I use Chaya airbrush for outdoor skating, preferably on sidewalks. But I use them on rougher floors If I want to roll at a slower pace. That said, stick around to the end as I will be giving my unbiased review on the Chaya airbrush roller skates. Let’s dive in!

Chaya Airbrush Roller Skates

The Chaya airbrush roller skates are party skates built with agility and flexibility. It has the Chaya Aja plate made from fiberglass, which is strong enough to withstand a certain weight of the body. When I go roller skating I feel safe doing the strut walk or any kind of trick because it gives me that balance I need. 

However, because it’s a mid-cut boot, I would advise that you put on full-body protective gear to protect yourself from harm or injury. This is because you’re likely to fall on your back if you’re not careful enough and that could be very dangerous. 

Chayas would be great for people with wide feet because of the comfort it gives. It also comes with a ground block and a toe stop attached. These skates are perfect for beginners, I’ll say it’s a full package.

Key Features of Chaya Airbrush Skates

Chaya airbrush skates are packed with amazing features but I’ll be discussing the key features that make them stand out from the others:

Chaya 78A, 39-59mm Wheels

Chaya airbrush has a standard wheel thickness of 78A which is ideal for outdoor skating. They are smooth, soft, and grippy. So you’ll have some kind of balance as you roll. In terms of comfort, I would give it to the Chaya airbrush, they’re top-notch in that area.

These wheels are made in sizes 39mm-59mm, so you can get the right size for your skates. And if you’d like to ride at a high or lower height you’ll get a variety of options to choose from. As outdoor wheels, they were perfect for cruising and low-impact skating. But when I tried using them for park skating it wasn’t as smooth because they were too soft for that.

Chaya Aja Plate

Chaya airbrush skates have a lightweight Aja plate made from fiberglass-reinforced nylon. Despite being lightweight it’s durable and suitable for different kinds of skating boots. I felt safe skating on this one because it could handle some weight as I rolled. 

To explain this better I found a YouTube video where Chaya explained the different types of plates they had. You can see how lightweight they are and the quality they are made in.

EVA Insole

EVA is short for ethylene vinyl acetate. In addition to having a plate made out of fiberglass, Chaya’s boots have a rubbery sole and are made of soft material which contributes to your comfort as you skate. 

The EVA insole makes these boots friendly to your feet and if it’s comfortable it means more time to skate away. This foam-based material acts as a shock absorber that protects your feet from impact as your skate. Asides from protecting your feet and ligament as you skate, the EVA insole is durable and can resist high temperatures.

I could feel the ease it gave to my feet as I skated through bumps and rocky surfaces. This makes the Chaya airbrush skates ideal for outdoor skating but like I said it should be more of low-impact skating.

Torsion Bar

Chaya airbrush roller skates also have a torsion bar which is great for transmitting rotational force or in simple words, is used for the transfer of power with each stride. The torsion bar system adds strength and stability to your skates.

Pros of the Chaya Airbrush 

The following pros make Chaya Airbrush standout:

  • It comes at a unique price and offers value for money
  • It is built with an exceptional composite plate feature that adds to the rigidity of the boots
  • It has a stiff yet lightweight sole that supports flexibility and eases the feet.
  • It is stylish
  • It has grippy wheels that support stamina during outdoor skating
  • It is sturdy
  • It is comfortable
  • Much lower than other boots
  • They come with inbuilt toe stops
  • They are well padded around the ankle region

Cons of the Chaya Airbrush

The following are the down points of the Chaya airbrush skates:

  • It provides lesser ankle support
  • Adjustable toe stops don’t have a firm grip
  • It is not ideal for park skating or any high-impact skating.
  • It cannot be used for complex roller skating tricks
  • The wheels are a little too thin.
  • It’s hard finding a replacement for the cushions when they wear out

My Thoughts On Chaya Airbrush Skates

Chaya Airbrush skates are perfect for low-impact skating. I took them for a spin and they did amazingly well. They had the speed I needed and I was comfortable doing some simple tricks. However, I was careful because these skates come with nylon plates which are not as rigid as metals so I couldn’t do intense skating tricks. 

As I mentioned as its pro, Chaya skates do a good job providing the right ankle support because it’s well padded. And I also need to say, they are so sturdy. Its wheels were also great and grippy but I felt they were too thin because mine came with 78A wheels.

So I changed that to 82A wheels, plus I could also use them for indoor skating when I changed which was a win-win for me. Also, I was blown away by the comfort it gave, which stood out for me.

Finally, I think you should know that they come with non-adjustable toe stops but if you don’t mind they are actually not a problem like they weren’t for me. If you can master roller skating with adjustable toe stops that should definitely not be a problem.

Finally

Chaya Airbrush Skates are the perfect wheel roller skates who like to make a statement wherever they go. Its flashy color gives a party vibe and is very comfortable on the feet. They also make one of the best beginner skates. 

I would advise you to use protective gear if you’re not used to skating with mid-cut boots. Asides from that, it’s the perfect roller skating boot for low-impact outdoor skating.
