Hey guys welcome back to the dis Soul skat Shop YouTube channel in this video it’s all about new products for 2024 to get you the latest insights me and Eric went to the iso the iso is a Trader convention especially for sporting shops like ours this is soul we
Are of course the specialized inlight skate shop in Amsterdam focused on having the best shopping experience for skaters that we can offer each year there are tons of exciting product releases at ISO in all sorts of outdoor Sports including inline skating we made a video about our last trip in 2020 also
Featuring new product releases in 20120 there were more inline skating brand present with booths this year there was much less to see unfortunately instead of seeing the booths of the brands I made sure to get meetings with as many people in our industry as possible any piece of new product information that we
Can leak I will tell you in this video also there are tons of Great Outdoor skatee parks in Munich sadly it started to snow pretty hard in the middle of the trip more info about that later fun thing about the iso is that there are all sorts of inventors
And products from outside of our little niece that can Inspire us before we even entered the hall we met this guy who invented an inflatable helmet what do you guys think of this as soon as we entered first thing we saw was an interesting ski design it reminded me of
The USD Legacy and the K2 Nemesis skates inless skate Tech is a lot like ski tech in that it’s very difficult to make a boot design that offers support and also comfort in this skyboard here it offers the Comfort by being flexible in the front and being extra stiff with metal
Bars in the back like an exoskeleton another cool thing we learned there was that there’s a way to measure your food with your phone there were even two companies offering this your food measurements are then linked to detailed shoe sizing so that you know what fits on your foot and
What doesn’t for skating the biggest struggle will be to include all the data for how each skate fits we will look into this for our web shop to see if it’s feasible to work with them so that maybe we can offer you at home the knowledge of what skate will fit the
Best with your foot the first skating brand we saw was stampage it was good to see Patrick again they gave us some insight in their new line they have a black and white fiber skate right now in the market and they let us know the new color for next
Year would be black gold for their Viber skate the fber is an open mold and uses the same shell as the RB Cruiser from rollerblade they also let us know they once made a sample of an aggressive skate but decided time was not ready for them to get into the aggressive market
Yet did you guys know that tempus actually has an sbm3 memory Buckle we have it available at this soul.com it makes opening and closing your skates much easier talking about roll blade rollerblade was now there as a brand but we do know what’s coming for them a lot
Of their products are carryover products meaning that it will have the same colors and models as in 2023 but there’s also some new stuff there is a new RB Cruiser 80 in a stylish black colorway but the big news is that they will have a completely new mold it’s called the
Lightning and look who they used in the pictures it’s former students of ours puma and Indie we of course have a skat School in Amsterdam so if you ever want to get a lesson feel free to contact us and this girl is my colleague’s Eric’s girlfriend there’s also a new liner called The
Nomad it looks very well made but it does remind me of a certain liner from another brand anybody see the resemblance good to see the r bait is going in this Direction with their products another big leap for them is this flow skating frame for 165 mm mounted boot rocker five wheeel frames
Are great and it’s good to see that Brand’s catching up on this next stop was meeting with Thomas Bower from powerslide we talked about some business stuff and of course about new products their new model is the powerlet NEX mustard with 125 MM Wheels there
Will of course be a lot of new products in 2024 that power slide will release but they’re not ready to tell us yet power slide is also the distributor for USD gods and Mesmer for USD they released a new kit skate called the glitch in a lot of funky colors there’s
A new grayish steam skate and a new suway Pro Skate for Chris farmer with a cool giraffe type of print then for Gods there’s a nice black Michael pra Pro Skate he was in a terrible accident but he got back on his feet and his skating is better now than ever there’s a
Documentary feeding his recovery if you want to feel inspired and Mesmer has just released their new team skate in a gray color walking around ISO it was hard to miss the cougar Booth because it was so big this is a brand that I had only heard of once or twice they were super
Friendly and had a greatl looking new freestyle skate called the wind it looked a lot better than their old skate the colors and design were modern and had two big advertisements of a male and a female skater that look very stylish the aggressive skate had the same look
