Jackson Nova Figure Skating Skate

The Jackson Softec Nova is a soft-boot recreational skate built for beginners and developing freestyle skaters who want real comfort and dependable support from the very first lacing. It pairs a lightweight, cushioned Softec upper with a factory-mounted, factory-sharpened Ultima Mark II blade, so it arrives as a genuine complete package rather than a boot-and-blade you have to assemble. If you are starting lessons, skating public sessions, or working on your first freestyle basics, this is a ready-to-skate setup that lets you spend your ice time learning instead of fussing with gear. Confident, comfortable, and easy to own from day one.

A supportive, cushioned soft boot

The Nova's upper is a durable, textured, moisture-resistant polyurethane that is molded to cradle your foot and hold your ankle steady through glides, crossovers, and early edges. That molded soft-boot construction is the whole point of the Softec line: it delivers reassuring lateral support for a recreational skater while staying light and forgiving underfoot. A stylish molded outsole carries the blade, and because the boot is soft and pre-shaped, there is no lengthy heat-mold or break-in ritual to endure. You get stability where you need it and comfort everywhere else, straight out of the box.

The Ultima Mark II blade

Every Nova ships with the Ultima Mark II, an entry-level figure blade chosen specifically for skaters at this stage. Its generous, forgiving rocker gives you a stable, planted feel that makes balancing, stroking, and stopping far less intimidating, while a modest, gentle toe pick keeps you from catching as you learn to push and glide. That is exactly the right match for a beginner and early-freestyle skater, and buying it factory-mounted to the boot means the blade is already aligned and centered by Jackson, saving you a fitting step.

Fit, comfort, and break-in

Inside, a breathable, odor-resistant nylon lining keeps your foot cool and comfortable through long sessions and lessons. The soft-boot build flexes with your foot rather than fighting it, so comfort comes immediately without a punishing break-in period. The Nova is offered in a Medium width across full sizes 4.0 through 10.0, making it an easy, accommodating fit for a wide range of developing skaters.

The complete-package advantage

Because the Mark II arrives factory-mounted and factory-sharpened, your Nova is ready to skate the moment you unbox it. There is no separate blade purchase, no mounting appointment, and no first sharpening to schedule. For a beginner or recreational freestyle skater, that means great value and one less thing to worry about, so you can lace up and get straight onto the ice.
