Burton’s founder, the late Jake Burton Carpenter, was a huge Boston Celtics fan – a momentous occasion for the snowboarding pioneer was standing on the floor of TD Garden with his wife Donna the night the Celtics defeated the Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals. Crafted from this exact flooring where the Celtics were crowned NBA Champions comes Burton’s latest winter offering: the Burton MINE77 x Celtics Floor Board. Burton was also a huge fan of the number 77, having started the Vermont brand in 1977, prompting a limited release of 77 Burton MINE77 x Celtics Floor Boards to commemorate the team’s 77th season.
Built at Burton’s headquarters in Burlington, Vermont, each board sees the parquet flooring incorporated into the center and sidewalls of the all-terrain Process Snowboards. Take a look at the production process in the gallery below.
