Description
These Chaya skates are ideal for beginners interested in roller derby as well as skaters seeking a well-ventilated, low-cut quad skate. They provide an excellent platform without costing a fortune. The great thing is, if you decide that Roller Derby is your sport, you can always upgrade the plate, wheels, and other parts for a more personalized style and higher-quality components.
The boot is designed with a low-slung sneaker profile and covered in Polyurethane Nano Leather, which is both soft to the touch and resistant to wear from Derby rink flooring or other players. The Poron/EVA padding is extremely soft and comfortable, allowing you to skate all day with minimal to no discomfort. To enhance the fit, Chaya has made the boot and liner fully heat-moldable, providing a second-skin fit. Its low-cut design ensures optimal maneuverability.
The Shari 3.0 plate on these Jade skates combines nylon and fiberglass, making it highly resistant to wear, durable, and lightweight. It can be mounted to most Chaya boots using the Dual Center Mounting system, which also allows you to angle the boot to your specific riding style on the plate. The Power toe system offers more power, speed, and control, maintaining slight pre-tension in your muscles for quick reactions and direction changes.
The trucks are made from aluminum and have a 20º angle.
The Octo Propel wheels are wide and grippy with a 92A durometer.
The Chaya Controller toe-stopper provides added control and maneuverability. The semi-soft Jelly Interlock bushings create a fine balance between comfort and control. The Wicked ABEC7 bearings offer effortless roll speed.
