/The Shoe
The Upper
The design of the S-QUAD was developed with Salomon Zeitoun, a French shoe designer who has notably worked at Louis Vuitton. We chose a high-top cut for optimal ankle support. Regarding the materials, we opted for 100% organic cotton with suede pieces, a strong and durable material.
Once the design of the Slades pair was approved in Paris, the shoe is produced in Portugal, in Felgueiras. We chose a European partner, an expert in footwear since 1992, for the assembly and construction.
The Sole
Just like the upper of the S-QUAD, the Slades sole is produced in Felgueiras. It is made from a soft and economical material: thermoplastic rubber. Its flexibility ensures the comfort of the pair, and its low cost allows us to offer you an affordable price. In a desire to promote local production, the mechanical parts around which the sole is injected are 100% French! Made of stainless steel, they are produced and assembled in France, just like the tools necessary for their manufacturing.
From design to production, the creation of our first model, S-QUAD, took more than eighteen months of work.

Mechanical Parts and The Chassis
The chassis (plate added above your plate to allow for the attachment of your shoe) is produced in France, using molds made in France. It is made of 100% recycled ABS plastic. In addition to its responsible and local production, it is a high-quality chassis. Resistant to impacts due to the durability of ABS plastic, a material commonly used in sports equipment, it is perfectly suited for quad roller skating. Furthermore, it is with this same supplier that the Slades release key is molded..
To create the mechanical parts that make up the rolling base of your Slades, we have once again relied on France, where part of the components is produced with tools made in France and the other part is laser-cut.
The Plate
In order to offer you the best possible deck at an affordable price, we searched extensively for the rare gem. After testing numerous decks, we found our supplier in China. He was able to adapt his standard deck to best suit the Slades system. The Slades deck is made from polypropylene, an ultra-durable, lightweight, and recyclable material. The wheels and bearings also come from China.
