The Playlife Imperial 80 Skates in Violet are the latest color Imperial skates from Powerslide. If recognizing the name, it is because Imperial boots were the original urban hard boot from Powerslide. The same great boots, but now under their Playlife brand.
 
Imperial Skates are great for urban skating, whether to commute or to carve things up a bit. The boots are strong, but with many vents to keep feet cool and dry. Traditional 2pt 165mm frame mount spacing has them compatible with a wide variety of frames and wheel setups should you want to change later, but they come with the strong and sturdy Playlife Gamma Frames that are 3D casted. The Playlife brand is known to be a little more price point friendly, and these certainly hold true to that. They come with removable Basic Dual-Fit Liners (not heat moldable) that are very comfy and supportive. 

Playlife 80mm 85A Wheels with ABEC9 Bearings then round things out. Does NOT come with a brake but is compatible with the PS Urban Brake Mount SM
