Inspired by the Xsjado skates, Eugen made some major updates to this 3rd generation Shadow. Included is riveted velcro on the cuff and liners that when combined with the re-released heel shock absorber make a perfect fit for the foot to reduce heel lift.  Eclipse Liners have new super comfy PU-cast tongues, with durable and stretchable ripstop black mesh uppers. A new shape to the ankle flap connects to the toe strap, creating a tighter and more stable fit. It then includes additional flex line stitching for flexibility in that area, and his name is printed from top to bottom. The toe strap is made out of a polyester seat belt webbing with EE.3 embossed on it.  Eugen chose Shadow 1.0 Cuffs for their stability, and combined them with Kizer UFS Fluid V Frames and 60mm 88A UHR Wheels. 
 
"Using Shadows is actually like coming full circle for my skating since Xsjado was such a huge part of my Childhood. They were the first skates I started to skate Street in, I did my first handrail in them, and I learned all the tech-dance switch-ups that I'm now known for - it all started with Xsjado skates. And now all these years later I can use them from a totally different perspective and do moves I would have never imagined back then. It feels nostalgic and refreshing at the same time to be back on my USD Shadows. l.  I chose a more iconic and traditional Xsjado inspired colorway with some dark greenish and orange details." - Text by Eugen Enin
