Thank you for the best of times! 15 epic years - and we have been through a lot. It’s been an amazing run! We created something that won’t be forgotten, but given that our business structure has not worked for some time, we have mutually agreed to close our doors.
To the supporters, my family and my friends, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Thank you for following the brand. I am so fortunate to have been able to share the last 15 years with you all. It’s truely been a blessing for me to have had you all be a part of it.
R.I.P Valo. To be continued. - Jon Julio.

It’s been a while since you heard news from Xsjado. The rumors of the brand quitting business were in the streets for quite some time but no official statement was made until now.
The Xsjado Farewell is your last chance to grab a piece of skating history as this is our last skate to be released.
We want to thank all the individuals, designers, skaters, photographers and videographers, distributors and dealers who made Xsjado possible, who worked hard and helped us with their talent and expertise, specially during the development of the Xjsado 2.0 model and who kept the brand alive, staying by our side during these past hard years of skating recession. Thank you all for your support.
But look forward with hope because every end is a new beginning.

Dear all,
We are excited to announce, that the moment has come which we have looked to so long: Roces itself wants to dive again into the water of street/ aggressive skating. We feel positive sensations and buzz around the scene and on the top of this Roces considers street/ aggressive skating as the most important component of the brand DNA and heritage. As you probably already became aware of from the social networks, the partnership with Jon Julio has come to an end. We want to thank him and everybody for 15 years of pleasant Roces-Valo cooperation and now let’s move on and look at the future.
Roces is now working on a new street/ aggressive skate range and you will get exciting updates soon. At the same time, we understand the importance of supporting riders and local heroes and this is why a new promotional plan is on the table.This world is still the beating heart of the skating imagery, it is still the electric impulse and the spectacular ingredient of what we all call “inline skating”.
All you need is to roll! Take care and keep well. - Roces
