Performance and Design
The Jackson Premiere 2850 is engineered for intermediate skaters tackling axels and beginner double jumps, with a support rating of 65 providing the strong support needed for these maneuvers. Built on Jackson’s Elite Performance Last, it features a wider toe box for comfort and a narrower heel for a competitive fit, accommodating various foot shapes, including flat feet. The tan Fusion Sole, made from torque-resistant nylon composite, includes a rubber inlay for secure blade mounting and superior shock absorption, ensuring smoother landings and precise edge work.
The durable leather upper, known for its remarkable flexibility, versatility, and strength, is reinforced with heat-moldable material and Duraguard protection, resisting blade contact while maintaining a polished look. The inlaid Swarovski crystals add a stylish flair, making the Premiere 2850 a standout choice for competitive skaters.
Comfort and Fit
Comfort is a priority in the Premiere 2850’s design. The extended wrap over the instep secures the foot for a better fit and enhanced security, while the non-abrasive microfiber lining, treated for breathability, keeps feet comfortable and irritation-free. Memory foam padding provides a cushioned, personalized fit, and the rolled lining eliminates pressure and irritation on tendons above the ankles. The softened collar further reduces Achilles tendon discomfort.
The Heat Moldable Fit System allows the boot to be shaped to the skater’s foot using heat, offering a custom fit in minutes when performed by an authorized technician. This reduces break-in time and accommodates various foot profiles, enhancing overall comfort and performance on the ice.
Break-In and Durability
The Premiere 2850 features a manageable break-in period, thanks to its heat-moldable materials and ergonomic design. The initial molding process ensures a quick adaptation, with the strong support becoming comfortable over time. The durable leather upper, reinforced heel with aluminum plates, and tan Fusion Sole eliminate sole separation and resist wear and tear from regular training, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Lacing System
The Premiere 2850 includes a lacing system with offset hooks and strategically placed eyelets, optimizing fit and stability around the ankle. This design ensures a secure hold while allowing flexibility for spins and jumps. Jackson recommends lacing tighter across the instep for support and slightly looser near the top for comfort and range of motion.
Suitability and Training Level
With a support rating of 65, the Jackson Premiere 2850 is designed for intermediate skaters performing axels and beginner double jumps, suitable for training 15 to 20 hours per week. It excels in freestyle, synchronized skating, and inline figure skating, offering a balance of firmness and flexibility to prevent “overbooting.” Available in white (with inlaid Swarovski crystals for women’s and girls’ models), in Regular (A/B) and Wide (C/D) widths, and sizes from 3 to 10 for women, it accommodates a range of foot shapes for a secure, comfortable fit.
