Not my style.
It’s a huge velcro starp on top.
Are the side holes for ventalation? they’re huge!
Those look like the Rob Thompson huge soul plates but with no groove, kind of like the Nihms.
rollerblade got weird, velcro straps on the top instead of a buckle, and buckels in the ankle part.
How big are the soul plates? How much gridning space?

R B is so week and its real ugly
April 20th, 2009 at 9:03 am
the buckle was taken off. good choice, i could see that buckle lasting only a few skate sessions before snapping off. they might not be that bad. i replaced the buckle on my remz with the velcro strap and it works fine

OH MY GOD fucking awesomeeee, I want them right now!
Not really.
April 20th, 2009 at 12:26 pm

the most ugly skates i have ever seen!
April 20th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
way better than what they were as protos… but still a little ugly. glad to see that buckle gone.

Looks can be deceiving. Either Tom Hyser is a genius or the dumbest m*th*f*cka on the planet. I’mma go with the latter.

ANIMAL STYLE!!!!!!!!!!
April 20th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
again!?
and… again?!
April 20th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
The skates don´t look that bad…but who the hell allowed his niece to design the soulplate-graphics???
April 20th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
fuck no, TRS was a ICON of stylish skates
and thiz skates looks like junior old style remedyz mixed with salomon AF :)
April 20th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
why build a skate like that, who will buy that.. lol …. carbons, icons, remz, valo, nimh or TRS lol, gos who designed these skate, love the non replaceable cuff, very 96
April 20th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
TRS, it seems, has not yet realized that it’s time to evolve. Xsjado evolved, Razors evoloved with the SL, and Deshi did with the Carbons.. But TRS is stuck in the past: they make ugly skates that look like every other rollerblade on the planet.
I really hope they change their style. Because no one will want to buy these skates.
April 20th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
im the only person who whana skate them? :S
April 20th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
3M3M … yes you are … nobody should skate this piece of shit this is a regress for our sport sry rollerblade
April 20th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
seem to be strong / solid skate.
April 20th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
simple, solid, nice colours, dont see anything bad about them, they look really good
April 20th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Devolution if you ask me.. Get a shitty rec boot and stick some home made plastic things on the side? Brilliant. Reminds me of my old Bauers that i made into aggro skates..
Brands should be going in the way of Deshi, Xsjados and even the new Razors mold.. pushing skating along, not digging up old ideas.
April 20th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
don’t forget valo and nimh men !! they have create a particular look!
But true, RB don’t evolve in the right sense ,that what i think and why i ll never buy those skates.
April 20th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
stupid… have you tried them? i havent, i dont love how they look but i dont give a shit, if they are good to skate in then thats enough. if they skate bad then i will criticise them. are we skating or just posing? or is it that they don’t look good in your carefully designed dress? fukin faggots
April 20th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
I love how all the people who run their cock suckers about these skates are the ones who have never skated them… You are bashing it for it’s mere looks? How childish of you. I think skating in butt hugger pants makes a guy look like a transvestite(sp) but that doesn’t keep me from watching Broskow or hundreds of other trend following rollerbladers, because frankly if their skating is sick it’s sick and I will watch it for the SKATING!!! Just like all you haters should skate a skate for the feel of it not it’s looks. No wonder there are so many of you lame asses who can barely jump on a p-rail because you are too worried about how you and your skates look rather than HOW you skate. I dunno maybe I am just older than all you children when you get out of high school and get into the real world you will understand. Until then continue to show more hatred and be more superficial about all aspects of the sport you claim to love and eventually we can all hate each other as much as skateboarders hate us. That superficial high school bullshit is what is really regressing our sport not the skates so pull your heads out of your asses and just fuckin skate you pansie asses. Oh and btw you must hate Valo and Nihm too because they used existing molds of old school shells to make their skates right? Just added different soul plates and skins so please learn your history of rollerblading before you preach.
April 20th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
rb only get respect from the past.
they used to have good skates.
they used to have a good team.
they used to have big image.
now they got nothing but SHIT.
April 20th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
They kinda make sense to me. If you think about it, rec and speed skates have way more comfort and better fit than our skates as it is these skates that have the most research and development put into them. They are the skates that make all the money. It makes sense to use a rec skate, or in the case of deshi, base it on a speed skate (that have been using carbon fiber and leather boots for ages now incidentally) and turn them into aggressive skates.
So they may not be the best looking skate, but I’m sure they’ll skate nice, be comfortable and fit better than any mold Razors have made since the original cult models, which happened to be based on rec skates themselves (thats just an opinion, I haven’t tried the SL models. Didn’t get on too well with gens).
There’s no point in sticking your nose up at ideas that come from outside your little part of skating if they’re going to benefit us is there?
April 20th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
They look like they could be bought at walmart.
April 20th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
In my defense I should say that Iused to use rollers with hard boot (I’ve used to use rollerblade, roces… etc…) Never get used to it…
The only skate (hard boot) I’ve used, that was enough comfortable to skate them for a whole day, was the Razor shima 2 and 3…
But I like more the soft boot kind of skate (K2 Fatty Pro, Remz even Xsajado even this skate desn’t like me very much)…
But this skate looks, as I said, like a fitness skate ported to aggressive… Just look at the link I left first, it’s the same boot but made aggressive…
I don’t think I can like it…
PD: Sorry for the bad english…

