The USD AEON Series changed the skating world with a unibody mold construction (boots and frames are one-piece, lowering the skate height for better control and lightening it taking away frame mounting hardware). The AEON 80 Team is arguably the best looking yet in black and gold.
Voted ‘Top Performer’ in the urban skate category by IW Staff. The Twister Edge shell is strong, sturdy and SUPER responsive with the help of aluminum frame mounting plates (frames adjust bother laterally and front to back). They fit tight by design to capture all energy from within, but they also run a tad small. Order 1/2 size larger than shoe for performance, or 1 full size for a more casual fit (they break in so you want them snug out of the box). The Twister Edge from Rollerblade is for skilled adrenaline seekers that will benefit from all of its built-in performance.
Flying Eagle F3S Origami Skates. Incredible fit and comfort, a responsive hard shell and a puzzling low price. Great for both urban and freeskating. Targeted toward intermediate skaters, but suitable for all with purchase of aftermarket brake.
Buckles are high quality, with the 45 degree being a push-release ratchet buckle. Shock eraser pad in heel smooths out jumps and stairs. Removable liners are well padded and comfortable. Boots mount 165mm to give lots of options should you want to change later on. Stock frames are strong CNC machined aluminum that can mount 155mm, 165mm or 195mm (4×80 or 4×76 depending on size). Replaceable sliders finish off a resilient urban freeskate from the Eagle.

FR FRX 310 Skates Black. The FR brand took over the FReeride Skates from Seba and the FRX boot is probably the most well-known. The popular FRX boot has no vents that compromise rigidity, making them firm and responsive for urban and freestyle skating. The FRX 310 is packaged with X3 3×110 frames to skate fast and agile, ready to carve up the landscape with the strength and durability to take stairs and landings. Street Kings Wheels have you well-suited for both speed and durability.

Flying Eagle F5S Eclipse Skates. The F5S Eclipse is a highend urban freeskate, at a low end price. The boots have the same build as the popular and responsive Falcon, but it packaged wtih optional rockering frames (front and rear axles) for slalom freestyle skating or just to customize to preference. The liners fit snug, and offer lacing eyelets to fasten directly to the boot should you want enhanced feel/response. Solid aluminum mounting plates anchor the frames to the boots for the best possible reaction. Replaceable sliders and super high rebound (SHR) wheels round out a great package for urban and freestyle skating.
