Chaya Merlot - Black + Blade Cover + Skate Bag Ice Skates

Chaya is nothing else than rollerskating division of renown inline skates manufacturer, Powerslide. It was created in collaboration with skaters from all over the world. From the very beginning of the project, it is overseen by Powerslide’s creative director, Kenneth Dedeu – he is not only a very talented designer and photographer, but also amazing skater and yes – rollerskater too (under nickname “Ragnaroll”). He wanted to forge Chaya in to very best rollerskating company out there and rounded up other amazing riders, too. Good examples are Barbara “Barbie” Luciana, the queen of Barcelona’s rollerskating scene (great vert and street skater too) and Kid Block, a talented roller derby player from Tiger Bay Brawlers team in Cardiff. A solid team provided invaluable feedback which helped creating innovative and high quality products.

Furthermore, all of that high end technology Powerslide is known for has found its way in to Chaya rollerskates. Carbon fibre shells, advanced composite materials, Recall foams, heat mouldable boots are just few examples. Street rollerskates are equipped with innovative, asymmetrical brindblock, the toe stopper placement in many models is offset for better power transfer on push, front of the baseplates is slightly curved upwards for better control – these are ideas that Chaya introduced to enhance rollerskating experience. Furthermore, no matter what is your style: dance, cruising, street and vert, roller derby – the brand have something for you in store!
