not too bad looking
but so many years
in the making?
their shouldve been a new
gc frame designed for them
February 26th, 2008 at 7:16 am
I like them.
Look pretty cool.
February 26th, 2008 at 7:17 am
what a let down….. i hope everyone has learned their lesson.
February 26th, 2008 at 7:21 am
^
Let down?
How is it a let down?
For fucks sake, everyone whinges about Razors not changing their boot mould or style and when they do, people whinge anyway.
I mean come on, there’s only so many ways you can make a skate. What were you expecting? Rockets?
February 26th, 2008 at 7:35 am
WUT?
no rocketboosters? no anti gravity insoles? no adamantium grindplates?
what a let down…WAAA WAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAA, MOMMY! WAAAAASMACK, BITCHSLAP!
NOW STFU.
February 26th, 2008 at 7:42 am
not so fresh I must say, it looks like gen - cult fusion thats all
February 26th, 2008 at 8:09 am
theyre obviously gona bring out dif colours as pro skates, so not worried bout that. i expected a little more, i admit but theyre nice n still got razors style. is it final?
February 26th, 2008 at 8:10 am
gotta love the mature children on this forum. how is it that companies like deshi and usd can take some chances with a new mold, but razors cannot. I think this backwards thinking led shima to producing his own skate. I am not saying that skate companies should re-invent the wheel, they should open themselves up for greater innovation.
and for toe-bee… you are not as tough as you think you are, so spare us the WWF talk.
February 26th, 2008 at 8:16 am
…hm….the cult and gen appeal a lot more to me…gotta say they didn´t actually take the best parts of each model to form this hybrid. But that´s all just about the design. We´ll have to wait and see how they ride!
February 26th, 2008 at 8:36 am
haha, anewera. if the shoe fits, wear it.
and, deshi? they use a mold? usd has a new mold? nimh?!?
get xsjados if you want some great innovation.
February 26th, 2008 at 8:41 am
looks nice.
February 26th, 2008 at 8:42 am
I will def give it a try :)
February 26th, 2008 at 8:47 am
I gotta admit, I expected it to look a bit less…. genesys, but if it’s as solid as a gen, with better souls and is lighter, sounds like a winner. Even more so if you combine it with some F1 frames, v-cut cuffs and liners.
February 26th, 2008 at 9:00 am
i duno, theres something thats just not right about them..?
cant put my finger on it tho…
February 26th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Those are 100% RAZORS, if someone do like razors then should be happy…
Also, is that Horn FL frame? WTF ?
February 26th, 2008 at 9:21 am
white v-cut jugs white v-cut cuffs white frames then im in <3
February 26th, 2008 at 9:23 am
I think they look rad! But I liked the white ones better.
So what’s it called?
February 26th, 2008 at 9:37 am
I really like them, ive never liked one pair of Razors in my 11 years of skating, but this might be my first pair.
February 26th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I think they look good. I reckon in a few models time they’ll nail even more. I can already envision a version of this with a soft top like the old shima 2’s. Do it Razors, you know it makes sense…
February 26th, 2008 at 10:20 am
They would look dope with the remz cuff on there. People will change their minds when you seen customs on Online shops. Their will be some nice setups of this skate.
All black is probably why they don’t look as good as they can be.
February 26th, 2008 at 10:45 am
i think these look well budget seem a lil like usd’s dont they
February 26th, 2008 at 10:56 am
NICE! I always switch between cults and gens. These look like a good balance of both!
February 26th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Hhm, I see the lack of flow in the design, they might be good skates, but not as good looking as expected. Some lines and shapes just don’t do it for me…sorry, not impressed yet.
February 26th, 2008 at 11:07 am
USD grycons anyone?
February 26th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Damn they look like shit. The shell is ugly as hell and the soulplate looks massive !
February 26th, 2008 at 11:13 am
deffo not feeling them because they look rather plain. where as the grey and white mini clip posted a month or so back, they were amazing!! if there due for release ill cop thems.lol
February 26th, 2008 at 11:16 am
If i cut away parts of my shima 6’s and bought the new soulplates do you think id have the new razors? They’d look the same?

i was expecting something bit more ergonomic, it’s as if razors don’t think about the actual shape of the foot at all. these look just as chunky and lose as genesis. i thought they were gonna make something that would actually bennifit your skating.
February 26th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
ok
these dont look really flashy.
but
put some white v cut cuffs on them, , v cut liners
and an all white sould frame,
and you will have a sick skate!
February 26th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
i am telling you every one these skates are stupidly good. i couldnt belive how nice they felt asoon as i started skating them.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I don’t think you could pass judgement without skating them.
Skates like a Genesys but lighter and slimmer?…that does it for me!
I think they ARE more ergonomic hence why they are slimmer. Plus the wrap around soul will improve the rigidity and therefore the speed/responsiveness of the skate.
EVERYONE who has skated them has said they are the best skates they’ve ever had. Can’t wait to find out if it’s true!

cool some new grycon with new plate!!!
February 26th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Crap !
Rollerblading industry is a joke !
February 26th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
fuck all the stupid haters
those skates are black and white fire
February 26th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
i thought they looked great, and theres definately some changes on the skate… looks smaller and smuuder and faster… Yiiiiha
February 26th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
All the people who hated on these in the above posts WILL own a pair.
The problem with all the groms is that they want to roll around in jordans. The new razors are lighter than most hard boot skates out today [except maybe m12’s].
February 26th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
new GRYCON +3
February 26th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
like chris brown says , GIMME THAT !!!
February 26th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Nihm = fake razors. Razors = fake nihm ! What am I supposed to do ?!
