Performance and Design
The Jackson Fusion 2800 is engineered for intermediate skaters tackling axels and early double jumps, with a support rating of 65 ensuring the stability 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 diverse foot shapes, including flat feet. The lightweight Fusion Sole, made from nylon composite, resists torque and includes a rubber inlay for secure blade mounting and shock absorption, facilitating smoother landings and precise edge work.
The microfiber upper, reinforced with Duraguard protection, withstands blade contact while remaining flexible and durable, preserving the boot’s pristine condition. The innovative offset hooks and extra instep wrap enhance ankle stability, while the Swarovski crystals lend a stylish flair, making the Fusion 2800 a standout choice for competitive and recreational skaters.
Comfort and Fit
Comfort is central to the Fusion 2800’s design. The Jackson Wrap System, with its additional instep wrap and offset hooks, locks the foot and ankle in place, minimizing movement and boosting control. The non-abrasive microfiber lining, treated with anti-bacterial properties, promotes breathability and moisture-wicking, keeping feet fresh during extended practice. Memory foam padding provides a cushioned, personalized fit, while the softened collar reduces Achilles tendon irritation.
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 Fusion 2800 features a manageable break-in period, thanks to its heat-moldable materials and ergonomic construction. The initial molding process ensures a quick adaptation, with the firm support becoming comfortable over time. The microfiber upper and reinforced sole with aluminum plates offer durability, resisting wear and tear from regular training, while the waterproof Fusion Sole maintains structural integrity.
Lacing System
The Fusion 2800 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 Fusion 2800 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, 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.
