Nicoly Machado - Promo Video for the USD Aeon Eqt 60.

Promo Speech: USD is proud to offer the AEON EQT 60, a high-performance aggressive skate designed specifically for women, but fitting to everyone, all being equal. This Aeon has a signature style and a female-focused design that starts in size 36 EU / 5 US. The groundbreaking unibody of the USD AEON 60 incorporates the boot and frame into a single piece, reducing weight and providing a low center of gravity that gives you unmatched stability and power transfer. The innovative unibody skate also gives you a wide soul plate and a huge central H-block grind area that significantly reduces wheel bite. Skate all day long, land big gaps, and badass grinds in comfort thanks to the MYFIT Skinny Boy liners. The liner includes anatomical ankle padding and well-defined Achilles padding that locks your heel in place and eliminates movement to improve responsiveness. TheMYFIT 2nd Skin liner is also heat-moldable allowing you to customize the fit and optimize your skating style. Rolling on fast and long-lasting 61mm SHR wheels and smooth WICKED ABEC 7 bearings. Stand up proud, stand up equal. Photo

Eugen and Danny Enin always wanted to visit Copenhagen again and thought it might be a good idea to use that opportunity to film his Pro Skate Promo there. 8 days of full street madness later they created a high end super tech piece.

Promo Speech: “Using Shadows is actually like coming full circle for my skating since Xsjado was such a huge part of my Childhood. They were the first skates I started to skate Street in, I did my first handrail in them, I learned all the tech-dance switch-ups that I’m now known for - it all started with Xsjado skates. And now all these years later I can use them from a totally different perspective and do moves I would have never imagined back then. It feels nostalgic and refreshing at the same time to be back on my USD Shadows. This Model features several major updates like the riveted Velcro on the cuff and liner which when combined with the re-released heel shock absorbers creates a perfect fitting foot position and eliminates heel lift. The walkable eclipse liner features the new super comfy PU-cast tongue and a very durable and stretchable ripstop black mesh as the upper material. This new model designed for my pro skate has got a newly shaped ankle flap that connects to the toe strap, creating a tighter and more stable fit. We included some additional flex line stitching to ensure flexibility for that area and my name is printed from top to bottom on it. The top strap is made out of a polyester seat belt webbing which is super durable and has EE.3 embossed on it. I chose the Shadow 1.0 cuff because I prefer its stability. The skate comes with KIZER Fluid V Frames and 60mm 88a USD UHR Wheels. So all in all some major updates to the previous USD Shadow models. For the second edition of my Shadow Pro Skates, I chose a more iconic and traditional Xsjado inspired colorway with some dark greenish and orange details.” - Text by Eugen Enin.

USD Aeon Takeshi Pro 68 Prototype - Only 3 Pairs available worldwide! - Signature aggressive skate for USD legend Takeshi Yasutoko. Aeon boot, black/ red colorway, heat-moldable liner, 68mm wheels.

The USD Aeon Takeshi Yasutoko Pro 68 is the much deserved and very long overdue pro skate to honour one of the greatest park skaters in history and arguably the all time greatest vert athlete across all action sports.

Designed to Takeshi’s exact specifications and specifically engineered for very high speed park skating. The Aeon has a unibody construction that gives skaters the lowest centre of gravity, maximum energy transfer, excellent stability and superb control. Riding flat on 68mm Undercover UHR (ultra high rebound) wheels and Wicked Abec 9 bearings, the USD Aeon Takeshi Pro 68 delivers consistent speed and performance straight from the first roll.

the skates are already available in Asia, US and arrive to Europe start of next week.

I had a problem with my right shoulder and had surgery in February. Rehabilitation was a very very hard and long journey, but I was able to overcome it with the support of my friends and family. I’m also grateful that I came back here again. It was my first Sydney. I’m proud to have done this with Karsten Boysen and Dom West. Great cityscape matches their beautiful camera work. Big Arigato! - Yuto Goto.
