes everything even further with a no-expense-spared approach, from custom buckles to specially hand-laid carbon fiber and the most premium outer skin available. The Vaypor has no peer. The Slipstream will outperform any boot on the market, except the Vaypor.
