those prototypes look sick. gota get me some of them!
February 5th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
They need to put a real buckle on there instead of the bullshit velcro strap. Xsjado strap replacement kits are proof that velcro is a bad Idea.
February 5th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
cool with the oldschool look skate, they remind me alot of my first skate, that was by rollerblade
February 5th, 2009 at 12:47 pm

cos only these tricks on their posters.
white shell looks good
February 5th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
@ ADR: Nothing wrong with those tricks…done correctly they are packed with steeze…

Is rollernews this fucking stupid? These skates are up for sale, they aren’t prototypes. Great reporting on the “news” guys, these skates have had soooo many pictures before this, and I’m pretty sure that you guys posted them too. Get your shit together.

February 5th, 2009 at 1:27 pm

February 5th, 2009 at 1:40 pm

February 5th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
the first 3 will probably be up for sale… but did u not see the white ones at the bottom? i think theyd be nice after being customed a little.
February 5th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Que patins feiooo
February 5th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
So the ones one the bottom are out already…?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
this is a big shit! resign their designers.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
can confirm that the last picture shows the 2010 version of the solo skate;
looks very good in real life with this piece of skin and is a bit thicker…
February 5th, 2009 at 3:58 pm

February 5th, 2009 at 4:10 pm

February 5th, 2009 at 4:18 pm

February 5th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Não Curti.
February 5th, 2009 at 5:08 pm

