Second session in the new shadows! I forgot to mention about the frames, if you're not skating transition or doing big jumps, the suspension really doesn't matter. I have the white bushings, the softer version, and I weigh 120. I think the fiziks have more movement in landing from doing regular grinds than these do.

I have more info in the video I'll post later

Wearing the Shadow shoes while running errands today. They feel great. They are stiff in the heels, bit thats to be expected as they aren't actually shoes

Here it is. First skate and review. Im not the greatest skater, so take my review with a grain of salt. Hopefully, my voice doesn't scare y'all off lol first time talking on a video too. How'd I do?

Any other questions, just ask!

Had to do it.

I gotta say, they look amazing.

First notice on putting them on...

The memory buckle, even at its absolute limit (loose) is very snug around my skinny leg. I was not expecting that. I expect they will loosen up once the shoe and padding break in. But as of now, if I wanted them to fit more loose, I can not.

The shoe fits amazing. True to size, for me. The toe box is spacious enough to wiggle toes and I dont have that squeeze on the widest part of my foot.

The soulplate is redesigned on the inside so as not to squeeze the foot in the arch and on the outside of the foot.

The stock fluid 5 is shorter than I expected. Im going to skate them stock the first time around to see how I like them, but I ordered the crs frames in white to slap on these.

These are no taller than my oxygens with the Rollerblade Nomad liners in them. They are notably heavier than my oxygens, for those that claim oxygens are cement blocks.

Ask any questions. I Wil post follow up posts asking for more pictures, not previously posted.

First impressions, very impressive. They fit and feel better than any other version xsjado or shadow I've skated before.
