The performance footwear takes inspiration from the brand's 'OG Lexicon,' which is a highly advanced running shoe silhouette from the 1990s. The Tactile Lexicon ADV can perform on and off the slopes. Comfort and optimal fit are guaranteed by the inclusion of a dual-density, heat-moldable Ultralon liner. The Boost™ midsole, on the other hand, boasts cushioning properties and extended energy return. Security is delivered by the [speed lacing system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hf-boot-collection). The stylish snowboarding boots are also quite aesthetically-pleasing with articulated cuff shell design and a 3D-molded tongue. The colorway, which fuses white, black, forest green, and hits of yellow, is also quite captivating.