February 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
it looks exactly like a usd grycon with little changed parts.
look here:
http://pics.summitonline.com/69272.jpg
even razors need to stop the production of this skate and do something innovativ, or the people won`t buy them any longer…
my opinion
best regards
marco
February 26th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Not a bad skate. Not super flashy deshi super moon boot style, but a more toned down sleeper skate, you cant cater to everyones tastes. As for performance only time will tell, but it seems promising.
Lookin forward to trying a pair
February 26th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
I don’t understand what people want from skates anymore.
Personally I think this is a great redesign. The souls are a good size, the backslide is more solid, it’s lighter, they innovated with the cut out bottom, and it’s slimmer. To me it’s nearly a perfect skate. I’ve been getting tired of seeing skates come out with freestyle frames and huge ping pong paddle souls, how could you possible miss a trick?
It’s been great to see innovation from companies like xsjado , deshi, and remz, but razors have always just been good solid skates, and I don’t look to them for crazy redesigns.
Every time I eat soup I don’t think, “Damn I’m tired, of spoons someones needs to innovate!” Somethings are just done developing.
February 26th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Word up ’some bastard’
I think this skate design has really good intentions, and it looks slick too.
I hate all these comments comparing it to previous skates, its a skate, its going to look like other skates, just like a cow looks like other cows!
If you want a skate that looks like an apple, then hey go produce it and good luck with the whole thing!
February 26th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
hey what is going on with that skate i know that skate that design to make it’s smooth when ride in but do something that can make people like about that skate…”hey razor-brand you guys doing a PRINCE’S pro model..!!! do a perfect model as the skater looks like…It’s always come wit a boring color (black & white) do as a shoes fashion style 4 sure razor market will increase
February 26th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
they skate soo nice!
February 26th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
so guys how does it skate better?
other than that its THE NEW SKATE, what does it improve??
I guess
1. lighter is good cuz you want lighter luggage.
2. slimmer is nice since you want a better look with your pants
but what else???
February 26th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
kymseen
if you’ve watched the making of the aragon 2 on youtube
you’ll know that the way the backslides and the souls line up makes switch-ups smoother and easier
and because your foot is closer to the frame, everything is easier to control. you don’t move your skate, you move your foot if that makes sense.
they are fuckin awesome skates, i’ll no doubt get a pair in the future
February 26th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Fuckin’ joke !
“I don’t understand what people want from skates anymore. ”
We want to be surprised … see something different …
People who speaks about “haters” are just sheep …
February 26th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
…people are so disappointing. Razors is obviously about performance not design. IF you want design check out Rollerblade, Valo, Deshi, or Remz. But if you want solid performamce there’s Xsjado, USD (well they’re somewhere in the middle) and forever now Razors. They’ve always done what they’ve done with performance in mind to make SKATING better. They are core. Looking good will always be a customization thing winning over a stock decision. For the groms who hate the skate or find the LOOK unimpressive nice judging a beautiful book by its cover. Please remember the reasons you are skating in the first place and the new things you want with your skates. You know where to look for designs. I know where to look for performance. For the guys who defended this skate and its company much respect. You have the patience and the experience to say whether a skate is great or not and there’s no need to simply look. I like what I am seeing but I anticipate the ride even more. Really anxious to learn if that new boot mold concept will stand up against all other ideas out of Razors idea box for a while. Laters.
February 26th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
I am gonna buy me a pari when it comes out with custom parts obviously!
February 26th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
hahaha I feel bad for the people that’ve been waiting for this one. Gens look way better IMO
February 26th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
i guess you really have to skate it to know the difference.
I suppose they will have better response like xsjados. maybe
please more colors and customizations, quick!!
oh and the razors logo on the shell needs to go! Its awful.
February 26th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
i dont give a fuck what anybody thinks these are amazing straight up
February 26th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
the new souls and cut out bottom of the boots are really sick. and are definatly innovative.
skating is not s damn fashion show. but i do agree they are somewhat plain looking, and they could have spent a bit more like on the aesthetics. they went for a safe look.
February 26th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
[…] Razors Brian Aragon 2 first photo […]
February 26th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
looks like an anarchy chaos skate wank
February 26th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
they look ok
February 27th, 2008 at 1:07 am
they look a bit unfinished, they’d be way cooler if they took some time to put in details like those on the gen soul inserts. they disappear after the first session but make the product in the box look way better.
other than that i like.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:44 am
dey look kinda heavy
February 27th, 2008 at 3:44 am
The new boot and soul system look tight. I bet they skate amazing.
February 27th, 2008 at 5:06 am
they look like a usd/razors/nimh hybrid
about time we saw some new stuff though
February 27th, 2008 at 8:04 am
it would look better with new cuff model.
February 28th, 2008 at 2:39 am
well the razor cuff has always been amazing so its no point changing it,
the gens i found were abit wide and they have made them more like the cult, the backslide plate has been made bigger so you can go big without having to make a bigger grove, i have always found gens to be amazing for cess slides and they have now made them straight so you can have more control, got the jugs in there and the boot have been made lighter so its easy to get over them big gaps/steps or get on to them hugh rails/ledges…
and they have made it so you can buy just soul plate incerts saves alot of money if you go thru soul plates like me
i’m now skating xsjados again coz the groves on them are amazing and they feel so light coz of the heel lock and toe strap but i am thinking of going back to razors when these babys come out :D
February 28th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Anyone ever realize that the Grycon looks like a Razors flat boot with a crappy thick soul?
February 28th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
This is a SICK skate. I’m getting it the first day it comes out. I wonder if theres gunna be more colors though, cuz if there will be i think i could wait a bit longer to get them.
