The True Catalyst Nitro Skates - Junior use a lightweight, one-piece shell to deliver exceptional energy transfer, pro-level stiffness, and powerful strides with outstanding stability and control.
Built with a Polyfusion shell, these skates combine a durable outer shell with an internal support structure for a lightweight, responsive feel. This construction increases stiffness without adding unnecessary weight for quicker acceleration, stronger edges, and efficient power transfer.
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 Clarino 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.
For the ultimate fitting experience that can be done without leaving the house, make sure to first Bake Your Skates at Home and then Check for Proper Skate Fit. If you are still unsatisfied with how they fit and feel, simply use the included pre-paid return label.
