VANILLA Tuxedo

The Tuxedo is primarily designed for jam and speed skating. Its 5-degree action plate and lightweight construction are optimized for the agility and responsiveness required for rhythm skating and quick maneuvers.

The 5-degree action provides a more stable, predictable feel compared to plates with higher action angles. It offers a solid base that helps you maintain control during high-speed movements and sharp turns without feeling overly twitchy.

The VNLA Tuxedo is versatile and includes both options. You can set it up with the included jam plugs for a classic, streamlined look, or install adjustable toe stops if you prefer the added security of a brake.

The boot is constructed from scuff-resistant leather and features a fully stitched rubber outsole. This combination is designed to handle the frequent impacts and friction common in jam skating, ensuring the boot maintains its structure and appearance over time.

Yes, ABEC-9 bearings are high-precision components that offer a very smooth, consistent roll. While they are often associated with advanced skaters, beginners will appreciate the reduced effort required to maintain momentum.
