OLD SCHOOL? give me a break. ‘97 is more on the newer skating movement. Old school is before the topsides came in big, pre-VG3 days.

Had to correct myself.. I meant to say closet* first of all.

Found the Salomon’s on a few sites. The were called the Mr. Wilsons.

The RB’s no idea what the model/style was called. Found an image on a foreign site.

rollerblading is gay… thanks for correcting xsjado. I still have the VERY first pair of soap that were released in my closed. Along with the first SENATE shirt (yes yes yes.. it say “DESTROY ALL GIRL” on the tag). Speaking of Soap shoes… some other OG’s might remember other companies tried to jump on the bandwagon. Rollerblade made something similar to soaps were it had 2 metal bars that rolled and Solomon went as far as putting what I can only describe as a soul in the middle of your foot. Those were the day.. I wonder if i still have a TEAM PARADISE magazine somewhere?

Two more sections followed the Rock & Roll ad but were accidentally(?) not included in some copies of Plastic Balance. To watch those two sections, follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g028QyueNZA
