Playlife Imperial 80 Violet – the transition from Powerslide

The transition of the renowned Powerslide Imperial skate to the Playlife brand brings a consolidated legacy into a new era. This change represents much more than a simple re-branding; it symbolizes the combination of Powerslide's renowned quality and performance with Playlife's commitment to accessibility and excellent value for money, with the aim of bringing high-quality skating experiences to a wider audience.

The Imperial skate has left a significant mark on the urban freeride scene. It is known for its sturdy hardboot construction, offering exceptional support and durability, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced skaters.

Hardboot with comfortable fit

The heart of the Playlife Imperial 80 Violet is its hardboot configuration, which provides an unparalleled level of support and resistance, allowing skaters to glide with complete confidence.

This is complemented by the Basic Dual Fit liner, which not only offers great comfort but also improves control thanks to a firm and responsive fit, adapting perfectly to the skater's movements.

With its striking violet color combination and classic white base, the Playlife Imperial 80 is specially designed for female skaters or for people with narrow or medium-shaped feet.

Solid 4-wheel setup

Equipped with a lightweight yet rigid aluminum frame and 80mm Playlife 85A hardness wheels, the Imperial 80 Violet offers a solid four-wheel setup.

The skate achieves an optimal balance between grip and speed, allowing for smooth gliding on both smooth surfaces and rougher terrain. This wheel hardness has been specifically selected to offer a versatile skating experience, facilitating quick maneuvers and efficient power transfer.

Smooth rolling thanks to its bearings

Completing this high-performance setup are the ABEC 9 bearings, which guarantee a smooth glide with minimal friction.

These bearings are designed to offer precision and durability, providing a fluid and exciting skating experience that both beginners and more experienced skaters will enjoy.

With the Playlife Imperial 80 Violet, you can't go wrong. Its unique combination of comfort, strength, and performance makes them an ideal choice for those starting out in the world of skating as well as for advanced skaters looking for a reliable, agile, and high-performance urban skate.
