Sophisticated Style for Miles

“Elena is a great addition to our team. Nike 6.0 has always been about the youth and capturing the energy and enthusiasm of this culture on and off the snow. Elena can ride it all, but is best known for her explosive halfpipe runs. Despite her age, Elena has the confidence, focus, and talent of a seasoned pro. She is pushing women’s snowboarding to a new level, and has the kind of style that earns her the respect and recognition of snowboarders young and old.”
–Barrett Christy, Snowboard Mentor

High amplitude and high style pipe runs mark Elena Hight’s take on snowboarding. Elena’s aggressive yet refined style and consistent bag of tricks have brought her to contests around the globe— earning her a worldly perspective past her years, and a spot at the forefront of the next generation of women riders, pushing the sport, further, faster and higher.  Nike 6.0 snowboarding is in its youth when it comes to the sport, but this power house isn’t going to shows signs of slowing down.  Just look at how explosive Nike 6.0 snowboarding shoes have been in the industry this past year, everyone has a pair of dunks on their feet.  We are excited to see how Nike 6.0 snowboarding evolves and Nike 6.0 shoes continue to grow.

Welcome to the crew Elena.

Elena joins Nike 6.0 snowboarders Mason Aguirre, Broc Waring, Matt Ladley, Ellery Hollingsworth, Trevor Jacob, Byn Valaika, Ben Watts, and Ross Baker.

Ellery Hollingsworth has been killing the contest scene and representing her Nike 6.0 team in full force. She has been touring the country smoking pipes that her grandfather would be proud of. Only if we had the opportunity to do the same. While our pipe skills might not be as sharp as little ol Ellery here, we are proud to announce we have joined the Nike 6.0 union. TruSnow.com has got some killer new kicks to add to our skate shoe line this season. The Nike 6.0 Air Zoom Oncore Shoe, Nike 6.0 Dunk Low NKE, and Nike 6.0 Air Mogan Premium Shoe.

Nike 6.0 Air Zoom Oncore Shoe (Tweed / Classic Olive)
New for spring, Nike 6.0 Shoes are taking inspirational cues and design influence from Greek mythology and vintage pop art, remixed through a modern action sport perspective. Think ancient designs, bold graphics and tons of detailed patterns, all twisted up and ready to drop in. Ring into spring with the Nike 6.0 Zoom Air Oncore.
Nike 6.0 Dunk Low NKE (White / New Redwood)New for spring, Nike 6.0 is taking inspirational cues and design influence from Greek mythology and vintage pop art, remixed through a modern action sport perspective. Think ancient designs, bold graphics and tons of detailed patterns, all twisted up and ready to drop in. Keep it fresh to death with the Nike Dunk Low’s.
Nike 6.0 Air Mogan Premium Shoe (Black / Ozone)In August 2006 the 6.0 athletes were corralled into the lab at Nike headquarters and they let them go off. The group was broken into teams and paired up with designers to create new colorways. Nike 6.0 culminated the session with a vote-off, narrowing it down to the top shoe. You are looking at the result of that historical first Team Signature session. The pixel-popping prize pair of Nike 6.0 Air Mogan’s features all the tech benefits and style kicked into overdrive, as driven by the Nike 6.0 team riders. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
