In the meantime, our Be-mag ad. press release and quotes from all those that have tested the skate.
Also check out this insane photo Kenneth just showed us to show how much these skates really are like sneakers.
The Deshi Carbon in the photo 44EU/10UK/11US and the Sifika Irukandji is a 43EU/9/UK/10/US

“Rigidity wise, it's a whole new feeling to skating plastic/poly-urethane/carbon composite skates. The Carbon fibre provides a whole different skating experience in that there is much less 'give' and therefore less energy loss on landings...this has GOT to be the way forward in 'high-end skate' technology.
I thought they might not be that comfortable because of the whole liner/carbon fibre thing. I was wrong.
These soul kits are the best. I've always got something to say about skate design but I can't think how they could have made the soul kits any better...as with the skates.
I'm just ******* juiced to be skating again now I have these. They breathed new life into skating for me.”
Jake Eley, Locoskates.com owner / manager.
“My brother said on a be-mag post that that carbons were the closest feeling to normal movement in a skate he ever felt....
I thought that line was pretty powerful because I always felt having detachable liners created a feeling of numbness...I mean that in a sense that I was restricted from actually feeling my grinds and I just couldn't move in them because I had all this excess material making my skate confined to limited movement....Carbons have no liner, their simply built with the perfect median of comfort...this is what allows carbons to be the only skate on the market that can resemble the size of a sneaker...I feel that part of rollerblading’s current unpopularity is due not only from skate boarder resentment but also to it's look.....you can hate me for saying this but I personally dont think a bunch of kids in skinny jeans rolling around with huge looking tank blades on helps us appeal to outside masses...that makes rollerbladers look goofy and awkward to a person that doesn’t know anything about rollerblading....you see, Deshi is on the cutting edge of not only performance but fashion design as well for rollerbladers...the guys at Deshi really care about building a strong core appearance ...we want to help rollerbladers look good with a promise that it will feel good....everyone needs to try these.”
Colin Kelso, Deshi Pro.
“I don’t think I can stop skating carbons.. I’m the happiest I've ever been in my life skating them and I truly hope I’m supported for my decision by The Conference and I will be skating them at ze wintaclash. Knowing how I skate in carbons, I can never go back; there is no way I can go back. I just don’t want anybody to be mad, but I’m going to blame you guys for making too good of a product!
Carbons make me feel unstoppable. And I just want to be able to skate in front of the crowds with confidence and mobility..”
Sean Kelso, The Conference Pro.
“I don't take these skates off between spots. I never want to take them off. I'm skating more often because of them. I can honestly say that I will never skate anything else again. I'm glad I could be a part of it.”
Casey Geraghty, Deshi flow USA.
“Im loving the Carbons and its funny because with in the first day of skating them my homies said they can tell that I like the skate just from watching me skate them”
Vinny Minton, Deshi.
“I have been lucky enough to be involved since day one on this project and as I saw the skates evolve and pass through my hands it just made the frustration of not having my own pair worse and worse. Since getting a pair I have skated more than ever, feel more comfortable than ever, spent a fortune fixing my camera and just a surge of love for skating. I just feel so free on these things they make skating more fun. They are so small and close fitting, I can’t even imagine going back to a plastic skate with a padded liner and shared boot size, the idea just sounds ridiculous to me now!”
Oli Benet, Deshi.
“Ever since the 1st pair I received I thought they were amazing even though they were SIZE to small for me I didn’t want to take them off! They have only got better...all the riders have done a good job finding whatever faults they can with the previous models to make the final version PERFECT. It’s a strong light skate and because there is no liner or outer shell you get so much more control on what you doing.”
Adrian Wallace, Deshi UK.
“-Super light.
-Small, skinny, stylish look at.
-Very minimal design.
-A perfect liner, again very minimal, just enough for comfort.
-very responsive, goes back on the weight and the liners, the skate acts like a well fitted running shoe, where you go it goes, no worrying about slopping around in inches of unneeded lining, and no lugging around pounds of plastic. Very easy to control.
-Again a nice light minimal soul plate. usually I ride USD souls, but these are small and light enough..
-Kind of back to the flex, this skate has little to no heel lift. this is a very good thing. foot stays in place nicely.”
Dustin Werbeski, Deshi flow Canada.
“Those carbons are official I love the skates.....as the skate goes it is amazing, the best skate I have ever skated...”.
Mike Blair, Deshi flow USA.
"The skates are great man, to be honest there probably the best thing I have ever rode, they just feel the closest to my feet of any skate and are 100% solid which makes control and foot placement on point."
Brian Weis, Deshi flow USA.
“Once I put them on my feet it just felt like I had attached a frame and wheels to my sneakers, I can’t believe how manoeuvrable and light they are I feel so free like never before.”
Jefferson Santana, Deshi flow, Spain.
“I always had problems with Deshi but these are absolutely different, and I love it. I switched from Xsjado which has a pretty high cuff and I got used to the carbon super low
cuff so fast. What I like the most is how easy it is to lock all the
tricks! I haven’t had this much fun in a loooong time I am soo tired right
now! I think it's probably the best skate I ever had and I’m sure I don’t want to skate any other thing in the future. I absolutely love the soulplate too its
just perfect. I love how they look, how they feel, how they skate...”
Kenneth Dedeu, The Conference designer.
“I wanna say thanks for the skates… DUDE I LOVEM!”
Fredde Andersson, Deshi Sweden.
“The carbons are unbelievably amazing. Already got a couple clips and photos in them. they are amazing, ?????? and I do not want to take them off. F*****g best skate right now.”
Classified “other brand” pro.
“The Carbon Skate is the best skate ever!
Superlight, feels like a pair of Basketball Shoes with proper skate support.
The skate is great, the flex is great and they are very stylish!
These are the first skates of its kind! No more big floppy moon boots for me! Carbons are where it's at!”
Ramelle Knight, Deshi USA.
“These are the most amazing skates I’ve ever ridden. I don’t even want to put any other skates on after these. I can jump higher and just feel like I have more control. The most revolutionary skate to date.”
