Announcing the Union Atlas Step On Bindings
The Union Atlas Step On bindings are coming January 22nd, 2025. Union Binding Company and Burton have announed a partnership to expand the Step On® boot-to-binding connection system to Union Bindings.
The Union Atlas Step On bindings are coming! On January 22nd, 2025, Union will be releasing the Atlas Step On bindings to select retailers. At this time, there are not any reviews out, exept from Union pro, Gigi Rüf. He saidb“The aluminum heelcup and the unique, sleek highback design caught my eye right away. The setup quickly felt familiar as I focused on carving to really test the response and pressure on the equipment. I told my son about my excitement, and now he wants a pair too!”
As snowboarders age or if a snowboarder doesn't want to be slowed down, the hassle to manually buckle in becomes more of a pain in the butt. Luckily, binding innovation continues to help solve this problem. From Nidecker's Supermatics to Burton Step On®'s (along with Clew's, Flow's, and K2 Clicker's), riders now have mulitple choices to quickly step in (or on) and get going. In very exciting news, Union Binding Company and Burton Snowboards have teamed up to announce the release of Union Atlas Step On bindings!
Way before the Union Atlas Step On bindings, all the way back in 2016, Burton debuted the Step On® boot-to-binding connection system. It was a bold move inspired by Burton founder Jake Burton Carpenter, who pushed the company to rethink how snowboarders could connect to their boards. Fast-forward to today, and Step On® has become a go-to choice for riders craving a seamless, no-fuss interface that delivers top-tier performance and effortless convenience.
Union, a standard for quality in bindings, recognized Burton’s Step On® tech as the ultimate mechanical entry system. Union saw a chance to merge their legendary craftsmanship with Burton’s cutting-edge innovation and in 2021, the two giants struck a deal to prototype Union bindings featuring Step On® technology. Fast-forward to 2023, with trips to Burlington and Italy under their belts, Burton and Union locked in a partnership that’s already making waves.
The game plan? Keep things fresh and authentic. While both brands use the Step On® connection as a foundation, Union stayed true to their DNA, crafting the Union Atlas Step On® Binding to their signature high-performance specs. The result is a binding that reflects the best of both worlds.
Looking ahead, Union is gearing up for more. A second drop of the Atlas Step On® Binding is set for fall 2025, bringing fresh colorways to the mix. By 2026, a new Union Step On® model will expand the lineup, covering every rider with full men’s and women’s size options. And the best part? Every Union Step On® binding is fully compatible with existing Step On® boots from Burton, Nitro, and DC.
The future is bright for the progression of snowboard bindings and all levels of riders will be thankful.
