A glassfiber reinforced plastic shell with integrated lining guarantees the most comfortable fit possible whilst keeping you in direct control.

Since joining USD a few years back, Roman Abrate has always favored the USD VII Skate, so it was the obvious choice for his first Pro model. Roman reworked the VII design, adding his own personal twist on this popular model.

The glass fiber reinforced plastic is now covered with a stylish PU & real leather skin, creating additional support across the skate and adding a unique dark look of the skate. The famous VII soul plate got an update with additional side screws, strengthening the connection between boot & plate for an optimized power transfer.

The skate comes equipped with the premium MYFIT Roman Pro liner, a heat moldable liner packed to the brim with features for 100% comfort. The USD VII Roman Abrate Pro also comes stock with his black Pro KALTIK Stealth frames, a full flat set up of USD Roman Abrate 58mm 88A wheels & fast ABEC 7 bearings from WICKED.

Our premium quality aggressive skate for one of the best park skaters in the world. The new USD VII Roman Abrate Pro is OUT NOW worldwide!

Adapt is known for producing the most high-end inline skates on the market. Despite a few issues with the nubuck leather skin on my Russel Day Stealth skates, I absolutely love them!

I only talk about the points that stand out to me in my review. If you want more general information, I highly recommend the review of Cody Sanders on these skates. If you’re interested in the adaptbrand and their products, you should visit Adaptbrand.com where you can find all the info you’ll need about every product and the brand itself. Ordering products from adapt is only possible through their website. I can nothing but recommend these skates if you can afford them. They are the best skates out there and well worth the money. You won’t be disappointed! - Simon Studer.
