Jackson Men's Nova Figure Skating Skate

The Jackson Men's Nova is a soft-boot recreational figure skate built for boys and men who are just getting started on the ice, from first lessons through early recreational freestyle. Part of Jackson's Softec program, it delivers real warmth, comfort, and support without the stiffness or lengthy break-in of a traditional leather boot. Because it ships with an Ultima Mark II blade already mounted and factory-sharpened, it is a genuine complete package: open the box, guard the blades, and skate. For a beginner who wants dependable gear that fits right away and does not fight back, this is one of the easiest ways onto the ice.

A supportive soft boot made to skate right away

The Nova is engineered around comfort and durability rather than the deep stiffness elite jumping demands. Its upper is a durable, textured, moisture-resistant polyurethane that shrugs off rink slush and wipes clean, while the Softec construction wraps your foot in padded, lightweight support that holds your ankle steady for stroking, gliding, and basic edges. There is no heat-molding step and no painful break-in period; the soft-boot design conforms to your foot from the first session, so beginners spend their time learning rather than nursing blisters. A unique, stylish molded outsole carries the blade and keeps the whole skate light underfoot.

The Ultima Mark II blade, matched to the level

Mounted to the sole is the Ultima Mark II, Jackson's all-purpose, high-quality chrome blade built specifically for beginner and entry-level skating. It is the right blade for this boot: forgiving and stable for learning forward and backward stroking, crossovers, and first spins, with a toe pick sized for basic freestyle rather than the deep, aggressive picks that advanced jumpers need. Buying it as a set means the blade is already correctly positioned and sharpened at the factory, so your edges bite predictably from day one.

Fit, warmth, and everyday comfort

Inside, a breathable nylon lining keeps your foot warm at the rink and resists odor session after session, and the cushioned soft-boot padding gives a plush, break-in-free fit. The Nova comes in a medium width across full sizes 6 through 13, suiting an average-width foot; as with any skate, have it fitted snugly so your heel stays locked and your toes just brush the end.

The complete-package advantage

Every pair arrives factory-mounted and factory-sharpened, ready to skate out of the box with no separate blade purchase, mounting fee, or shop visit. For a beginner or recreational freestyle skater, that means less cost, less hassle, and a matched boot-and-blade combination you can trust the moment you step on the ice.
