Step into the shadows with confidence. The all-new USD Sway Chess Black is a statement of power and precision, wrapped in a sleek, all-black aesthetic with some grey highlights. Built for riders who demand style, strength, and performance, this aggressive skate brings classic design and modern functionality into perfect harmony.
Rugged Simplicity – The Boot and Liner
The Sway Chess Black features a durable hardboot that offers unmatched support and protection while staying surprisingly light on your feet. Its smooth matte finish is minimalistic but bold, and the design is built to handle anything from stair gaps to ledge grinds. Inside, the comfortable dual fit liner hugs your foot for a snug, responsive fit. The fit overall is wide and roomy so will fit perfectly to everybody. With a dual lacing and buckle system, you get locked-in security and instant control, whether you're skating fast lines or dialling in technical tricks.
Built to Roll – Setup, Frame, and More
Under the hood, the Sway Chess Black comes with a solid setup: USD’s Kizer Fluid V frames, known for their incredible durability and grind-friendly design, are mounted using the reliable UFS (Universal Frame System). This means maximum compatibility with other aftermarket parts and complete customization freedom. The 58mm USD Sway 90A wheels with smooth WICKED ABEC 9 bearings offer the perfect balance between speed and control, allowing you to cruise, carve, or stomp landings with confidence.
Join the Movement
The USD Sway Chess Black isn’t just a skate—it’s a mindset. It’s for the skaters who carve their own path, who grind against the grain, and who don’t just ride—they rule. Lace up, lock in, and own every move. This is your board. Your city. Your game.
