Performance Skate for Speed and Jam Skaters
Designed to Move with You
The Bont Envy Suede is not just a great-looking skate. It's a purpose-built performance tool for elite roller speed and jam skaters who demand lightweight responsiveness, comfort, and top-tier components.
The carbon base boot is wrapped in black leather and black trim. The low-profile counter and carefully shaped arch area help lock your foot in place and maximize energy transfer without sacrificing mobility. The U-shape design hugs the heel and ankle, giving you that snug, secure fit elite skaters depend on.
All-Day Comfort, All-Out Power
Inside, the boot is heat moldable and shaped on a racing last. It molds to your foot like a glove, reducing pressure points and improving stability during crossovers, spins, and footwork. The lace cover system keeps everything sleek and snag-free, while the carbon counter and base deliver unmatched stiffness for instant response.
Zeus Carbon Plate: Lightweight Strength
The Zeus plate is made from 100% carbon fiber with a nanocell epoxy resin that keeps it extremely rigid but feather light. The action angle is set at 7 degrees, offering a balance between agility and power for both racing lines and technical jam moves.
Quick-release axles and high-grade urethane cushions give you flexibility and speed in your setup. It comes in multiple lengths (145mm to 175mm) so you can match your preferred stance or dance style.
Zeus Plate Benefits:
- Extreme stiffness for power transfer
- Ultra-lightweight for effortless acceleration
- High-end urethane cushions for responsive carving
- Quick axle removal for fast wheel changes
Royal Assassin Wheels: Built to Dominate
The Royal Assassin wheels complete the package, with a white on rainbow hub that pairs beautifully with the boot. But these wheels aren’t just for looks.
The urethane is an exclusive formula developed by urethane master Scott Corey. It’s gravity poured to eliminate air pockets and molded onto a precision-machined 6061 aluminum hub for maximum roll and rebound.
With a double-cut groove pattern, the wheels grip from the first push. The skater-informed lip shape provides corner control and stability at high speed or during spins and slides.
Royal Assassin Highlights:
- Aircraft-grade aluminum hub: strong and light
- Premium gravity-poured urethane: smooth roll, superior grip
- Unique lip and groove design: zero break-in period
- Matched black and blue aesthetic: sleek and aggressive
Bont Pro Bearings: Speed and Reliability
These aren’t your average bearings. The Bont Pro Bearings feature dual shields, one rubber and one nylon, for maximum dirt protection and minimal friction. Inside, they’re lubricated with high-grade German racing oil and use a precision 7-ball design for optimal load distribution.
Bearing Features:
- Removable dual shields for easy cleaning
- 7-ball construction for better speed and longevity
- High-performance oil for low rolling resistance
- Ready to skate straight from the box

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Envy Suede skate suitable for outdoor skating?
A: The components are performance-tuned for indoor speed and jam skating. For outdoor skating, we recommend using a softer outdoor-specific wheel.
Q: Can I heat mold the boot at home?
A: Yes. The Bont Envy boot is fully heat moldable. You can use a standard oven at low heat (follow the Bont molding guide) to achieve a custom fit. Always check the temperature carefully to avoid overheating.
Q: What is the difference between the Envy and other Bont speed skates?
A: The Envy Suede is a limited edition boot focused on style and elite-level performance. It shares performance traits with our top-end carbon boots but uses synthetic suede for added comfort and a unique look.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing skates by hand, inside out, is a method Bont retains and is exceptionally proud of. The manufacturing process is far more skill-intensive and time-consuming than other manufacturing processes. Perhaps, most importantly, this enables Bont skates to lead the industry in performance. It does, however, result in a higher production cost than mainstream skate construction methods.
We continue to develop and refine our manufacturing process to maintain the best delivery of our high-quality products. For example, processes such as the use of generic vacuum boxes for the curing of carbon have been replaced. Today, for carbon curing, we use methods such as pressure wrapping. Pressure wrapping provides four atmospheres of pressure rather than one atmosphere you find in traditional vacuum forming.
Inze Bont’s, the renowned skate designer, engineering, has allowed our production line to optimize the manufacturing of our handmade monocoque skates in the most time-efficient manner possible.
Our innovative manufacturing processes match our drive for design innovation. Lighter, Stronger, Faster.
Read our process for Last Design, Footbed, Liner, Anti-Stretch, Carbon Fiber, Upper, and more in the self-titled sections below.
Anti Stretch
Our proprietary Anti-Stretch material shares similar strength characteristics with Kevlar. We add this material between the outer layer and the skin, which assists prevent the boot from stretching.
To ensure the material does not move, we stitch it to the outer layer and bond it to the liner. In short, this Anti-Stretch material becomes a part of the boots’ structure. As a result, Bont boots do not stretch out as much as competitors’ boots.
