Product details

Product Description

The USD Xsjado Dustin Latimer aggressive skate is the final model in the Legends series, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Universal Skate Design brand. Structurally corresponding to the first Xsjado edition of 2004, and in colour paying homage to Dustin's favourite model, the USD Classic Throne. The USD Xsjado Dustin Latimer is thus a refresh of the classic designs that have inspired generations of skaters, as well as an original idea of aggressive skates based on an open skeleton together with dedicated footwrap. The set includes one pair of complete skates and footwraps, replacing the traditional liners.

USD Latimer Xsjado skates - for whom?

  • The organic construction, favouring anatomical ankle positioning and range of movement, is definitely a nod to die-hard fans of the Xsjado brand, i.e. skaters who prefer cuffs without toggle bolts, allowing the ankle more freedom to move in any direction while providing optimum support. Xsjado cuffs are quite flexible at the top, but firmer and more rooted towards the base.
  • Noticeably larger soulplate surface area - if you've ever complained about the size of your soulplates, the USD Latimer Xsjado inline skates will certainly solve this problem. The impressive surface area of the positive side, as well as the negative side, will enable longer grinds on any type of obstacle. The basis of the skate is a combination of a rigid baseplate and interchangeable soulplates, available in a variety of colours.
  • Acting as a liner, the so-called footwraps can be used as standard footwear. This eliminates the need to carry an extra pair of shoes with you. So if you frequently change places to skate or don't like to take off your inline skate to drive, this could prove to be the ideal solution!

Freedom and flexibility

The USD Latimer Xsjado will offer a completely new experience than standard aggressive inline skates. The noticeably reduced weight makes it easier to perform tricks and the comfort of the user, thanks to the specific footwear and the open skeleton, frees your feet from any pressure points.

The return of freestyle frames

USD Latimer Xsjado are offered complete with Kizer Type X frames. Kizer Type X frames are a specialised solution for aggressive inline skating commonly referred to as a freestyle setup, allowing you to ride with just two wheels. Lightweight but incredibly durable, this frame with maximum grind area will be an apt choice for all lovers of performing tricks not only on curbes or rails. Complete with USD 58 mm wheels, 90 a hardness with a flat profile and Wicked ABEC 9 bearings.

USD Latimer Xsjado inline skates – worth to know!

Like the original Xsjado models, the USD Latimer Xsjado inline skates are essentially two shell size ranges and their corresponding components:

  • Size 1: M = EU 38-42, S frame with 233 mm base length, S sized cuffs
  • Size 2: L = EU 43-47, L frame with base length 255 mm, L sized cuffs

The total weight of the skate in Size 1 is just 1,700 g.

The innovative design approach of the Xsjado skates may still stir up extreme emotions - but regardless of personal feelings about their aesthetics, there is no denying that they are simply unique compared to other models. More natural, they respect first and foremost what is most important in a aggressive inline skate - the comfort of the user and their feet! We confidently recommend them to anyone who has been using inline skates with a standard design for years!

Technical Data

About manufacturer

Other products of this producer Usd

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.
