About Rollerblade

Rollerblade skates were invented in 1980, two hockey-playing Minnesota brothers discovered an in-line skate while rummaging through a sporting goods store and decided that this design would make an ideal off-season hockey-training tool. They refined the skate and began assembling the first Rollerblade skates in the basement of their parents' Minneapolis home. It was that same year, when they founded the company that would become Rollerblade.Today Rollerblade continues to advance in making the lightest and most comfortable skates out there. Rollerblades have become a synonymous word for inline skates and with that Rollerblade has made some of the best skates on the market. Each year eager fans wait in anticipation for the new Rollerblades to come out. Trying on the latest and greatest Rollerblades is a holiday for most inline skaters and it's this great brand following that makes Rollerblade one of the top inline skate manufacturers.
