Lawrence Ingraham Reviews the Razors Cult Shima 1 Retro

See this social icon list in the original post

“These are the Razors Shima 1 Retro. They retail for around $300 US. Razors released the original Shima skate in 2001, and these are an updated tribute 20 years later. They’re built on the same Cult shell with the same iconic lacing system. The liners are based on the Reign V3HT but feature a large SHIMA embroidered on the cuff, just like the originals. They come stock with Ground Control Featherlight 3 frames with flat 60mm Ground Control wheels, and ABEC 5 bearings. What makes the Shima unique is the lacing system. Typically plastic shell boots are a single hard material around the lacing area, making it difficult to tighten. The Shima lacing system is flexible and sucks your foot into the boot when tightened, which is a big improvement.” - Lawrence Ingraham
