About this product
The K2 Uptown is a skate that, candidly, links the present to the past. A modern aesthetic with a timeless silhouette. Skaters from the ’90s may notice a resemblance to the Fatty or King 55 models, and it wouldn’t be wrong to suggest users could similarly use the Uptown. Nevertheless, the K2 Uptown is an excellent choice for recreational skaters looking for a comfortable boot with style, support and contemporary performance.
Having this boot on your foot is akin to putting your foot in a massive bag of rice, which is no surprise considering K2 are the original soft boot brand. The lining is soft whilst holding the structure perfectly. The gum sole and toe cap protects the skate in critical areas and adds a welcome dash of colour.
The cuff is from K2’s aggressive model and is highly supportive, meaning it passes all kinds of urban skating tests. Combining the soft boot with a robust cuff will benefit those seeking the support of hard shells without compromising on comfort.
The machined aluminium frame is lightweight, fast and responsive, perfect for acceleration and energy transfer. The use of 6mm hardware is a unique offering from K2 and has many advantages, including rockering. By altering K2’s frame spacers, users are able to configure the wheels for general, salmon, banana, hockey or balanced rockering (rockering changes the position of the wheels on the up/down axis resulting in different pivot points, from natural to extreme).
The 80mm wheels combined with ILQ 7 bearings create a balance between performance, grip and speed.
The K2 Uptown could be the ultimate lifestyle skate, though the powerful marketing of other brands means it's often overlooked. K2 build quality skates with style and purpose.
*an optional brake is included in the box
*weight of individual skate in a UK8 = 1.78 kgs
