Product details
USD Aeon are innovative aggressive skates. What makes them unique is the unibody concept. The idea is to reduce the number of bolts and screws by fusing the boot, the frame and soul plates into one piece. The USD Aeon skates come with flat setup (four wheels of the same size).
By creating Aeons, USD brand rejected standards used in skates production. It seems that the experiment was a success because Aeon skates are really popular now, both among professionals and people who want to try aggressive skating for the first time. Unibody concept brings several improvements. First of all, the center of gravity is lowered to minimum. Wheels are literally going to the inside of the shell. It is possible when screws of the frame mounting are no longer there. Additionaly, it lowers the weight of the skate, making it one of the most lightweight on the aggressive skates market. Of course the solution has its drawbacks too — you won’t ever be able to change the frame in your Aeon skates. In any case, it does not mean that there are no replaceable parts. You can easily find anything you need, including unibody shell.
No matter which Aeon skates you choose, you can be sure that you are buying good aggressive skates. Every version comes with a very wide soul plate, which makes learning new grinds pure fun. Considering it is a flat setup, there is a surprisingly big groove, too. It allows you to enjoy all the advantages of the flat setup (speed, maneuverability, acceleration, longer lasting wheels) with no fear of getting stuck on any trick. The shock absorber is also worth mentioning. It has tiny flaps on the sides which prevent it from sliding inside the shell.
USD Aeon XIX is designed especially for those who value flexibility of the skate. The cuff is different than in any other Aeon skate. Although it looks the same, it is made of a much softer material, allowing you to flex more while grinding. What’s more, there is a Velcro strap on top instead of a normal buckle to maximize the effect. Velcro is much more resistant to mechanical damage and of course much more flexible. On the other side, it is harder to fasten it as tight as a buckle so it gives less support for your foot. If you prefer tighter fastening, you can always replace the strap with a normal buckle.
Also the boot lacing differs a little in Aeon XIX. On top of the shell you can find a part made of fabric which is not there in any other Aeon versions. Eyelets are located in this part and not in the plastic shell, which makes fastening more flexible. It also changes the look of the skate, making it more similar to a normal shoe.
An enormous advantage of Aeon XIX is the known and popular MyFit 2nd Skin Dual-Size liner. It is fully heat moldable and thanks to only one layer of fabric instead of joining many different materials, it fits just like a second skin. Moreover, you can lace the liner itself to make sure your foot won’t move inside. Additionally, there is a removable heel lock at the back which secures your heel in the correct position.
About manufacturer
Every aggressive inline skating fan should know USD brand. German company Powerslide, one of the biggest inline skates manufacturers in the world, introduced USD back in 1997, under UpSideDown label to begin with. The name was a little nod towards tricks naming convention but primarily reflected the intention of turning the industry upside down – introducing fresh ideas, offering innovative products and wide compatibility with parts without need to use power tools (which was rather uncommon back then).
USD was a great success – the company has hit the ground running, quickly attracting aggressive skating legends like Shane Coburn and Arlo Eisenberg. Other skaters have followed and soon legends like Jon Julio, Josh Petty, Dustin Latimer, Champion Baumstimler and Kevin Gillan have joined the team. It was basically a pantheon of pro-riders back then, unmatched by any other skating brand team before or after.
In 1998 the brand was renamed to Universal Skate Design, further putting pressure on the main goal of USD – providing great products for wide group of skaters. Even though the very first skates made by USD were not that good (USD Damocles), the company has landed their first mega hit with Throne Classic the same year. These legendary skates were in production for over 15 years and even though they are not being made any more, they still have a lot of fans to this day. It was the first boot ever designed with customisation in mind – allowing to easily change frames (even for ones made by other brands like 50/50 and Senate), soulplates and other parts.
Few years later, USD joined an industry wide project to develop UFS – universal frame system, a skate frame mounting standard allowing for simple exchange of frames. It is used in skates to this day and serves as an example of what can be achieved if big industry players are willing to cooperate. Of course, the brand has not stopped innovation and constantly introduced new skates, parts and pushed for growth of the sport. In year 2000 they have released a video with profiles of USD team riders – now legendary COUP de TAT, one of the most important, if not the most important, videos in history of aggressive scene. Another milestone came in year 2010, when another brand by Powerslide – Deshi – was disbanded and USD overtook and polished their best skate, resulting in release of Carbon II, undoubtedly the most popular carbon-based aggressive skate ever. The design of this boot has proven so good that other companies have started to copy it. Five years later and USD drops another megaton bomb – the Aeon skates, first ever to feature unibody construction, where shell, soulplates and frame are single moulded piece. This resulted in a super light and responsive hardboot, unlike any other released before.
There’s no denying that aggressive inline skating is not as popular as in 90s, but there are still several core brands on the market, offering solid products. However, while others focus on two or three skate models and target medium or upper price bracket, USD tries to offer variety both in terms of price and products. If you need solid, complete skates to start on, USD delivers. If you are after high end, lightweight boot made out of carbon, they have those too. Something innovative, different maybe? USD won’t let you down. This variety is something other companies simply do not match.
