Pirelli Pzero Burton board coming soon

Snowboards don’t come more luxurious than the upcoming Burton board designed by Pirelli Pzero- the plush car tyre designer.  Expected to drop this winter, Burton have teamed up with Pirielli to design a snowboard set of boots and board.  The board particularly has received rave reviews for its glossy black design complete with gold binding.  Each board is custom made for different shoe sizes and is predicted to be the lightest one Burton have ever released.  It’s expected to have a designer price tag but it’ll be worth it for the stares from the other boarders on the slopes.
