It’s been a while since you heard news from Xsjado. The rumors of the brand quitting business were in the streets for quite some time but no official statement was made until now.

The Xsjado Farewell is your last chance to grab a piece of skating history as this is our last skate to be released.

We want to thank all the individuals, designers, skaters, photographers and videographers, distributors and dealers who made Xsjado possible, who worked hard and helped us with their talent and expertise, specially during the development of the Xjsado 2.0 model and who kept the brand alive, staying by our side during these past hard years of skating recession. Thank you all for your support.

But look forward with hope because every end is a new beginning.
