I was shopping powerslide's site and noticed they upgraded their Next boots. The new features sound awesome! Damn, I just bought new next skates. I wish I had known these were coming!
Also these skates look DOOOOPE!
From their site:
NEW! The Next 2.0 - New look, improved fit & performance
For 2026 the Next boot range has received some major updates, you spoke and we listened, but this is much more than just a facelift. We kept the visual DNA of the classic Next aesthetic, but completely reworked the inside of the shell giving more room in the toe box, instep, bridge and ankle plus also adding flex cuts around the eyelets. The overall result is the Next 2.0 shell:
* A wider fit
* An improved instep
* A better flex and wrap
The reworked fit provides a more comfortable, confidence-inspiring ride. The toe area and ankle area are significantly wider, giving your feet more natural room and reducing pressure points—especially on longer skate sessions. To improve wrap and comfort, we also added flex cuts between the eyelets, allowing the shell to adapt better for a more secure, even closure.
All Next skates produced for the 2026 season will already benefit from this major upgrade.
