Mery Munoz (Spain) - Carbon Promo for USD.

The new USD Aeon EQT 60 stands for Equity. This is a new model specifically released to support and fund the female riders in our team. The Aeon EQT is available in our fullest size range to be accessible to all riders regardless of gender, age or ability. This new model is a continuation on from our last moves to support the female skate scene, after our initial collaboration with the Bladies brand. USD is now releasing the EQT to acknowledge and address the lack of opportunities for female riders in the blading community and allow them to have a more active role within it.

Equity stands for fairness and justice for a segment of the blade community that has long been overlooked and under supported, but can now be supported by the whole community through this skate. We hope this can be the first of many future models released to support the female riders of the brand. The royalties of this model will go directly towards funding the invaluable work of all USD’s female riders.

This year I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world competing in many skatepark contests, but every time I can, I go street skating with my friends to remind me who, as a inline skater am. Street skating is the reason I started skating , what made me fall in love with the sport. Couldn’t finish the year without a little section for USD showing a bit of my lifestyle in Barcelona. Hope you enjoy it. With the help of Xavi Eguino, Jinxo Films and my good friends I could manage to film some tricks between my contests. - Mery Muñoz.

The USD Carbon continues the legacy of one the most popular skate designs in recent history. Coming in a hot new brown color way, this years carbon will be the one for skaters who demand only the best. The carbon fiber construction and trainer like appearance gives you the lowest volume and lightest skate on the market, weighting in at just 1120 grams per skate. The skate is fully heat moldable, giving you the most personalized fit available in skating. The solid PU cuffs allow the perfect amount of flex, whilst providing sufficient support. The low profile soul plate compliments the overall light weight design whilst still remaining fast and durable on all grinds and slides. The soul plates and cuffs are available in a variety of colors giving you many customization options.

USD Aeon 60 Mery Muñoz Pro Skate Promo - USD Skates.

We are proud to present the USD Aeon 60 Mery Muñoz Pro Skate! “For my pro-model skate, I’ve chosen the Aeon for its unique lightweight design. The unibody frame-boot concept gives me an exceptionally low center of gravity, making the skate feel super stable. The USD design team and I created a skate I can identify myself within through the intricate details we added.

Firstly, I’ve been using the aluminum buckle for over 2 years and never broke one so far so knew I had to have one. Secondly, for extra support I added an additional 45-degree buckle across the instep, I also added extra thick laces and a leather soft top to create the most supportive wrap-around feeling ever made in a 60mm Aeon. The leather top also gives the skate a nice sneaker-style look.

I choose light turquoise and white as they’re my fav color combination and I added my own personally designed little ninja logo to represent myself. My skate also features the new second generation, taller height-adjustable Aeon cuff, perfect to flex for topsides but also allowing for more comfortable and longer skating sessions.

For the liners, I added the 2nd Skin MYFIT liner because it’s super comfy and the tongue gives me a similar feeling to wearing a carbon. To keep me going as fast as possible my skates come with Wicked Abec 9 bearings set up in an exclusive USD wheel (60mm 88a) on which we added one of the most classic Spanish expressions on the wheels design… go and find it up!” - Mery Muñoz.

USD are proud to annouce that the Mery Muñoz Aeon will be one of the first 2021 pro skates to feature in our new higher royalties scheme. On all future releases USD pro team riders will now receive a drastically increased royalty per pro skate sold, alongside their usual monthly incentives schemes. The dedication and support of our professional athletes is completely invaluable to us as a brand and we’re taking all the steps we can to support them to the best of our abilities.

To make such a substantial increase on the royalties, we have had to increase the final retail price of our pro model skates alongside also increasing the prices to compensate for the increased strains that Covid has added to us as a brand including the significant price increases we have faced on both production and shipment as a result of the pandemic.

The Mery Muñoz Aeon also features the following upgrades:

• Premium leather Soft top
• 45 degree ratchet buckle
• Reinforced Aluminium buckle
• Hand crafted dual color print
• Additional heel reflective print
• 60mm 88a Mery Muñoz USD UHR (Ultra High Rebound) Wheels
• Wicked Abec 9 Bearings
