Powerslide&39;s flagship freestyle skate, the Hardcore Evo just got even better for 2017. Powerslide have taken all the new features from the 2016 model and upgraded key features to make it even better for 2017. Powerslide went for an sleek black / grey boot, with red / white details to make it stand out from the crowd giving it a classy look to compliment the level of quality we&39;ve come to expect from the Hardcore Evo skates. The shell is made of reinforced carbon fibre and kevlar and is heat mouldable to your foot (use caution when doing this yourself!) with a new extra 5mm heel lift making the HC Evo even more maneuverable then ever before and putting you in the perfect responsive position for toe based tricks. The Trinity cuff gives the skater maximum lateral support thanks to the “arcade-construction” on both sides which shows a big cavity from front view. This unique construction provides extra stiffness while keeping the overall weight of the cuff very low. Nanoleather makes up the upper portion of the skate with increased support and comfort in the ankle area over previous models. The built-in liner has specially placed 3 layer padding with 3D anatomical speedfoam for comfort and is heatmouldable to get the best fit possible. A series of buckles and straps help secure the foot in place in the Hardcore EVO skate with surgical precision.
Powerslide have gone the extra mile for 2017 and included the Powerslide Spider Pro rockered frame finished in black with anodised red details. The Spider frame is lighter and stronger than ever before and made of high-end 7005 aluminium / The frame enables various rockering set-ups. Tucked into the frame are Powerslide&39;s Spinner Super High Rebound wheels in red with WCD Twincam ILQ9 Slalom bearings (ABEC 9).
