The True Catalyst Nitro Skates use a lightweight, one-piece shell to deliver powerful energy transfer, pro-level stiffness, and the stability players need for explosive strides and confident skating.
New to the Catalyst Nitro is the Polyfusion PWR Core shell, combining a durable outer shell with an internal support structure for a lightweight, responsive feel. This advanced construction increases stiffness without adding unnecessary weight, helping players accelerate faster, maintain stronger edges, and transfer power more efficiently with every stride.
The Catalyst Nitro introduces the SpeedShift holder and steel system, which is 15% lighter than the previous generation. A redesigned quick-release mechanism allows for fast blade changes, while the neutral pitch provides a balanced feel and improved control on the ice. SpeedShift Hyper-Polish DLC steel uses strategic cutouts to reduce blade weight while maintaining strength and durability.
Inside the skate, a premium HydroFoam liner provides a comfortable fit while helping manage moisture throughout the game. A professional laminated tongue with added wear protection delivers comfort and lace bite resistance, while the external tendon guard supports natural movement during powerful strides. A low-profile Carv toe cap maximizes internal volume for an improved fit without adding unnecessary bulk.
Built for players who demand elite responsiveness, lightweight performance, and True's renowned anatomical fit, the Catalyst Nitro Skate delivers the speed, power, and control needed to perform at the highest levels of the game.