i know you meant that as an insult but surely that is what we want?! We should want skates on the market that could sell in places like that……
About the skates though i think that they skate AMAZING so all of you lot that are saying you will never buy them your just posing cunts. Also though i do think that they look good without the buckle. Think im gonna get myself a paid when they come out here.

rollerblade need to put more replaceable parts on their skates and design a new buckle
April 20th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
the simpler the skate, the better. why unnecessary replaceble parts?
April 20th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
SHIT..UGLY,,SUCK.
April 20th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
without the buckle they look awesome maybe some day i ll give them a try! witout the buckle how are they to skate??! if someone dosent like the velcrostrap just but some razors or usd buckles on them!
April 20th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
because parts will break and you could replace them and save money
April 20th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
i like them an seeing them in real life i think they look even better an they are soo light … not as light as the carbons but are cheaper an heard they skate really well!
April 20th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
introduction skates?
April 21st, 2009 at 12:18 am
Ive heard from those who actually use them that they skate better and flex better and all that than the old trs, they just lack on looks. But truthfully there arent many skates out there that i like 100% lookwise besides maybe classic thrones with sifika 714′s. I still feel they shouldve left the midsoul and soul parts from the older skates on there, they had the right idea with that big ass groove in the pt 8. probably introduction skates like ^ said
April 21st, 2009 at 12:46 am
these skate are awesome !!!! 6 of my friends already skate them and they told me they skate well !!
they feet perfect to the foot with many buckles and the strap seems very solid !!
important point also ==> for girls the skate is avaible in size 36-37 EU it means girls got a skate for their lil’ feet !!
cuff is replacable just need to break the stuff and replace with other one you can screw !! i like too much xsjado to leave them but for sure I’ll try these new solos soon !!!
and white ones I saw at winterclash were very nice too !!
April 21st, 2009 at 3:24 am
i think their sick, but only because i skated the OG rollerblades back in the day
April 21st, 2009 at 5:11 am
i skate these and i love them.
the buckle, which everyone hates, is the best part of the damn skate. i can loosen the cuff a little more and still have my foot secured in the boot without any heel lift.
the frame base practically rides on your foot making the skate super responsive.
the materials used and craftsmanship of the skate is remarkable!
most of the negative comments on here are egotistically based. rollerblade made something that looks like exactly what it is…a fucking inline skate! not something that looks like every wood pushers shoes at my local park. grow up.
April 21st, 2009 at 6:24 am
agree w/ carlos, CrimZonLSx and hoax34
April 21st, 2009 at 7:14 am
ok ive tried these out for a month and the whole back peice of the soul plate came off right b4 bitter cold. they feel like solamons streight up and have the support of a recreational skate. think about it. but they alide so amazing its not funny.
April 21st, 2009 at 7:18 am
Rollerblade should have kept to what they were doing 2 years ago. At least they were getting respect for getting kids into rollerblading.
April 21st, 2009 at 9:07 am
These skates are really good!
Like the shockabsorber, Liner, Flex and speed when grinding!
Compared to the previous TRS Rollerblade skates really made big innovations. Keep in mind this is the first one of the new line. ACan’t wait for the 010 one’s!
Love’m!
April 21st, 2009 at 1:20 pm
same said everyone when xsjados came out :) they dont look that bad
April 21st, 2009 at 2:03 pm
oh no…yikes!
April 21st, 2009 at 2:49 pm
not bad…
bring back TRS access but with modifications that would be amazing.
April 21st, 2009 at 7:42 pm
@TRS SOLO:
LOL!
April 21st, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Damn they made a pretty good effort on the set up but shit, they still fucking ugly no matter the age you are “long speech for none man” (that’s how I call people who write too much)!!
The last time I saw rollerblade making good looking skates was….
in 1999!! haha
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:03 am
Everybody say this skate are ugly..you need stylish skate to skate good?for you is the skate make the rider?
stop saying shit just try before ask.I got this skate and i’m skating since 93 and i could say they are one of the 3 better skate i have and i have skate every brand except this fucking carbon for the moment.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:10 am
damm look at them, they don’t even have a cuff screw!!! this is horrible! Access and the old broskows were cool, looked like shoes, now this looks like stupid recreational or speed boots, its just terrible! rollerblade not only fired julian bah, as it is totally going back in time, how can they make something like this? my goshh… I feel sorry for rollerblade…
