GAH, uglier then the black ones. as long as they don’t ruin USD I don’t really care much though.
September 6th, 2006 at 7:15 am
oh no it is very uglyyyy
September 6th, 2006 at 7:16 am
it looks a lot like the fila skate did.
September 6th, 2006 at 7:18 am
Really don´t like´em. What´s with the weird perforated cuff-look? Plus this one does even look more like a Fila Smoothy than the black one…
September 6th, 2006 at 8:03 am
when is USD going to come out with a good looking skate… USD fell off..
September 6th, 2006 at 8:06 am
i’m not a fan of the black ones but these look nice. why is the buff so tilted though??
September 6th, 2006 at 8:31 am
They look like they could be fun to skate, but also cheaply made and what’s with the skinned cuff? not a fan.
September 6th, 2006 at 8:33 am
Also, how do you remove the cuff if you want to?! those soulplates could look good on other skates though…
September 6th, 2006 at 9:06 am
hmm .. i think the cuff is more “flexy” now .. cause that`s the only reason [ that came into my -sick :p - mind ] for the cuff being so tilted .
also .. don`t diss USD for not bringing “good looking” skates . Some of the best looking skates are usds … look at feinbergs .. psirus etc.
the skate i think will be a veeery good noob’ skate .. at a very low price .
September 6th, 2006 at 9:35 am
i think these look preety good and wud b good to skate cus they look light
September 6th, 2006 at 9:38 am
HAHAH
REALM
Does anybody remember them
I still have a set of wheels from that company !!!
September 6th, 2006 at 9:40 am
At least USD are making an entry level skate of this quality. They look better than a pair of anarchies and probably skate better too. Don’t know what the liners are like, but I reckon they’d be sick with a decent pair in there.
September 6th, 2006 at 10:09 am
Liners are the old psirus liners, some of the most comfy liners ever made. Please continue to bear in mind that this is a skate by usd for entry level skaters, when you go to your local supermarket or decathlon, this will be an option to buy along side the stupid own brand cheap-skates…and its supporting agressive because it comes from us.
Dont compare this to a throne, even though people testing the skate love it as an expert skate, it will still be at the price of a typical decathlon or superstore cheapyskate, ya get me? but just be better.
September 6th, 2006 at 10:28 am
I like the colour combo…
wait I just like anything that is USD….hahahahaa
September 6th, 2006 at 10:36 am
looks even better then the black ones !!!!
September 6th, 2006 at 11:11 am
woooooooow siiiiiiiiiiiiick :D
September 6th, 2006 at 11:46 am
They finally look like as Fila smoothy , I hope they will be more flex than the Fila et more comfy :S
September 6th, 2006 at 11:48 am
mmmm iono i think the black ones would be better with some white souls. this one i dont even like
September 6th, 2006 at 12:41 pm
I think it is a great idea to create an entry level skate for noobs that makes the sport more accessable to them.
Alot of ppl have been saying that “Rollerblading is dying” then they rip on USD for doing something about it. For shame. lol
September 6th, 2006 at 1:06 pm
shell and soul plates are sexy.
September 6th, 2006 at 1:22 pm
mmmm
Looks ugly…
But is an entry skate….
…so is good for beginners….
…but looks really ugly hahahaha
ah well
September 6th, 2006 at 3:08 pm
I hope its going to be cheap enough to compete with the cheapest of entry level skates (eg california pro, voodoo, anarchy(?), ruption) so that a) the money goes into rollerblading instead of skateboarding/corporate shit and b) the customer is left with a skate with extremely high performance, so that the first thing they experience at the skate park isn’t frustration at the restricted performance of their new skates
great move by usd, although they could’ve looked better for the same cost
+i dont see how these are any cheaper to manufacture than thrones, as these require a softboot cover for the cuff
i do like the look of the soulplates tho, very similar to K2 plates IMO
September 6th, 2006 at 3:16 pm
they look better than the black ones and i spose it would be good for the industry if normal sport shops started stocking these skates as it would bring in more money
September 6th, 2006 at 3:45 pm
this is brill think how maney skates usd has got now its such a wide range of skates, so cool and these are defently a good idea. and i would say they look good not AMAZING but they look cool.
September 6th, 2006 at 3:49 pm
im actually considering these, i think they could be good, and that backslide plate looks so good
September 6th, 2006 at 3:55 pm
THE QUESTION IS:
HOW MUCH ARE THESE STUPID SLATES??????????????????
September 6th, 2006 at 5:18 pm
They’re going to be
September 6th, 2006 at 5:19 pm
BLEEEE!!!
