Shadow Farmer

USD Shadow Chris Farmer Pro Skate - The Circle Closes
This is how the circle closes — the final pro skate for one of the greatest legends aggressive skating has ever seen.

Chris Farmer is one of the all-time GOATs of blading. A skater who never stopped, never disappeared, and never let his level drop. For decades, Chris has pushed skating forward with unmatched creativity, power, technical precision, and pure dedication. His skating has never been driven by ego or money, but by something far more important: the love of the game.

A Lifetime Connected to Powerslide
Chris Farmer’s journey has always been closely connected to Powerslide. From his early years with Deshi, to the iconic Xsjado era, to his return to USD Shadow, and later to numerous USD Sway models, Chris has left his mark on some of the most influential skates in aggressive skating history. Now, his final pro skate becomes a tribute to that complete journey — a dedication to his skating life and the full circle of rolling.

Original Shadow DNA
The Chris Farmer Pro Skate is built around the original Xsjado / Shadow mold, bringing back the unmistakable design, feeling, and function of one of the most iconic step-in skate systems ever created. It features the essential elements that made the platform legendary:

Original Xsjado-inspired mold
Two-piece soulplate
One-piece cuff
Classic footwrap feeling
Updated outsole
New interlock construction
All key components needed to recreate one of the most iconic skates ever designed

This is not just a skate. It is a piece of aggressive skating history rebuilt for today.

Honoring the Step-In Legacy
The skate is not only an homage to Chris Farmer himself, but also to Shane Coburn and Dustin Latimer, the creative minds behind the original Xsjado step-in system. Their vision changed the way skaters thought about fit, freedom, customization, and skate construction. This model carries that spirit forward with original vibes, modern updates, and the unmistakable flair of one of blading’s greatest icons.

Built with Original Vibes and Modern Function
The Chris Farmer Pro Skate brings back the feeling that made the Shadow platform special, while updating key areas for modern performance. The classic footwrap concept delivers that unique connected fit, while the new outsole and interlock system improve function, support, and reliability. Combined with the two-piece soulplate and one-piece cuff, the skate delivers the familiar Shadow feeling with the performance needed for today’s aggressive skating.

A Tribute to the GOAT
Chris Farmer’s name will always rank among the highest in the hall of fame of skating. His influence, style, and dedication have shaped generations of skaters around the world. This final pro skate is a thank-you. A celebration. A closing chapter for a skater whose passion has always been unmatched.

Thank you, Chris, for everything you have done for us and for skating.

The circle closes — but the legacy will roll forever.
