Remz 09One skates released
It's been a long time coming! Remedy have released their first closed shell skate for 2009, the Remz 09One skates this week. It has the same classic Remz design but a bunch of improvements and modifications to last year's 08Three model. Loco skates has them up on the website for you to order right now in either a complete skate or a boot-only. Here's what the guys at Remz said about their new skate: Meet the ultimate blading weapon in disguise. The new 09-1 by Remz. For this all-new release, Remz updated every component of their winning freedom-of-feet formula: the 09-1 liner is stuffed with new foam cuts for more comfort and better support, a softer | heel pad and new insole, a better fitted tongue and new neoprene patterns for an all around accurate fit. The 09-1 skin features a fresh and clean Remz-style design incorporating the Remz rear lacing system pioneered by Chris Haffey and back by popular demand, a redesigned and reinforced buckle opening, a cuff bolt opening, and a wide lacing in the front for optimum foot support. The 09-1 customizable ankle support also received a makeover with a new V-foam detachable design that will make your skates look just as good with flat-cut or V-cut. Renowned for innovative ideas and proven concepts, Remz has stepped it up again with this brand new 09-1 to give you a perfect mix of technicality, comfort and style. Freedom-of-feet approved. - 2nd Sept |
