Glad you enjoyed them so much

Bought these after my 17 year hiatus from skating and hot dangggggg, they're so good! The comfort, mind blowing. Can skate for hours with no hot spots or pain, just so good

Biggest souls I've ever seen. those skates look like a dream to skate in.

God damn Shadows keep looking more and more appealing. I used to despise how they looked, but the tides are changing... Great video 🔥⚡🔥⚡

Best skating I’ve seen you do in all the videos I’ve watched, these are probably the ones for you

That closeup of the wax saturated ledge warms my heart. Prolly see u at Havasu next weekend!!!

Man the older xsjado and these new shadows have so much appeal to me havent skated in over 20 years after a gnarly leg break i never was really able to get back on track it was a game ender but i like to see that the sport is making a comeback

USD definitely makes the fastest soul plates(not including the aeon of course).... I had a pair of USD VII skates and they slid like crazy! I’m glad you like the shadows. Bill had the farmer 1’s and later some basic black xsjados. Jonathan had the original Dustin Latimer’s as well. I loved my Damien Wilson’s but the soul plate did get rounded off and caused some issues because I sized down to the small shell. On the Internet we used to call that type of mono strap a “maxi pad“ 😂

First time I’ve ever seen anyone skate shadows (including pros) and thought, “damn those look gooood!”. You were tearing it up and it looks like they fit you perfectly. I’m just now trying to get used to Fluid Vs on my thrones 😁

Damn, you made me really, really miss skating Xsjado's. Like, really miss it.

Just got these and I cant believe how good they are. I've swapped the frame out for Oysi mediums though because I couldn't get on with the fluids! I also had to size up a half size from my street shoe size for the best fit. edit to add: I've been skating these with 5mm Footprint insoles in the boot and without the shock absorbers and the feel is just amazing. I don't do any big gaps and I'm mostly just skating park right now so I don't really have much need for the shock absorption. The increase in proprioceptive sensitivity you get without the shock pads is really quite profound. Having your foot that much closer to the soulplate and frame makes a tremendous amount of difference in my opinion and the skates feel so much more like an extension of your own body. The "lean back" sensation you get without the shock pads may not be for everyone however. I've worn zero-drop & minimalist shoes only for over 10 years, so that flat footed sensation comes as second nature to me.

Finally someone did a review video on these shadows awesome as always

Your videos have a ton of quality, you talk well and skate even better! Loving these reviews, hadn't heard of shadow usds they look kinda weird tho

Yes!! I was waiting for this! Im also planning to buy the EE Shadows. Great review!

I'm going to send this to EVERYONE who has ever dismissed my shadows/xsjados because they're ugly without trying them. I really think they're the best that's ever been on the market along with classic thrones.

I was surprised how good that little H block works on ledges

Was so stoked to grab these skates and I love them! love the vids man, good work!

With the shadow cronicals b roll in back :D I love the skates too. Only thing i switched out was the frame to a fluid4. I am not precise enough for a flat frame.

Killer F7s, man! And the rough grinds, whew! You were really getting down to business💼 Thanks for the video. Super informative and entertaining as usual.

Finally a review for the skates I'm still waiting to arrive.....sad times for small feet people

This is the exact video I was looking for. Have a pair arriving this week.

The Shadows are definitely Japanese, Socks in Sandles inspired. Straight up ninja!

Man! Your royales were on point! The whole thing was great,but wow! 720 was no such either...

I don't know how many people I've seen throw christ back torques but it was dope

I really like how in depth you go into these reviews. Much love!

I absolutely love mine. So glad I got a pair

dang man nice you got some maneuvers

I love these skates!! These were my first introduction to Shadows and I can see where all the hype comes from! So comfortable and slide really well! Also come in handy when I'm skating somewhere where I need to convert to the walkable liners to go into places! Side note: my coworkers told me the liners look like Napolean dynamite boots! 🤣

Xsjado's are dope and Eugen is a stand up dude. Win, win.

