“This is a custom made skin handcrafted to fit on a Valo Brand skates boot. Only one custom pair was made. The original Nike skins was taken from a Nike Air Zoom Assassin TD Football cleats. DISCLAIMER: Nike does not produce aggressive inline skates. This is a film to show the custom skates in action” – Edwin Urena.

Check out the new comic series from local skater Edwin Urena. “A tribute to the lifestyle of freestyle rolling (aggressive inline). The story follows the adventures of an up-and-coming skater named Charz. While playing for his middle school varsity team, his childhood dream to become a pro basketball player was shattered when he realized he was becoming a slave to the sport. After watching a local skater grind a handrail something deep inside him inspired him to strap on some skates and be free” – Edwin Urena. See the first pages at the ED13 site.
