You seem in luuuv

Are you going to skate them or mount them?

[HollyBoni]

thanks for the review!

the straps, the tongue part, and the cuff padding really look good. i hope they will be available separately soon. only thing i really don't like is the price. the 1.0 xsjados are very cheap, but this...

Both. At the same time. It's gonna get weird.

Thanks! I spent most of the night tinkering then trying to form the best opinion I could without getting to actually skate them.
Yeah they cost me a good amount. Haven't bought new skates since the CH1s. But I was way too curious about these to wait.

I will never ask to borrow your skates at a park ...you think someones sweaty boot feels bad.

Yeah. Used at $50 would probably be a fair price at that rate.

Nice review. Have seen this on the front page earlier today.

Good to see your happy with them.

Nothing worse than skate buyers remorse........2012 fatty

Thank god that wasn't meatspin.

Best review, and those look damn good. May have to invest...

The review is useless when you haven't used them, why won't people simply wait, try them and write a normal review. Learn something from Johnathan.

Love how the instep tongue thingy is improved around the shin area. That alone would justify a new skate generation by itself...

Skates look great overall. Minus the footwraps. I think they emit half as much of the high design aspirations the skeletons do.

I bet Justin will make another review talking about how they skate. This one was about how they are made and what has been changed compared to the predecessor.

Awesome first impressions.

I've been curious to see how the front toe strap connected to the souls ever since I heard about these so I'm glad you included a close up photo. Also surprised how you can slide the strap forwards and backwards. It's little innovations like this that I appreciate in a new product.

A little disappointed the instep strap thumb screw was replaced with a regular bolt. I guess I can always take it off my old pair. Do they still fit? Or have they narrowed the width?

Otherwise it looks like an incredible product.

Also do you have some Small original Xsjados? Does the S 1.0 cuff fit the XS 2.0 plate?

I have mad respect for your work but I had to stop reading here:

I have NOT skated these yet.

[*ROYALwithCHEESE*]

those skates are not for skating sillybuns

[Alex Coe]

Sweet! I'm kind of excited.

[gRANT]

that was a good read for first impressions, so what, he didn't skate them yet

are the cuffs solid/flat behind the buckle/strap protector piece, not that I want to put these cuffs on carbons, but would they fit?

I fully agree with you on the footwraps. I got the 8.5 and they feel like 10s.