USD Shadow is not my style of skate, they look like moon boots, but seeing you skating actually it wasn’t looking so bad, it looks like a regular skate from distance, probably I’ll never try it tough, if you guys are interested but a little sceptical about the boots they are not looking bad, I just don’t like this much of complications. Other than that another positive feedback for Fluid V frame which is I really would like to skate. Thanks a lot, great review, not very much interested to skate shadows but always eager to know more details about the skate, appreciated.

Great review. Even better skating.

I got to impatient waiting on these and bought the Jeff Dalnas triggers (which I love) but wish I would have waited.

@11:00... damn son!

I haven't skated in years but this makes me want to get my old original Latimer shadows out, love those skates!

I'm not sure on these skates. I used to use the Original all black team skate back in the day and they were amazing. I loved the concept have having a shoe with the padded cuff rather than the tall walkable liner. Used to love the first gen souls as well. I still have them but the heel shock absorber turned to dust last time I took them out and they're quite hard to find replacements. I'd still skate them today if I could find some of them. As always, keep up the great work with the videos, you're quickly becoming one of my favourites mate! Love from the UK.

Man i literally just threw away some 20 years ago back in late 90s i used back in georgia, havent been anywhere i could ride em and they deteriorated and now i find shadows are more dope when im moving to florida, where im planning on getting new ones

Cool blades.....I skate razor cults,but would love to try these blades......I also like the back drop of the hills in the back ground when you were grinding the rail.....Something about it .....makes it look like in the middle of no where... just awesome scenery......nice review.....

Looking super comfortable on those skates bro!

Subbed! I love how you point out how steep the boot down angle. Good review 😎

I kinda flinched at 9:18 lol

I nearly got a pair but ended up with the lomax aeon and love it , maybe I need shadows as a back up pair 🤔😅

This was a great review! I’ve been looking at these. May pull the trigger. Just not on triggers. I just have to realize they won’t make me as good as enin lol. Like jordans won’t make me dunk lmao.

These boots look so good

Greetings from Germany, I love your content. Keep it up!

The Fluid V's are imo the best flat frame around period, not a fan of the shadow aesthetically though they look like space boots LOL but each to their own.

Super sick! Makes me want another part!

Wow, dare I say this was the best I've ever seen you skate?! 🔨 🔨 🔨 🔨 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Man, I kind of want these! Looked like you had a good time!

If Powerslide keeps making these new Shadows to fit with the old Xsjado parts, I'll be so sold into them for a long time. I never want to replace my old ones, but I hope they keep the style alive for when I have to do that

Got them in white shipped from Japan comes in a few days! Super stoked

I bought a pair of these and can't decide if I like them or not. The liner is really tall and I'm struggling to get boot down on royales, but it's still too early to tell. Great video, Dude.

Was gonna get these but I'm waiting on the Damien Wilson 20th anniversary skates. Thanks for the review.

Ohhh man! The 1st basic Xsjado were my last skate bought like 20 years ago. Bought the Aeon XXI for a comeback. About this one, they improve everything from the liner which was the weakness, the strap system and the frame (wasn't a huge fan of the banana). So... I plan to destroy the Aeon very fast so I can legitimately bought the next Farmer Shadow.

I have those. But I only use it to cruise around the beach then go to a bar have a drink and skate back at the beach.

My last pair of xsjados was the Jeff Stockwells and I learned everything on them. Getting back into the sport a couple years later and I got some Razors SL but I miss that xsjado flex and huge plate. Definitely thinking about getting these!!!! Thanks for the review!!!

I’ve always been a skateboarder but I used to buy soap shoes all the time because you could use them anywhere like @ school and it was so much fun. Why no one hasn’t brought back soap shoes is a TRAGEDY and a national disgrace! I would try getting into rollerblading as something new if I wasn’t such an old fat guy now in my mid 30’s. I’ve resigned myself to cheeseburgers and gun collecting. Anyways, great skating man. Your videos are a joy to watch.

