like right boot - blue, left one white - blue?

why is that?

Yes they have an asymetrical color scheme. There are a few different bidings that do this. You can get them in all black. The nose and tail of your board most likely aren't the same. why should your bidings be?

There are single tone bosses too. All Black or All Blue. Also, there is another two tone scheme. One all white with one half black/white.

If you are preventing yourself from purchasing a sick pair of bindings just because of the color... your loss.

I just picked up some Ride Strapper Keepers in green (only color we have) because it's super comfy and it doesn't match anything on my board or outfit. Actually, I did just pick up a semi-green Oakley jacket so I guess that works sort of. I'm also going to get the half blue and white bosses if I can. Talk about mismatch of colors. Who cares though? It's really good gear. Most of my boot will be covered anyway and the clashing blue/white bindings will stick out.

So you're basically forgoing the bosses for a pair of Unions purely because of the color? :laugh::laugh:

Yes, because the ghetto kids have a black cartel in the front with a green cheapo replacement strap and a yellow k2 in the back with a black highback from the last centuries model. All their money goes to lift tickets so they own the colored out pimps that ride once a year for 5 days.

:p

So if you want to be really cool, you need an assymetrical color sheme. :homer:

The 390 Boss mismatched color scheme is hot as hell. I'm going to order the blue/white one's fairly soon. Around my area kids would go out of their way to find friends with the same bindings in a different color so they can swap certain pieces and frankenstein their bindings.

Would be awesome to frankenstein the black/white and black bindings. Would swap the all white one for a black one. Now one set will be half black/white and all black. My other set would be all black and all white. :thumbsup:

BTW: I made a mistake. They are not offered in all blue. At least I didn't see it on their site.

I already told you that they come in all black as well so your issue with mismatched colors is moot.

It's hard to give gear advice to people who will ignore a great binding just because of the color. I'll say it right now that the canting system on the Rome 390 Bosses is superior to the regular 390.

The Targas more of a freeride binding. What is your goal? You're comparing a mid-flex binding to a stiff one. If you want more freestyle orientated, get the 390. If you want more freeride, go Targa. Or just get whatever matches your board and outerwear the best :)

I bought a Black 1985 Yugo because I wanted a black car so the seat belt color would match. They had a 911 with a two tone paint job for like $100 but I passed on it.

You can make any binding any color Krylon you want for $4. Plus it adds that custom/gansta feel to it.
