 Valo TV Thee Strange White Skates“Thee Strange” is a crew consisting of Amir Amadi, Matt Langel, Keith Brierley, Dean Coward, Adam Brierley,  Dylan Davis, Matt Luda, Brandon Smith, and Alex Broskow.
They’ve dropped a bunch of amazing content repping the Valo Brand.

 This is their second collaboration skate with Valo. Standard T.V. skin in a cool and unique color way that separates them from the regular TV skate line. These new Strange skates come in a cool white and black setup. Perfect to skate right out of the box or ready for some customization. Valo skates are known for being ruggedly built and extremely strong feeling skates. Made with high quality parts these Strange skates are no exception. Ready to shred right out of the box no part swapping necessary.

 The Frame: Valo Team Frame

 Some skaters prefer to switch out their stock frames as soon as they get a new pair of skates or get a boot only. These Valo team frames are some of the best stock skate frames on the market and are definitely worth a try. Their one of the more solid frames out right now with extremely thick sidewalls, a perfect groove and reinforced design. These fames slide great and come with beveled sidewalls to reduce friction and keep those bolts covered nicely while grinding. This frame is great for both anti-rocker and flat-rocker setups.

The Wheels: Valo 58mm 88a Team Wheels


 These skates come setup with Valo 58mm 88a Team wheels. A lot of skates come with some pretty poorly made generic wheels; however, these Valo Team wheels are actually pretty good for a stock wheel. The 58mm size is perfect for street and park skating and 88a hardness will have you rolling smooth.

The Anti-Rockers: Valo 42mm 101a Anti-Rockers

These super hard plastic anti-rockers are built to withstand the abuse of the everyday streets, and provide solid locking capabilities while doing groove tricks. These anti-rockers are equipped with ABEC 1 bearings which will provide you with rolling capabilities, which a lot of other anti-rockers usually don’t have.

The Liners: Valo TV Thee Strange White Liner
These liners have improved stitching compared to the old models, heel cup is wider and now made of a more durable fabric material. Neoprene toe will reduce pressure on your toes and form to your foot. These are pretty much the ideal liner for Valos, not super thick, not super thin, the perfect amount of padding for these skates.

  The Soulplates: Valo 2 Piece White Soul Plates

These are Valo’s New 2 Piece Soul Plates first introduced a few years ago. They went with a 2 piece system this time, which enabled them to increased the thickness of the soulplate, increasing durability. They are now a two piece system, so you can swap them out to give your skate a cool custom look. These are made out of Polyamide Nylon with infused Glass Fiber to increase grinding speed and strength. Hands down some of the longest lasting souls on the market. Most of the time the soulplates last just about as long as the skates. Beefy design to hold up to tough street skating.
