FR UFR Street Antony Pottier 2023 - White CP Inline Skates

Beginning of 2022 brought us a new player in the aggressive market. The French FR Skates brand introduced its very first model for aggressive skating back in March, presenting signature UFR street skate of Antony Pottier. Several times' winner of such international competitions like Winterclash and Blading Cup receives a pro skate based on a slightly modified shell of the popular FR free skate boot. Originally made for a classic 165 mm mount, it was altered to be fully compatible with the UFS system. Available in three different variants, including the best-selling edition with Intuition liners aroused a lot of interest among the scene, offering friendly, ergonomic shell of universal fit and, above all, unmatched good value for money.

Six months after entering the aggressive market, FR Skates presents a refreshed version of a skate designed for street skating — UFR AP 2023. This time available in two, contrasting colour schemes yet providing the same technical features. The 2023 edition of UFR AP skate is not offered with standard FR liner any more, thus eliminating the problem of two different size charts of the same skate model. The current variant comes exclusively with dedicated FR Intuition liner, equipped with the new, anatomically shaped tongue. A precise insole of low volume, providing adequate ankle support and high durability, that Intuition products are known for.

The second main improvement of UFR AP 2023 skate model is reworked soul kit in shell sizes of EU 43,5 and up, more precisely, its modified groove position for royal tricks. The new position and the shape of the groove will be far better match to the larger size of the boot and frames. The angle needed for locking “royale” position will not require as much effort as in its predecessor, especially when using taller frames with bigger wheels.

The lacing system allows tieyng the skates up to the top, thanks to liners with lacing holes in a cuff area. In combination with a solid 45-degree Velcro strap, it secures the ankle properlyy while the heel remains locked in the right place.

The cuffs in UFR AP 2023 skates have a minimal V-cut, providing greater range of a front to back movement. It comes with the additional buckle protection and the option of cutting the cuff 'wings' off (there are pre-made cut marks to make it easier) in case we cannot fasten it properly or need even more forward flex.

Despite its main aggressive purpose, UFR AP 2023 skates and its UFS compatible boot allow the frame to be mounted directly to the shell, thus providing the best possible freeride experience. UFR AP 2023 are universal pair of skates, rooted in proven solutions and excellent workmanship. Giving a lot of configuration possibilities, UFR AP 2023 model will be a good choice for an aggressive skater of any level or versatile equipment for urban skating.
