The USD Shadow Team 60 Skates let you skate hard, then unclip and walk away in fully functional shoes. Inspired by classic Xsjado Skates, they feature a revamped binding system and other modern upgrades, making them perfect for both new and seasoned aggressive skaters.
A snowboard-inspired binding system provides a snug, customizable fit, with 45-degree wrap-around ratchet buckles and toe and shin buckles to securely lock your feet in place. An updated Kizer memory cuff buckle provides precise fit adjustments, while the skate's unique two-piece cuff system provides excellent forward flex and support to handle intense maneuvers. Over-injected aluminum plates within the one-piece soulplate boost support and stability by directly linking the frame to the baseplate for a more cohesive and ride.
The updated Shadow hightop shoe functions as a high-quality liner inside the Shadow shell and a stylish streetwear shoe once removed. A special outsole modeled after the Shadow soul plate delivers a seamless feel, keeping skaters low with excellent control and minimal heel lift when skating. Built with wear-resistant nylon mesh, TPU-reinforced lacing, and a rubber toe cap, these hightop shoes feature a wider fit, and stand up to just about anything you throw at them. An integrated tongue enhances control and performance while skating, and a high-grade velvet interior with dual-density EVA insoles delivers premium all-day comfort.
Rounding out the skates are Kizer Fluid V Team Frames, paired with USD 60mm 88A Wheels in an anti-rocker setup, and Wicked ABEC9 Bearings for a smooth roll with reduced friction.
