These motherfuking chinese are ruining the world!
Don’t think only abaut the copy of the skates..but think on the “originals”..all products their own business in china..vibralux denim..china..usd..china..
i’m pissed off of this disgusting situation.
WE have to forced to produce in our country, They will cost more?? better!!!!!!! 70% of people who will buy a pair of street rollerblade will buy for fashon , i don’t want fashon. You will buy only becouse YOU are fall in love and you have a true passion with the sport.
Chinese people don’t know a grain of sand out their phaleolitical civilization.
peace

I agree with some of the comments, but definetly these skate are for sure not so bad quality.
Why skates are so expensive for europe and USA markets? because of the extra exportation charges ( partly of course) and then cos of marketing made around these skates.

two products can totally be the same quality but solden at a different price only cos of segmentation reason. in Europe, you’re not going to buy a pair of brand new skate for less than 150 cos then most of bladers think that a lower price, it means cheap quality, cos not any opinion leaders supporting the brand etc …
so I think that in emerging countries as for many products, there are not so many strategies and segmentation.

you can find the marketed products from European and American companies but also the first price products which are same quality, just black… and simple.

these basics black skates don’t need to be marketed, they’re produced to answer to need of billions of new potential custommers on a growing market.
in europe and usa markets are already saturated (full) and this is why you need to create a brand image to get new customers. anyone can see the facts (roces=valo & cult=nimh) but these customers are going to look for the rest, they want to be able to identify to a brand and looking for an advantage in buying nimh instead of cults.

finally, I’m not sure at all, but maybe they are agreements between blading brand and chinese factory to produce these skates with these parts etc …

also to add to what I said, at least these guys making these skates have the balls to show that they are using old shells unlike the cover-up crew!

And to be brutally honest these look a darn sight better than some of the nimh’s and valo’s out there, due to there non-bulky simplicity.

Yes I second what JOEL, I would ahve written pretty much exactly the same thing but he has gone to the trouble of typing it out prior to me so yes he is exactly correct, if you call China a rip off then in actual fact your calling valo and nimh a rip off too as they are all using 80′s and 90′s shells on 2010 skates and slapping skins on them to try re-invent the wheel, wake up and take your skins of kids and please don’t be soooo dam nieve.