And it’s called the storm it’s like it was the same shell with a soul plate attached to it but in fact it’s a different mold there were two Soul plates in total one was ufs with changeable frames and one was a soul frame where the frame and soul blades
Are one the designs were not completely ready uh they’re still working on it for example you can see how high the ufs frame is right now so they aiming to make it lower and the Soul frame was still a 3D print so it was not even the final sample
Yet if you ask Eric then their best game was this XXL model finally a ska in his size he Said while walking around we bumped into methew he is an aggressive skater that started the core brand they make mainly scooter stuff but will also be at the winter class this year with stuff for inline skating they have wax knee pads bearings metal core 58 mm and 60 mm
Wheels another cool thing is that they’re looking to expand their team riders in the evening we met with the guys from Wizard skating andf by now you must have seen the new Wizard boot that came out it’s up for pre-ordering on this soul.com and pre-orders are flooding in it’s one of
The most expensive boots that have ever hit the market I think it’s a ufs boot designed to be used with baked Wheels there are two versions one normal height and one that’s extra high it was very cool to get a sneak preview of the skate from them and
Always nice to chat with the guys about all sorts of nerdy skate Stuff the next day while walking around Munich before going to the iso we saw the Salomon store and in it was Robert Krueger by coincidence an old school skater working there skiing is super interesting for us as skaters because there is so much knowledge in those
Sports he showed me the insol that they have from the seedos brand we already saw super feet insol of course at this assult skate shop but the seus insults also look really good so we’re looking into getting them as well for our shop Rob also made a custom insole for me in
The store another thing I would love to be able to offer at our skate shop in msam as well thank you rob for all the information and getting me those custom insoles and we’re back at the iso yesterday we saw the new Wizard boot the wizard brand frames are made with CNC
Out of a solid block of aluminum this is a very expensive way to manufacture of course and apparently there’s a figure ice skating brand doing the same thing they were at the iso with a booth to show it off theand price is only €1,200 just for the frame then if you
Think about it A500 wizard frame is suddenly not that much anymore one new Skate brand that was not there at the iso but we should definitely talk about is the standard skates the standard scate brand was just launched a couple of months ago and pre-orders for it have gone through the
Roof the new aggressive skate brand has the most PR we’ve ever had the skates will hopefully land at this asso in February so that super exciting and I’m proud to say that this is soul is the exclusive retailer for them in Europe roaches was there with the big
Boo 3 years ago but they are in a little bit of a changing situation because they got a new CEO right now it’s not sure if things will stay how they are or if there will be some big changes for roaches in the future roaches has been in the cfin
Family since it’s Inception lots of family members are still working there but now it’s the first time it’s not run by any of the family members itself I hope things will go well for them it’s always good to see fins from farmas we hang out a bit and talked about all
Sorts of things but there were no product sneak previews that he wanted to share the last stop I did at ISO was when everything was already being taken down I went into a hall that had never been to yet and there was this little jump ramp company I would have not
Thought too much about it but they had an aggressive inline skater in one of their posters so I had to include it in this video I love it when outside brands are using inline skating for their marketing in the evening for dinner we met with Ricardo Lino and learned about his new
Plans he quit working for micro skate September 2023 and is now going to be the global brand manager and product consultant for flying eagle skates flying eagle is a Chinese brand brought to Europe by Ollie Bennett in 2014 Ollie had a shop in Barcelona back then and introduced the brand to the
Spanish Market I knew the brand mainly from their not so good-looking designs they have been doing a lot better and better over the years though and now with Ricardo being Global brand manager they also hired Kenneth D as brand director and head of design Kenneth really knows what he’s
Doing so they both will make for a great future together for the brand then it was time to go home but the weather gos did not allow It our flight got delayed delayed and cancelled then we tried to book a train and it got delayed and then cancelled and we ended up spending the night at the train station and staying four more extra days in Munich Hopefully next time we have more luck in our journey it was fun talking to all industry people there all the new products will be of course available on this.com reach out to our customer support if you have any questions and you guys in the future Byebye
