The latest USD Carbon has arrived, and it does not disappoint. Retaining its stealth-like timeless look, the USD Carbon 2021 Black Boot Only Skates will be a big hit with many skaters alike.
It's easy to see why it has been one of the most popular aggressive skates of all time:
1. Lightweight carbon fibre shell
2. Hybrid soft boot with deluxe integrated liner
3. V-cut cuff for flexion
4. Superfast, slidey and light soleplates
Let's look at those points more deeply!
The Carbon fibre shell makes the skate lightweight and responsive. Carbon Fibre improves the precision users can achieve, making technical manoeuvres easier to accomplish. Carbon fibre, being light, also reduces muscle fatigue when using the skates for long periods, meaning your legs hurt less on those long summer sessions!
As a natural soft boot hybrid, the skate sits close to your feet. Users will feel their skating more intimately, which yields more control and engagement. As far as we are concerned, this skate truly feels like an extension of your body.
The cuff's design features new flexion points, creating less tension on the inner parts of the lining. These flexion points increase the skates' longevity and allow your foot to be more comfortable and supported in grinding positions than in previous models. This is enhanced by the use of MyFit's SPC foam, which retains its structure for years, meaning your skate will feel supportive for longer than ever before.
The soleplate is unchanged, and that's a good thing. Lightweight, thin and slidey, the soleplate accommodates ease of grinding without restricting movement or fluidity. Essentially this means there is less plastic in the way of your feet without compromising on sole space. If you prefer something more chunky, the latest USD VII sole plates are also compatible!