Those frames looked better than the aeon for flat

Obviously you know because I posted it in the gc, but so hyped for mine to come in because I haven’t had a pair of xsjados/shadows since I loaned an ex-friend my Jeff stockwell 4 xsjado 1.0s a few years back

You made thm look great, super smooth

I really want to get a pair now

I grew up skating the xsjado Damien Wilson’s and remember how supportive they were. When I got back into blading, I got the USD SHADOW 57s with the 2.0 (2 piece) cuffs and immediately noticed they were super floppy, almost like remz. I’m used to them now after skating them for a couple of years and I want the Eugen’s so bad. I’m so glad they brought back the 1.0 cuff, but now I’m afraid I’m too used to the 2.0 cuffs. Could you try out some shadow 57s or xsjado 2.0s and compare the support? I’m too broke to. 🤣

🍻

They look like kids skates lol. Great vid bro

That rough makio was manly man

nice video

oooooooooh man, i was so tempted to get them. I loved skating Xsjados. Not sure how the new Shadows feel, or how they will be, after a few months, but my only complaint, or negative thing to say about the Xsjados, is that buckle. Previously, that thing got destroyed, and would flap around, and rattle a lot.... I'm still very tempted to get a pair of these though.

I came back to watch this for a second time because im so excited to have this skate. Jus ordered a pair this morning. Bought a pair of trigger rainbows a cpl weeks back and have already decided to switch skates. The shadows are what i had originally wanted to begin with and i shud have jus waited but oh well u live and u learn lol. So for anyone interested i have a brand new pair of trigger rainbow beats size 8US for sale

It seems that they were just available for size EU42 and above… or there have been just very small quantities for smaller sizes. USD has none in stock at the moment but is expecting another model (!) in June. It should be just a different design but basically same boot.

I’m loving all these vids.. I love the camera quality on this video in particular.. did You use a phone? Or a action camera?

i did not know myfit made those hightop supra liners.makes sense.powerslide.

Nice! Ive been thinking about saving up for these, and i loved this review! Ive seen other reviews about a pretty small toe box being an issue. did you find the shape of the toebox to be a bit thinner? enough so to order an upsize from my usual?

Yeah for a while there, usd wasn’t adding the heal pad.

Took 3 year old daughters to new skatepark in town and brought my USD Feinbergs with suspension frames. Found your channel after getting the bug again. Any intention on trying the new shadows? Any pre-thoughts/info about them? Watching from N.Ireland

How would these fit with wide feet? Awesome video!

Another great video! I’m a 285 mondo…Do you think going with the 10.5/282mm would be too short/problem with room in the toes or would you recommended going up to the US 11 which is a 289 mm? Thanks for your help!

Are they heavier than the Razors Cults?

Thought's on the RAZORS SL's? I just bought them and getting back into aggressive inline after a ton of years lol, last time I think I skated was In my teens and I'm 33 gonna be 34 now lol .

Hi Benjamin, I’m a 266 mondo on my biggest foot. In between the 8 and 9. Based off your experience, which size would you recommend?

Do you think you can throw these type of liners into some aeons?

mizou

I loved the USD Shadow Fluid, but these are killing my feet. Yikes. So much pain.

Aeons or shadows ? Which are your favorite right now?

Dam the only thing more annoying then razors cuff sqweak is flat wheel drag..... is anyone going to talk about how you can use this wheel bite to make switch ups easier? 🤔

Update: my shadows come in this week. I can’t wait to skate them.

I wonde how sizes go for these skates if it runs true to size or you size down or what not

would you say, given the construction of that skate, that they are lighter than most traditional plastic boot?

So if I’m an actual 10.5 like my cults are that size and I think they fit well, what size should I get?

👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Where are you purchasing skates from?

How big is that soleplate?
