I have yet to skate them.. i JUST got them right now. but they are so fuckin comfortable and SOOOOOOOO LIGHT. even with the F1 frames they feel light as shit... Easily comparable to the Carbons, for way less $$.. i THINK these retail for like $225-250

ill let everyone know how they blade when i try em.....


NIMH's are still my jams for life... but these will be fun to play in!

THANKS MIKE!

[stew]

those skates look tiny killgore. what size are they?

[KingDirty]

god damn those are fresh...

All they need to do is put like a little bit more soul plate on them and they are perfect.

If rollerblading grows K2 will come back and make fresh jams.

[KILLGORE]

Its the same cuff/soul/frame they've always had.... they are size 7.5

so comfy

[Fantastic Feets]

I've been riding K2s since early 1997, and I have to say that I am pretty disappointed in the way those things look. :(

The souls look like they are 1/4" thick and the double velcro straps...WTF?


But please give us a review because I am in the market for new skates and I'd like to stick with K2 and definitely light skates.

[lim]

:o dope skates

They aren't made for aggressive skating..they are fitness blades. the double velcro is good.. just as supportive as a buckle and when your not grinding ledges and fallin all the time thats fine for fitness.

The souls are the same ones that were on stylepoints, k55 and all the others.. just without the UHMW added.

These in my opinion look better then most skates K2 has done lately especially the DISGUSTING TERRIBLE HUGE BULKY UGLY FUCKING nemesis and shit.

They are very very similar to the old models. and you can very easily drill out the straps and put a buckle.

[Chris Fortune]

crazy, i was wondering what the dillio was with those. nice work adam.

[Fantastic Feets]

I'd stop skating my Schrijns if I could find some size 11 red and grey 250ccs.

I only ever had the yellow and black ones.

But I will probably be buying some Nimhs in the next month or so.

[Rotgut]

Better pics please. I can't see the whole sole/backslide area.

[Metric Fuck-Ton]

They look dope!

[Rotgut]

Sweet. Thank you.

I'm actually tempted to get some of these. Even with all those gay ass colors.

[gatsby]

EDIT: PICTAR DIDNT WORK

those are intense

put some nimh souls on these...

[KILLGORE]

$200 half the carbons... and DEF more comfy.. i've tryed both on.

[Rotgut]

Only problem is that squishy backslide plate. Used to LVOE it back in the day, but I don't think I could give up farves and torques now. But I bet I could soyale my ass off in those.

[KILLGORE]

Its not hard to make your own out of some old 50-50 frames or whatever else u like th material on.

im gonna make some out of 50-50 frame walls like i used to and expect to love it.

[scuba]

blowing my mind right now.. i might have to place an order, remz make me hate skating

[Rotgut]

Film it please. I wanna see how it's done. I'd fucking love rollerblading again if I could ride K2's

[KILLGORE]

i'll try to best. just gotta find time to do it really.. but it'll happen.

[jonathan]

K2 always has a special place in my heart... so does mike :lol:

but really. i grew up on k2 skates. all the way up to the ufs's.

[joeymc]

When I saw those... I thought for a second that K2 was going to release a new line of "Aggressive" skates. But then I realized they always have a new urban set of skates each year. Those look like they would be pretty fun.

Anyone remember when K2 had a bunch of prototypes at Barnburner years ago? One of the skates was going to be a re-release of the King 55's!

Mike Powell is a super rad dude.

[Rotgut]

i'll try to best. just gotta find time to do it really.. but it'll happen.Thanks, boss.

[jay cocain]

give me you"re nimh now

[KILLGORE]

give me you"re nimh now

Hell no.. im gonna ride them still for sure... Just got these to play around in and see how they feel.

[Mudhut Jollyrancher]

What ad are you referring to? Link?

[Mch1c]

wow, i want.

[gen2roller]

Woah damn those are sickly

[Pimp Juice]

They never come in big boat sizes

[KILLGORE]

i jus went for a ride around for a lil... ALOT of forward flex.. and need a backslide plate for sure.

Soul isnt to small, but with the f1 sides bulging out it takes away some.. topsides were scary haha

i'd love to have those UFS fatties tho....without the toecap. all black.. WOW!

[th3gr3ymatt3r]

[al dolega]

edit:


So, I have had these skates for about 8 months, and I really want to turn these UFS.

Some say it would be sacrilege, but I don't care. i want to skate them, and the h-block and frames are no good. i almost can't stand up in them :x

What soul plates would go on them?

[_doesitmatter_]

i bet its so easy to backslide handrails with those soft ass backslides.

i remember fatty's being the only skates i could ever backslide in.

The only thing that sucks about these skates is that the soul isn't replaceable, and they wear fast. So they're basically disposable skates.

[Cheeto]

link to the pic of jochen skating them?

you know nothing about this skate's structure, do you? if you cut and drill these, you are going to immediately regret it and they will not ride good. just go buy some ufs K2s and leave the fattys.

[denial06]

saw these weeks ago on inlinewarehouse. they look dope. nice grab adam.

Apparently K2 hired this guy to design the Varsity skate.
























Just kidding!! K2 would never PAY someone for skate design work.....that's painfully obvious by now.

i havent skated k2's since 2000, but man those look sick.

[George Amos]

I can't remember who, might have been Brandon Smith, but someone had the all black K2 Fatty Pro's with the toe cap removed and the Nemesis cuff's.

Best K2 setup ever. I'd love to see a pic if anyone has it.
