The long awaited USD Aeon 60 Sam Crofts Pro Skates are now here and we think they are one of the best looking Aeons to date. Let’s hear what the main man himself has to say about them.

“For my third pro skate from USD I’ve designed another skinned Aeon 60. In an effort to make my skate more sustainably sourced Ive this time chosen a Vegan / PU leather. Ive been extensively testing various types of Vegan / PU leather skins over the course of the last 18 months and Im very confident what weve come up with is even better than the real suede/leather used on my previous skate.”

“I was fortunate that the release of this skate coincided with the release of my first aftermarket pro MyFit second skin liner, which will also come with this skate as standard. The liner follows the same classic MyFit second skin silhouette, but has been constructed with upgraded materials; a super hardwearing vegan suede exterior to prevent any holes caused by abrasion or pressure points from the inside of the skate to give the liner an extended life. I added a very comfy recall innersole for extra comfort on longer session and I rounded it off with a classic 14 wale corduroy top to match my favourite pants, embroidered with my signature geometric fox. We also upgraded the wheels, the skate now comes with the premium Undercover Apex 60mm wheels and Wicked Abec 9 bearings for super fast bowl and park skating, making this my fastest and highest spec pro skate yet!”
