I am going to have to agree with mr. mccumber onthis one. i am sure i could track down my old backyard bob’s to give this skate a run for its money. Sorry guys not a huge fan. I have got my 08 ch1′s sitting in front of me with type m’s. god i want the snow to mel i have not even rolled down the street on em.

As a shoe, the footwrap looks nice, but I agree it doesn’t seem to fit the rest of the skate as well as the old ones. Maybe the boot in the pic is too big? Time will tell though. I’m sure the conference won’t fuck this up for all the xsjado fans out there. Have faith boys and girls…

Thank God
Xsjados are the best and even though DL got ripped off on the sale at least his designs live on as some of the best skates ever designed.

I think they look better than the old ones.
But I still think that xjados look dammn uglu. They may be a good skate, but they are one of the uglyest skates on the market eksept for K2 skates.

Late January for the Farmer 2 boots? Aww. How come? I can’t wait to install my Formula 1 flat frames on the new farmer boots and rip shit up.

the new wrap looks more like a shoe.
I guess we won’t know for sure until new pictures.
although I kind of liked the climbing shoe look.

i advised Powerslide to have the 9 and 9.5 wraps come in the small shell, but i don’t know if it was implemented in time; their factory was replicating salomon’s production so this first run might still have the 9 and 9.5 in the large shell. if so, i’m sure the farmers and other later runs will be “fixed”. any good shop should be able to swap out the wraps for you anyways.

I wonder if these new Xsjados when you buy a size 9 skate if it will come with a small size shell and not the large shell like the old ones… That would be the best if size 9 came in small shell. :)

Yeah I thought Xsjado might be dead as well even though they were bought out by the conference. Psyched to see the company is still alive and kicking. The boots are absolutely amazing.

these skates are shipping from China on the 15th, so they should be in European shops around new year’s and US shops early in january. the farmer boots ship at the end of january and the stockwell skeletons sometime in february i believe.

basic complete- $274

farmer boot (skeleton and footwrap)- $239

stockwell skeleton- $174

the “humps” on the cuff aren’t cosmetic, they’re part of the design, the so-called “bamboo” idea that lets the top of the cuff flex independently.

this picture looks goofy because the cuff padding and straps look to be adjusted down and the instep isn’t cranked down. also the wrap isn’t all the way back in the skate. rest assured that the skeletons will look and skate just like the older xsjados, nothing in the molds or material formulas has been changed.

W.N.H 2 that is for the farmer pro skates . . this is the basic, it probably has a tree on the back

doesn’t look like the heel locks as well as the old wraps. These are probably for style.

sweet..

not sure about how the new foot wrap will look though.

would have been nice if they were to have a black foot wrap to match the rest of the skate. :)
