Usd Skates Shadow team inline skates

USD Shadow Team the latest evolution in the USD skate family. Inspired by the hugely popular Xsjado skate series, the Shadow features an adjustable ‘step-in’ binding system (akin to those used in snowboarding), ensuring a snug and customizable fit. The innovative 45-degree wrap-around ratchet buckle system secures your foot firmly in place, complemented by an additional toe strap for a comprehensive closing mechanism.

One of the standout features of the USD Shadow Team is its advanced fixation system. An over-injected plate within the bottom of the cuff enhances support and stability, elevating overall performance. This design effectively addresses potential issues between the cuff, boot, and frame connections by directly linking the frame to the cuff. The result is a more cohesive and responsive skate experience. Adding to its superior design is the two-piece cuff system, which provides excellent forward flex while maintaining strong support. This feature makes the skates more forgiving during intense manoeuvres, allowing for a greater range of motion without compromising stability.

The skate is equipped with the all-new Shadow ‘hightop’ shoe. Designed to perform as a high-quality liner when inside the Shadow shell, it also doubles as classy footwear so riders can represent their favourite brand all day long. Additionally, it´s equipped with the USD Shadow outsole, which is molded after the one-piece soul plate. This ensures a seamless fit and virtually eliminates heel lift via its unique heel-lock extension. The integration of these advanced features guarantees optimal performance and comfort, making it the perfect choice for skaters seeking both functionality and adaptability in their gear.

Completing the setup, the USD Shadow Team features the renowned Kizer Fluid V frames, designed for superior grinding capabilities. Paired with fast and durable USD 60mm wheels and high-precision Wicked ABEC 9 bearings, this skate ensures you can tackle any obstacle with speed and ease. The skate also features the new Kizer Memory buckles; set them once, and they’ll never forget.

Technology:

Universal Frame System:
- Mounting standard for aggressive skates. Back in 1999 USD, Kizer, 50/50, and Salomon formed an alliance to create a frame mounting standard called Universal Frame System (UFS) in order to simplify the production and aftermarket sales of frames. Thanks to the new standard, which defined the distance between the front and rear mounting of boots and frames, it was possible to assemble UFS frames to any size of boots.

Blade & Walk:
- Detachable skates for urban transportation. Blade & Walk technology allows skaters to step into inline skates with their own (sport) shoes. Instead of a boot, Blade & Walk skates are made of a skeleton construction, similar to a snowboard binding system. The skater’s foot gets plenty of support from the high cuff, as well as the flap, which covers the front of the leg, while the triple closure system locks the foot well to guarantee perfect power transfer and performance while skating. Perfect for urban commuting.
