There are two versions of the Kevin Gillan psirus but they are both pretty much the same skate. Both of the skates come with:
Frame .......Senate
Wheels ......Senate Kevin Gillan Pro 55 mm / 88a
Bearings ....USD ABEC 5
The 2000 model is Black and Grey with Red highlights which looks pretty amazing. The new 2001 model is a bit plainer with an all grey boot and black highlights but they do come with a puffy toungue so you can style them out a bit more.
All psirus skate about the same and these cost around £200 depending on how good your local shop is. The psirus boots look really nice and they are pretty good to skate on. The liners are really comfortable but the stiching isn't that good in them so don't but them too small because you will rip them to shreads putting your feet in. I don't really rate the senate frames that highly anymore, they are pretty quick but they only come in black. These skates would be a lot nicer with a set of grey 50/50 frames and I think they would probably skate a lot better.
The wheel and bearing combo is really good. The skates feel really fast on your feet and stay that way for a long time. The wheels are a nice ride on street and ramp and the spiked core helps prevent the old problem of your core falling out your wheels.
All in all these skates are pretty good but to be honest if I bought some I'd style them out with some red or grey 50/50 frames and they would be so cool, all psirus are the same really, its all down to the colour of the skates you want on your feet.
