The Chaya Park Dark Soul Skates are Chaya's first-ever heeled roller skates intended for the parks with parts that are made to rise and grind in any environment. They have a symmetrical block, the Chaya Diamond Slider Grind Blocks , which are easily removable and made with UMHR sliding material. The Shari plates also hold Chaya Park Pro Trucks which are wide at 138mm. The Shari Plates are great on their own as well because they're made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic which is very lightweight but still durable.
The boots have a built-in textile liner with synthetic suede finish leather and TPU welded material on the outside that makes them durable and comfortable. They have a vinyl outsole with a heel that helps with balance naturally as heels distribute your weight for a more agile and upright stance. Down at the very bottom, they hold ABEC9 bearings with Firebolt wheels that are 58mm 101A making them perfect for the parks.
Specifications
| KEY TECHNOLOGIES | |
|---|---|
| UHMW Diamond Sliders Made of UHMW or ultra-high molecular polymer which is already well-known in the aggressive inline skating community for products that are used to slide and grind on obstacles in the skateparks or the streets. They are CNC-machined to perfection with a compatible design that can be used on other plates as well. |
|
| Power Toe System (PTS) Following the natural shape of the foot, PTS allows the toes to have more contact with the boot which in turn provides more power, speed and control. Plus it reduces stress on the toe area for enhanced comfort for long skates. |
|
| Offset Toe Stop The toe stopper has been slightly shifted to the inside and closer to the big toe which aligns with the natural shape of the foot. This elevates performance for quicker acceleration when starting to skate and provides much more effective stopping power. |
