The Playlife Imperial 80 Violet is a hardboot inline skate and is a good inline skate for beginners
The Playlife Imperial series
The Imperial series used to be branded as a Powerslide model, but is now branded as a Playlife model. (Playlife is a brand that is under Powerslide's umbrella.)
The Imperial skates have a robust hardboot construction, offering unparalleled support and durability, making it ideal for both, beginners and skate veterans.
With its vibrant violet color scheme and the classic white base, the Imperial 80 from Playlife is addressed to female skaters or skaters with a slim to medium foot shape.
Equipped with a lightweight but rigid aluminum frame, and Playlife 80mm wheels at 85A hardness, the Imperial 80 Violet offers a solid 4-wheel skate setup. The skate strikes an optimal balance between grip and speed, facilitating smooth rides across both smooth and rough surfaces. This wheel hardness is specifically selected to offer a versatile skating experience, enabling quick maneuvers, and efficient power transfer.
Keep in mind that the inline skate is equipped with
Wicked ABEC 7 bearings, contrary to what some skate websites tell (that it would be
Wicked ABEC 9 bearings).
