Razors Iain McLeod Pro Skate
Underestimated, sometimes. Underrated, maybe. Out-skated, never. Iain McLeod has been on a professional level for what seems like forever. 2 pro skates, 3 pro frames, 3 pro wheels… and counting.
Always a leader in both the tech and stunt aspects of blading, his ability to land some of the largest gaps, grind near impossible rails, and progress the ledge game further than few could have dreamed, continues to amaze anyone who’s seen him skate.
When asked how he does it, he simply smiles and says ‘practice.’ Fact is, within the 16 years he’s been on blades, you can probably count the number of days Iain hasn’t skated on both hands. This kid loves blading and his skating deserves -scratch that- demands respect.
It is for these and many other reasons that we are introducing the Iain McLeod Pro Skate.
Featuring the Razors Genesys boot with all the trimmings. This steel blue boot includes replaceable 1-piece soul frames, backslide plates, Genesys liners, Ground Control FLT2 frames, and Signature Iain McLeod Undercover Wheels, all wrapped up with white/blue hockey laces and matching blue, white and black trim.
Features: GC FLT2 frame, Genesys liner with extra thick padding, McLeod Undercover ‘Duck Hunt’ Wheels (56mm/89a), Replaceable 1-piece soul frame, Replaceable backslide plate, Perfectly aligned backslide plate groove, 42 mm anti-rocker wheels, Oversized heel pad, Razors tool, ABEC 7 bearings. Sizes: 6-14, plus size 10.5

if you guys at razors think he deserves so much respect why did you give him a genesys when he skates the SL boot?
August 18th, 2012 at 7:41 am
Nice! estimated price in euros (boot-only) and full set up?
Iain Mcleod is so tech and got mad steez!<3

bout fucking time
too bad nobody skates the genesys model anymore
August 18th, 2012 at 7:55 am
bout fucking time!!!!!
funny though because i thought he hates the genesys boot
August 18th, 2012 at 8:24 am
if you see all his newer Edits (on razors) he is often skating the genesys…
August 18th, 2012 at 8:57 am
the greatest razor made to this date, cults too. my opinion
August 18th, 2012 at 9:28 am
Qu’elle évolution de la part de razors…
August 18th, 2012 at 10:33 am

August 18th, 2012 at 10:34 am
sarcasm……………….

Much respect for IAIN for all his past, present, future rolling, tricks, motivation.
I will buy a pair just to donate him those 2 Dollars he will get after every sold pair of blades.

Those graphics on the back of the cuff and the side are corny. Can boot companies just stop putting cartoon imagery on the fucking skates? Any artist/designer knows to “edit themselves.” This is how I know there are very few great designers in this industry… hard to find decent ones really.
August 18th, 2012 at 12:38 pm
i skate the genesis. apparently razors still sells that boot enough to keep making it.
August 18th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
I find it fuckin’ hilarious that he is wearing a JUG shirt… and those Gens don’t come with Jug Liners…
Still Iain is one of my favorite skaters. And has been dropping hammers forever.
If I were in charge at Razors, we would have brought back out the skinned Gens like Dunkle, for Mcleod pro model. Or skins for Cult, and put Iains name on them.

Razors should stop to produce this kind of skates (genesys boots), cause they are always uglier.
August 18th, 2012 at 1:02 pm
WELL DESERVED! i cant wait for his pro sk8 edit to drop (:
August 18th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
He can wear whatever the fuck he wants hes a god damned BOSS
August 18th, 2012 at 3:06 pm
Yeah… He can wear some ripstyle shoes, and some floppy deshi’s… The point I was making for the ADVERTISEMENT, was that Razors has everyone and their mumma on JUG… Argon, Burston, Dre, Mathias, Sands, Abrate.
Razor liners are fine… SSM liners are fine, and Valo liners are fine…
Montre is sponsored by Jug, so is Itchy, and B-Free.
When you rip as hard as Iain has, and you once had a Deshi pro model, it should be almost mandatory if you still rip to get pro mo out the ass. Iain doesn’t have an edit for this boot (That I am aware or… ) Nor does he need one. He is Iain.
But it would be better for everyone if he did. And had Ripstyle liners… Haha! I don’t think ripstyle liners would be a good thing.
I am having fun with this for the most part. Brian Aragon killed it on them Pigeon skates. Haha!
August 18th, 2012 at 3:26 pm
awesome. they have four blue eye loops!! sold!!
August 18th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
genesys liner 100% or genesys liner with improvements? (like franky morales os4 liner and os4 standard liner)why not jug pro liner?when in grindhouse store?
i have to support this guy, i don’t skate sl and genesys mcleod pro skate is mine!
August 18th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
This reminds me of my old razors set up (obviously without the cuff and logo). Dipshit stole my skates and I can see why after looking at this.
August 18th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Why did they even bother putting buckles on? Iain skates are always looser than a motherfucker hahaha
No but seriously, it´s sick that he finally got a pro-model by Razors, he´s really high-tech and has been holding it down for years now.
August 18th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
Good!!! He deserves a pro skate and “yes”, it ISA about time!
August 18th, 2012 at 8:29 pm
dope that he got a skate! congrats iain!
August 18th, 2012 at 11:15 pm
Are these going to be priced higher than the standard genesys?
Are Razors planning to release a new non-pro genesys anytime soon, like G7.5 or G9.1?
Will Razors ever sell a bootshell only so I can build my own and not have to pay for the genesys liner that I don’t like?
August 19th, 2012 at 12:02 am
They gave my nigga some shitty liners wtf
August 19th, 2012 at 1:41 am
y use that name when ur name is Jeremy Soderburg? =/
August 19th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
deserves a sl!!!!
August 19th, 2012 at 6:37 pm
copping these skates! iain deserves 50 skates by now
August 20th, 2012 at 7:44 am

August 20th, 2012 at 11:29 am