September 6th, 2006 at 5:42 pm
Cheap entry level skate, based from a classic old school boot mold that everyone back in the day loved. If you kids can not wrap your brains around the fact that this is ment to entice younger kids and their parents interested in rollerblading but can not afford $300 + skates on something they may just “give up” then your missing the entire point. Again, I can’t emphasize how absolutly mind numbinly stupid some of these responses are.
“iono teh slates ugly”
learn proper english then maybe someone will take your comment/opinion seriously
September 6th, 2006 at 8:22 pm
the ugly things ever. period haha
September 6th, 2006 at 8:41 pm
stfu all of u who come against this. u talk shit, and say ” *tear* the industry is dying. usd tries to help, u shut them down. bunch of f’ing hyprocrites
September 6th, 2006 at 9:19 pm
Is the upper part of the skate made from leather or fake?
I hope fake.
I don’t think these look as good as the black ones but everyone has their own opinion on this their not bad but…
Could someone please say the proximately prize or do we have to guess?
I think I also missed perhaps(?)but When they come to stores?
Thanks u very much in advance.
Ps.I like usd is offerin also cheap BUT quality skate whitch is not just for the beginners but also pros can like it.
Love the idea.
September 6th, 2006 at 9:20 pm
SORRY FOR THE MISSPELLING.IM NOT ENGLISH or AMERICAN:D
September 6th, 2006 at 10:52 pm
how come these have have usd frames and the black model has kizer?
September 6th, 2006 at 11:19 pm
could be worst…i think they should stick to the old styles tho
September 7th, 2006 at 2:56 am
USD and Kizer are brother companies, these may have USD frames because they may be a bit cheeper than the black skates. I think its an amazing idea, and im sure these skates look great in person and even better on someones feet. Why buy rec skates at $150 when these are sitting right beside them for the same price or cheaper, thats the entire point here, cheap skates to attract noobs.
September 7th, 2006 at 3:19 am
Its an entry level skate kids. So many groms posting who dont know sh*7. This skate won’t pertain to any of us who have experience under our belts. A nice lightweight affordable entry level skate like the ones some of us started off on back in the day. It’s based on the fila design so this skate has already been proven to be a skate that works. USD is trying to help get more kids into rolling since not everyone can throw $300 down a pro level skate only to find out its not his/her thing. A good idea and alternative to other entry or affordable skates that are often sold out in popular sizes.
September 7th, 2006 at 4:22 am
Haha. Wow. So ugly.
The black ones are pretty hot though.
September 7th, 2006 at 5:12 am
Guys, is it really that hard to understand? They don’t look like the Fila skates, THEY ARE THE FILA SKATES! Skate companies frequently buy the molds from other companies that aren’t being used. Some of you may have seen some beginner skates labeled Ultra Wheels, that are actually old Oxygen skates. It happens all the time. Aren’t those Bladerunner RBs old Salomons? I read long ago in an interview that USD wanted to offer many different kinds of skates. It makes could business sense to be able to cover all areas of skating withough having to send them somewhere else to buy “beginner” skates.
The only thing I don’t get is why they are calling them Realms. Those wheels were the best, but to say these come with “realm” wheels is a joke unless Ryan Zlocki is involved. Really they should be called Bob Lewis pro skates, he rode for both Fila and Realm.
ha
September 7th, 2006 at 7:03 am
the skates will be around $150usdollar
September 7th, 2006 at 6:58 pm
it’s not grey it’s GAY
it’s so ugly
September 9th, 2006 at 8:31 am
not sure what to think about them yet. i’d probably do a bunch of true fishes.oh and as far as being an entry level skate i read somewhere that they were intended to be an entry level skate and now they may release them in bigger sizes to.
kids say those skates are ugly now till they come out and you see a bunch of little kids rockin them.
September 13th, 2006 at 3:53 pm
how can you say its ”gay” when you havent skated it? young kids are gonna see these at the supermarket and buy them because they will look better than all the other skates the supermarket sells.
September 13th, 2006 at 7:49 pm
wow! what a waste of money.
September 14th, 2006 at 1:35 am
any 1 rekon that the plates wud go on deshi quite nicely??
October 25th, 2006 at 9:46 pm
okay, all you kids need to shut up
one
cause youve never seen them
two
cause the more options in rollerblading, the better
how many of you all critisize razors for coming out with the same skate in different colorways every few months
three
im getting them in two days and ive been skating for 7 years
all of you little kids probably cant do shit
so until you trty them dont talk shit
they have the sickest souls and a a thin booted skate
trust me they will be hot.
June 8th, 2007 at 10:44 am
Omg they arnt real USD’s if you see them in life they are a cheap copy. !!
