Valo TV.2 skates: white OR blue
quoting Tim Parker:
Euro exclusive is the Blue Valo TV2 version, I know the white ones have been around for a while but im not sure if people have seen them as white / grey which is how they will be released judging from seeing them on Locoskates.
quoting Locoskates:
Valo TV2 in all their glory.
The Valo TV.2′s are great because they come in a whole bunch cheaper than the other new Valo releases but are no different in quality.
With all the style, quality and features you’ve come to expect from Jon Julios brand these skates are a no brainer.
A slick trainer look, improved comfort liner, low cuff and a flat set-up of 8 Valo wheels with ABEC 5 bearings the Valo TV.2 has proven to be a best seller in it’s previous black colourway.
With the slick new colours for ’09 these too are a sure fire winner. Other fantastic features include extra wide soul plates, chunky backslide plates, memory buckles (so you don’t have to keep remembering how tight you like it), the awesome Valo stock frame and a hard wearing outer skin over a supportive and protective inner shell.

I love what Valo is doing for rollerblading. The site, the team, and the image are awesome. Keep it up.

whoever wrote this shit is an idiot.
these are in fact the only valos that are made in china not italy and the quality is def worse. the buckles that came on the black TV’s are shit.
they are black and white not white and grey.
is this guy serious?

Do you own a pair of TV2s? I don’t think so.
The quality is still great, and the buckles are exactly the same as any other Valo skate.

“The Valo TV.2’s are great because they come in a whole bunch cheaper than the other new Valo releases but are no different in quality. ”
Thats def.not true!
The ones made in italy are better from qualitywise..
I own a bunch of valos,and the skin ripped of after a few days – Italy >china!
I cant believe locoskates still got the fashion tvs from valo!! So sick,get them guys..

M12′s in disguise… But I admit that valos usually look real fresh

Euroshred, regarding what Tim Parker said about them being white/grey I think he meant that the white is slightly off white and therefore could be described as a very light grey (white/grey) in some lights.
Word from the UK Valo distributor is that the Chinese factory did an amazing job when the first (black) TV.2 came out. Chinese labour is cheaper than Italian and it’s not like back in the day when Chinese products were substandard almost by default…they’ve got really good at this stuff now! Razor skates, Deshi, USD, K2, Nimh …they’re all made in China. Locoskates.com

“they come in a whole bunch cheaper than the other new Valo”
Ok nice speach, now tell us how much will they cost?
199€ like the black model? or cheaper?
Tell us please

199€ complet skates like the TV.2 in black…
But as it was tell, all skates are made in china, that’s was why skates could be less expensive as it will be if there made in US, France, Italy or other country where “small hands” wants to have a lot of $ at the end of month…
For those who said that the skin was dead in few sessions… how do you skate? mine are still be great after 3 months skating!!!
I only think that some skates are goods for anyones but not for other, if you don’t like don’t tell that’s shit, just change you skates for an other brand…

August 11th, 2009 at 5:05 am
the difference and why its cheaper is since its built in china instead of italy

- i have not ridden a valo skate ever. but ive ridden some roces m12′s. and since they say valo’s are just like roces with skins i think they’re great! ive always ridden deshi. and i think they’re the best for my type of skating. my point is dont hate on skates that wont work for you or the way you skate. if you dont like the feel of the skate just change brands. if you cant find a brand that would work for you or the way you skate. go to the nearest skateshop and buy a skateboard! or if your so damn rich just make your own company!
