So we have decided to highlight some of our industry’s hot new items in our newest feature “Nuts and Bolts”. We will be summarizing the latest products within the blading world and give you a quick and easily digestible source to view the freshest products from all corners of the blading world from the last few weeks.
Fresh off the heals of the much anticipated Brian Shima 20th anniversary skate release, Razors skates have also dropped some beautiful new graphite colored Cult skates with clean mint accents on the shell and stock liners and the always solid GC FeatherLite 3 frames and Razors 56mm/90A wheels. The skate is reminiscent of the classic EscoZoo models that have been highly coveted for years, so this will be a welcome addition to your collection for all you Cult enthusiasts out there.
There has even been recent sightings of Razors newest light grey Shifts which were previewed in their new promo which was released featuring Texas wonderboy Andrew Broom and produced by Anthony Medina. Although the skates sadly aren’t Andrew’s pro model boot, they still look quite clean and the Shift is still a solid boot in Razors new line which has multiple different models on the market for whatever your skating preference is.
The new grey Shifts come stock with Reign’s newest V3HT liners (more info below), wax laces, Ground Control‘s famous Featherlite 3 Frames, 62mm 90A wheels with Abec 9 bearings included and with plastic anti-rockers and a cushy Shift/SL heelpad to keep your feet feeling nice and kushy! Razors also added an additional eyelet that is said to improve the overall fit and responsiveness, while locking your heels firmly down and reducing the dreaded heal lift you get while skating and jumping.
The new grey Shifts are currently available for pre-order so be sure and hit up your favorite local shop to get on that list.

Reign have just released their newest liner offering titled the V3 HT. The liners have a few slight modifications from their previous model, such as a raised Achilles dip to allow use with higher cut skate cuffs. The liners also offer additional padding in the ankle and tongue areas for more support and helps to extend the life of the liner as well. They have also eliminated some excess materials which present a cleaner and more appealing look. Similar to its predecessor the HT includes a neoprene toe cap for a more personalized fit, form fitting tongue, rubber heel patch to decrease heel lift, lycra inner-lining, tri-lacing, and a handy-dandy carrying strap. If previous Reign liners might have been too short cut for your liking, than the new and improved V3 liner should fit your needs much better.

Blading superhero Montre Livingston has just been given his third pro model skates from USD in the form of a sexy red and white Sway shell, with matching MyFit liners and a Monkey King theme, which honors Montre’s grandmother, who gave Montre that nickname at a young age because of his penchant for flipping around constantly. The boots will match perfectly with Montre’s recently released signature Create Original frames, which also sport the Monkey King design and colorway. The skates are also a throwback and salute to USD icon Rachard Johnson, who was a huge inspiration for Montre (and countless others) growing up.
The new Montre boots are scheduled to be available this month so be sure to add them to your Christmas wish list and hopefully all your naughty deeds will be conveniently overlooked this year.
On top of the Montre Sways, USD has also released pictures of their newest Sam Croft‘s second pro Aeon skates which features the same popular Aeon unibody construction but with a full upgrade and revamp of the classic skate. The new Croft 2s feature a real suede skin top and their highly anticipated second generation Aeon cuff. The new suede skin is double stitched along its’ contours and extra reinforced with a dense overstitch and rivets at the high stress points. The skate also features Sam’s pro Myfit Second Skin liner, waxed hockey style laces, an upgraded thicker shock absorber, high speed UHR (Ultra High Rebound) wheels and Abec 7 Wicked Bearings.
