When the first models of Nimhs hit to polish shops I knew I had to check them out and test what such legends like Jon Elliot and Brian Shima had created. As it turned out I didn't have to wait long to try them on.
The first model I rode were Shima v.2 pro model, yet I couldn't get round to them too much due to injury which put me away for the whole season. After nine months of rehabilitation I've just come back to blading and immediately I got new Nimh Shamans, which I will focus on my review.
First what came to my mind after opening the box – they look mad good in real life. As always opinions will be different yet for me the newest design of Nimhs really stands out – original and daring orange color (I got orange GC frames as well) will definitely catch your attention. The skin itself looks durable and so far I haven`t had any problems with ripping it off or anything like that.
Another important feature in this model is a redesigned soulplate. Comparing to the first editions now it is a lot slimmer and finally there is pre-grooved royale area so you can hit the street straight away – I guess not only me dislike the idea of making your own groove. The soulplates are not the biggest out there but I don`t have any problems with soul as well as inside tricks. The groove is in the right position and it`s not too deep – royale and torq tricks locked flawlessly.
Comfort. Well if you like super soft skates with pumped padded liners like Jugs, you won't have love for Nimhs. Skates are more stiff than let's say Xsjados or Razors yet such solution have also its followers. The liner itself looks solid, it has a nice strap holding the tongue in the right position. Before I switched to Nimhs I had skated Valos which are very similar as far as flexibility and general fit is considered – the change was smooth easy. The big con is lack of anti-shock yet people who choose Nimhs or Valos have to just cope with it!

Mi akurat w tych rolkach nie leży liner. Sztywny i bardzo obciera ;(.
