Gawds Team 2 - White

  • Nils Jansons

Lead by the blading legend Franky Morales, the Gawds brands is currently one of the fastest developing aggressive skate manufacturer. The hallmark of Gawds products has so far been a visual reference to Frankie's favourite Nike Air Jordan sneakers, but recently the brand offers its second skate model, stacked with little different properties.

Gawds Team 2 skate is characterized by a classic, composite shell which was used earlier in USD VII. Its representative feature is definitely the width and universal fit. In connection with an innovative, fast lacing system, based on outer metal hooks preventing any pressure points the skate will be great accommodation for any bigger foot. The bottom of the shell in Gawds Team 2 is completely flat (no raised heel).

Providing the great value for money, thick Gawds Basic liner perfectly fills the capacious shell, while offering an optimal range of forward flex and great ankle stabilization. The cuffs made of TPU have a deep V-cut, that will make locking topside tricks much easier, especially when skating ledges.

The strongest part of the Gawds Team 2 skate is definitely its huge soul plate kit. Offering an impressive soul and negative space as well, the one-piece Gawds soul plate is made of wear-resistant Dupont Zytel material. Attached with UFS bolts, but the addition of extra holes for screws, allowing the possibility of fixing them to the shell, noticeably increasing the energy transfer.

The chassis of the Gawds Team 2 skates is a combination of the proven Kizer Fluid IV frames and Gawds 58 mm wheels equipped Wicked Abec 9 bearings. The frame made out of proven mix of special Nylon and carbon fibre, offers a unique combination allowing smooth and long grinds on all surfaces and obstacles. It is especially noticeable when skating modern skate parks with plenty of galvanized angle finishing, where softer, composite frames will not work just as good.

Gawds Team 2 skates are great alternative for hybrid pro Gawds models and the skaters who are looking for soft and light boots of simple construction. Available in typical white/black colour scheme can be a great basis for creating our dream setup.
