November 2010 will see the release of the Gigi Rüf Nike Zoom Kaiju QS. Gigi’s passion for football and his hometown club SC Bregenz in particular has been the starting point of inspiration for this project. Add Nike’s Mercurial Vapor football boot to the mix and you’ll get one of the most technically advanced snowboard boots out in the market
To celebrate the release Nike Snowboarding has joined forces with the X Double store from Innsbruck to create a five-a-side football tournament: The Rüf FC Cup. On November 5 a real football pitch will arise in front of the X Double store allowing the finest of the European snowboard industry to show their football skills and challenge Gigi, Nicolas Müller, Austin Smith and the rest of the Nike Snowboarding crew to a game. Only one team will be able to take the Rüf FC Cup back home and will be crowned champions.
