Gawds Michel Prado II - Black/White

  • Inferno Caps

Gawds presents an extensive range of products designed for aggressive inline skating, including esteemed wheels, apparel, and a rich selection of accessories, and most importantly, high-quality inline skates. Emphasizing the development of modern technologies aimed at enhancing performance, Gawds products are gaining increasing recognition among rollerblading enthusiasts.

For the 2023 season, Gawds introduces the second signature edition of the Michael Prado skates, which, unlike previous Gawds models, no longer resemble sports shoes but, with their striking black-and-white colour scheme, reflect Michael's unmatched style and attitude.

Gawds Michael Prado II are hybird design

The Gawds Michael Prado II skates feature a hybrid construction combining a hard, fiberglass-reinforced, composite shell with flexible fabric detailing. Additional reinforcement in the toe and heel areas with thick leather improves abrasion resistance in the most vulnerable spots.
The integrated insole is hand-fitted and directly connected to the fiberglass-reinforced shell, ensuring excellent performance and the characteristic responsiveness of hybrid skates.

The absence of traditional plastic buckles — both the upper closure and the heel strap at an optimal 45-degree angle are now durable and flexible Velcro. This makes the Gawds Michael Prado II models more reminiscent of traditional shoes and additionally offers an increased range of forward-backward movement and noticeable weight reduction.

The minimalist cuff with numerous cuts and a contoured V-cut provides comfortable and secure foot support. Available in three different sizes for even better harmonization with the specific shell size.
High-quality components

The Kizer Fluid IV frame, designed for anti-rocker setup, is known for its hardness. Lightweight yet incredibly durable, this frame has a maximally low centre of gravity for optimal balance. Offered in three different lengths to suit individual preferences and correct fit to the skate shell.

The Gawds Michael Prado pro model wheels feature a popular 60 mm diameter and a universal 90a hardness for good grip on both smooth skatepark surfaces and streets. Complete with Wicked Abec 9 bearings.
The 45 mm centre wheels facilitate all kinds of grinds, and the use of standard bearings makes the skates less noisy on uneven surfaces.

Gawds Michael Prado II — worth knowing!

The Gawds Michael Prado II skates do not offer a heat moulding option — the built-in liner allows for proper foot fitting right out of the box. The hybrid construction means a much shorter period of 'getting used to' the new skates.
The Gawds Michael Prado II models have the same construction as the previously used USD Carbon Free models. So, if you were a fan of these compact, fairly low skates, the new Gawds offering will be a perfect choice.
