FUSION SERIES

Our Fusion Skates have microfiber uppers inlaid with Swarovski crystals for lightweight and stylish design. U-shaped cuff pattern and adjusted back height allows for maximum flexibility without losing support. Fit has been engineered to reduce pressure and provide better heel-lock and stability.

The Fusion Sole is constructed from lightweight nylon composite, which is torque resistant and waterproof. A rubber inlay provides non-slip blade mount and superior shock absorption.

Our flagship technology, we design boots to fit tight when cold. With Jackson's Heat Moldable Fit System, your Skate Technician uses heat to soften and mold the boots. As the boot cools, it retains the shape of your foot.
See your Authorized Jackson Ultima Retailer to perform Heat Molding - do not attempt on your own.

Custom fit in minutes!

The Fusion Series is built using Jackson's Elite last, which provides a wider toe box to reduce pressure, and narrower heels for better heel-lock and stability.

Boots are matched with the appropriate introductory Ultima blade in accordance with the skater's skill level.
