USD Robert Lievanos Pro-Skates
USD Robert Lievanos
When USD gave me the opportunity to design my own skate I was excited like anyone would be. This is my third Pro Skate, and I’m honored to have the experience to design my own skate.
I knew that this project would be a great experience for me because USD listens to the skaters. This skate is a new VII boot only. To begin the process of my design, I began brain storming and writing down some of my ideas. I knew that I wanted to use a similar material to snake skin since I have always liked the way snake skin looks on your feet. My ideas came together and I began to design.
I thought the design should be simple and clean. I didn’t want the skate to be too crazy in design because of the material I used. I decided to go with black and white, which are both my two favorite colors. After all of the designing, USD had some
samples to go over, we made some changes and now the skate is out.I would like to thank USD for all their support in Rollerblading and for their support in myself. To all the Rollers out there, support the supporters.

grycons with an weird skin?
September 20th, 2006 at 1:00 am
SO DAMN SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 20th, 2006 at 1:01 am
They look fuckin dope! good work RL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 20th, 2006 at 1:02 am
Its a new V11 boot, similar to grycon but just improved overall, faster better shaped soulplate, better cuff, better liner, smoother better looking boot (if you decide to take the skin off…)
To be honest it is pretty high end.
September 20th, 2006 at 1:51 am
i’m telling ya its a boxing boot style! eh probably not but it sounds good…

September 20th, 2006 at 2:43 am
they look great, toe area looks very vulnerable though. i wonder how tough the skins are.
September 20th, 2006 at 2:59 am
fade hurricane
September 20th, 2006 at 3:36 am
i would skate them without the skin….if the boot inside looks good
September 20th, 2006 at 5:27 am
Bino, I have those essentially, the white ufs soul plates of one generation ago and black cut out tumor plates, white gc frames with a reign shima liner from the S3s, all on the original team skates. Never really use them I just look at them… (right now actually) Isn’t it a crying ass shame. I actually also have the old Fifty 50 frames and mouting hardware “the juice system that I always pretend that I will remount and skate like it was 1999. If usd new what was good for them they would just put out that skate again the way Latimer and Shima rode them huh.
September 20th, 2006 at 5:57 am
does anyone know why there is a zipper on the skate?
September 20th, 2006 at 8:38 am
“now those i would skate. but mainly cus im faded [...] nicest usd in my opinion since the venoms” -Spad3
lol, speaks for itself. you found your market USD
September 20th, 2006 at 9:08 am
Rough grind groove – sounds good
September 20th, 2006 at 9:20 am
like it, looks great, but reminds me a lot of razor skates. well if Robert designed it and he was the Razor designer it makes sense.
I think the zipper will help to open and close the buckle more easily.
well deserved Robert, he is an icon of our sport.
September 20th, 2006 at 11:00 am
I love you bino!!!!!I agree with you
September 20th, 2006 at 11:55 am
the zipper lets you have trs estilo-type flaps
September 20th, 2006 at 12:12 pm
woowww how to make new skate with old shit, this sk8 is a GRYRUS:some part of the grycon and the liner from the psirus!!!!But maybe it s really nice at sk8 we don t know but i really prefer my own Razors Lievanos2!! this best pro model!!
September 20th, 2006 at 12:29 pm
looks like the grycon (spell)?=S
it just looks like a better model of the grycon
September 20th, 2006 at 1:15 pm
i Think they are not BAD
September 20th, 2006 at 1:31 pm
They look good but soul plates look shit!
September 20th, 2006 at 4:26 pm
The Zip is for easyer access to the buckle and also if you decide to take the skin off.
September 20th, 2006 at 4:53 pm
is it just me.. or is usd out of ideas..
September 20th, 2006 at 9:15 pm
USD isnt out of ideas–they’re trying new shit. Remz went with the xsjado style boot, razors has the new ‘classic’ design in the works.
I thought those liners looked like psirus liners. And the boot looks damn like a grycon. At first, I thought the patent leather was some sort of restraint system so that the boot could be removable…a bit like the TRS team but with an actually walkable boot. IMO the zipper top isn’t a good idea because it will get pwned. I can’t count how many times I’ve pwned my buckles on my razors and my alphas.
September 21st, 2006 at 2:08 am
pretty . . . fricken . . . ugly
usd needs to stick to their 2 piece souls and no skins
September 22nd, 2006 at 12:36 pm
i dont like them at all the skin looks a gimp suit but thats just my opininon
September 22nd, 2006 at 7:42 pm
HOTHOTHOT , if you are rolling in some old dirty skates and want to be new and fresh, buy these badboys and you will have a selfconfidence like brad pitt
September 22nd, 2006 at 10:56 pm
eww
nothing like usd
i like razors so i dono what usd riders like
usd used to b kool when they wer all hard shell
i dont like their soft boots
September 23rd, 2006 at 2:13 am
NICE, just not digging the soul system, it would be the shit with some duals on there, or just cut that wing off, grind it down maybe
September 24th, 2006 at 7:46 pm
ugliest shit ever
so are the realms
weird soul plates
September 27th, 2006 at 12:14 am
Those are sick!! I would skate them in a heartbeat if I only had the money. Congrats RL, they’re stylin
