✨ Under-Skin IMPERIUM NT

Developed in Canada to meet the demands of the global elite, the Under-Skin IMPERIUM NT represents the most advanced and lightweight version ever designed by Nagano. Designed for high-level athletes and worn by the Canadian National Team, it offers exceptional cut resistance, while being thinner, lighter, and more flexible than the DiamondDust model — all while maintaining the same international certifications.

Its ultrafine construction provides a second-skin feel, ideal for speed skaters seeking reliable protection without compromising mobility. The NT version also features a strap system under the skate, designed to keep the protection in place around the ankle, even at very high speeds.

Available exclusively in black, it embodies pure performance, without frills.
