Playlife Imperial Violet 80 — the renowned Powerslide Imperial reborn under the Playlife banner — the same storied urban freeride hardboot, now at a price that brings it to a broader audience. For beginner to intermediate skaters.
The stable, responsive GFRP hardboot and cuff offer the support and durability the Imperial is famous for, while the MYFIT Basic dual-fit liner and 10mm Imperial shock absorber deliver a comfortable, locked-in feel straight out of the box. The boot sits on the versatile 165mm 2-point mount (adjustable 8mm both ways), driving a 3D-cast Playlife Gamma aluminium frame with 4×80mm Playlife wheels on WICKED ABEC 9 bearings — high rebound and a smooth roll across sidewalks, bike lanes or bricks.

- EU 37–46 (dual sizes): Playlife Gamma ADC10 aluminium frame · 243mm wheelbase · 165mm mount · 4×80mm Playlife 85A (HR) · WICKED ABEC 9
A micro-adjustable Kizer Clipper top buckle, Crown ratchet 45° buckle and flat waxed laces work together for full-foot security — firmly planted whether you're cruising for hours or sprinting between curbs.
- Look: Classic white base with a vibrant violet colour scheme
- Best for: Urban skating, city cruising and fitness — slim to normal feet
- Skill level: Beginner to Intermediate
- Bonus: MYFIT dual-fit liner · Imperial 10mm shock absorber · urban brake compatible (sold separately) · 4mm hex tool included

📏Playlife Imperial 80 Size Chart
The Playlife Imperial 80 is sized in EU pairs — each size covers two EU sizes. Match your foot length to the pairing below.
How to measure: Place a sheet of paper against a wall on a hard floor. Stand on it with your heel against the wall and mark the tip of your longest toe. Measure the distance in centimetres — that cm value is your size.
| EU | MONDO (cm) | US Men | US Women | UK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 37 – 38 | 23.4 – 24.1 | 5.5 – 6 | 6.5 – 7 | 4.5 – 5 |
| 39 – 40 | 24.2 – 25.6 | 7 – 7.5 | 8 – 8.5 | 6 – 6.5 |
| 41 – 42 | 25.7 – 26.9 | 8 – 9 | 9 – 10 | 7 – 8 |
| 43 – 44 | 27.0 – 28.3 | 10 – 10.5 | — | 9 – 9.5 |
| 45 – 46 | 28.4 – 29.8 | 11 – 12 | — | 10 – 11 |
Width Guide
The Playlife Imperial 80 is built on a medium fit.
How to choose
These skates are sized in EU pairs — each size covers two EU sizes. Match your foot length below; on the boundary the padded liner gives a little room either way.
Check the fit
Toes should lie flat and just brush the front with the heel seated back. A recreational fit is comfortable rather than tight, and the liner packs out slightly with use.
✓ How it should feel
Snug, supported hold with toes lightly grazing the end and the heel seated — comfortable for a full session.
✗ How it should NOT feel
Toes crushed at the front or pressure across the foot means it is too small; a lifting heel or excess room means size down.
