Playlife Imperial 80 Violet - the transfer from Powerslide
The transition of the renowned Powerslide Imperial skate to the Playlife brand brings a storied legacy into a new era. This move signifies more than a mere change of branding; it represents the fusion of Powerslide's renowned quality and performance with Playlife's commitment to accessibility and value, aiming to bring high-quality skating experiences to a broader audience.
The Imperial skate has left its footprints in the urban freeride skate scene. It's known for its robust hardboot construction, offering unparalleled support and durability, making it ideal for both, beginners and skate veterans.
Hardbooot with comfortable fit
The heart of the Playlife Imperial 80 Violet is the hardboot configuration that provides an unmatched level of support and durability, ensuring that skaters can skate with confidence. This is complemented by the Basic dual-fit liner, which not only offers superior comfort but also enhances control by ensuring a snug, responsive fit, adapting seamlessly to the skater's movements.
With its vibrant violet color scheme and the classic white base, the Imperial 80 from Playlife is addressed to female skaters or skaters with a slim to medium foot shape.
Solid 4-wheel setup
Equipped with a lightweight but rigid aluminum frame, and Playlife 80mm wheels at 85A hardness, the Imperial 80 Violet offers a solid 4-wheel skate setup. The skate strikes an optimal balance between grip and speed, facilitating smooth rides across both smooth and rough surfaces. This wheel hardness is specifically selected to offer a versatile skating experience, enabling quick maneuvers, and efficient power transfer.
Smooth running bearings
Completing this high-performance setup are the ABEC 9 bearings, which ensure a smooth, frictionless roll. These bearings are designed for precision and durability, providing a seamless and exhilarating skating experience that both beginners and seasoned skaters will appreciate.
With the Playlife Imperial 80 Violet you can´t go wrong. Its unique blend of comfort, durability, and performance positions it as an ideal choice for those embarking on their skating journey as well as for the experienced looking for a reliable and agile urban skate.