February 5th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
HAHA Rob g’s face man! Look at his freakin face! he looks like a lizard/monkey about to be put in a blender.
Anyways happy to see Seizemore getting some well earned recognition. Peace
P.S I love rob g’s skating
February 5th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Get the hell away in front of y’all pc’s and go skate… people constantly in the need of commenting on shit get the fuck out discuss it with you friends instead of people you don’t even know… get a fucking life you internet wank lords… Always needing to comment I HATE IT!!
February 5th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
johnny thomas proving there that he is a complete dickhead!
haha
February 5th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
yes there is a diference…
The era maybe is the cheaper beacause os the frame ( is the old one), and have no V cut…
the stilo and tribe, are the same, in diferent collors with v cut and the new frame…
February 5th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
3 names >> same shit different colors!!!
I DON’T SUPORT ROLLERBLADE BECOUSE 2-4 YEARS AGO THE NEW ROLLERBLADE BOSS DECIDED TO STOP PRODUCING AGRESSIVE SKATES BECOUSE ITS NOT COMERCIAL!!!(NO MONEY)!!! BROSKOW, FARMER, MORALES &CO STOPED SKATING 4 RB! THEY HADE ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS AND THAY THROW IT AWAY 4 MONEY!!
RB DIED A COUPPLE YEARS AGO AND FOR ME ITS STILL DEAD!!
DON’T BUY ROLLERBLADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 5th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
P.S. BEFORE I BUY RB SKATES I WILL BUY ALKEMY OR ANARCHY!!!!!!
February 5th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
people don’t know understand they must appreciate a brand like rollerblade regardless if you think the skate’s shitty. this is the same reason brands like senate, sixwonsix, hyper, etc get shown no love. my older brother taught me how to skate and his first pair were RB lightnings. i support the old skool and for all you know those things might skate amazing
franky and farmer left rb because they weren’t getting paid as much as broskow and they felt they weren’t marketed as well. broskow straight up got fired cuz he asked for 4 pro skates, and at that time rollerblade couldn’t afford to have a shima-esque skater with 2 pro boots every year.
in conclusion. rob g is the fucking man and those prototypes look tasty.
February 5th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Is it just me or did trs start looking like solomons? and god everyone knows those blow. why people?
February 5th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
salomons were the most comfortable skates ever! they actually had a shell for each size and not a stupid range. Better fit.
February 5th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
ahh i just don like da way those skates look, i think julian bah shoulda stayed with razor and had a proskate with them
February 5th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
IS A BUCLEK IS JUST A COVER I HAVE SEEN THEM
February 5th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
FUCKK ROLLERBLADERRRRRRRR.dropped the best rider on the team JEFF DALNAS!
February 6th, 2009 at 1:00 am
i think they look ok tbh, this is what were needin more different skates even if its just different colors we need change!
February 6th, 2009 at 1:36 am
Johnny Thomas, when they say prototypes, they mean the very last skates, the white ones. Get YOUR shit together.
February 6th, 2009 at 2:28 am
for South Bronx the whole team was fired and broskow never asked for more skates thats not how pro skates work broskow was told he didnt get along with the rest of them team witch was bull shit he stated this a daily bread mag from a while back
Rollerblade didnt want to pay riders any more thay wanted to start a new flow system witch they did and did well and put more money into the skates
and what rollerbalde did was good idea they just went about it in the wrong way and they keep doing it jeff D but alittle info for some is that there is a contract and when that is up they can decide weather or not to renew that contract they chose not with jeff cant balme them for that its bussiness i think they should have kept him on cut some one else but thats how things go
February 6th, 2009 at 2:38 am
should have cut sizemore.
February 6th, 2009 at 4:00 am
those looks fucking gay. the frames? really gay.. the soul plate, ehh.. lame. buckle on the side of skate? who thought of that.. how stupid, if you bent you shit down it would prolly scrape.
gayest skate… i have ever seen. trss gets more and more gay, the broskow 2s were good but man.. wow.
February 6th, 2009 at 7:15 am
To everyone who thinks that these skates are like Salomons… YOU ARE CORRECT!! What happens is, when a company goes out of bussiness, or stops producing a particular product ( that would be Salomon). Then that company sometimes sells the moulds to other companies that might want to use them. This skate is the same mould as the Salomon widebody skates( just with a few little changes, and some TRS logos) The cuffs are the same, the boot is the same, and the souls are pretty damn close to the same thing. The only real difference from a Salo widebody is the frames, and the buckle. Didn’t any of you guys see the Roces skate that came out last year? It was also an old Salomon boot, just without the widebody attachment, I guess some of you missed it, because nobody skates ROCES anymore.(Do they even have a team anymore? Olly and Alex are both gone so whats the deal?) I’m surprized that people havn’t figured it out, that these are just new versions of Salomon. They’re not just similar, They ARE THE SAME. It’s pretty obvious.
February 6th, 2009 at 8:10 am
South Bronx is full of shit. I had the written letter they used to fire Alex stating the reasons they let him go and it was because “he didn’t get along with the team” news to him since his friends WERE the team.
4 pro skates, more like asked for a skate that wasn’t deigned by Johnson and Johnson band-aids.
February 6th, 2009 at 9:13 am
TANG INA NAMAN YAN OOOOHHHH>…… ok na TRS tapos balik kalokohang fitness looking skates, siguro emo nag design nyan?
February 6th, 2009 at 9:21 am
rollerblade should quit or support other companies. i really dont like their skates.
February 6th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Maybe rollerblade didn’t noticed rollerblading is not into a fitness skate boot with a widebody attached anymore?
If they want to take our money they should invest in aggressive products and not this shit, I won’t support this brand never again.
February 6th, 2009 at 11:59 am
hey here’s a concept guys! lets make our already mediocre skate brand completely go down the shitter by re-releasing the swindlers from a freaking decade ago except we put a different soul plate on it and a fancy metal buckle! oh my god. and you gotta have those oh so innovative 15 inch wheels on em. good god…id rather quit skating than roll these monstrosities.
February 6th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
The pro team of rollerblade trs is not to the top for all !!!!!!!!!

wow nice high school English AJ. Please try again,
February 6th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Don’t knock on these skates until you’ve tried em. This is probably one of the funnest skates I’ve ever rolled on… sooo fast. It’s not an old salomon boot mold at all, you can tell just by looking at a picture of them. You kids have no idea what you’re talking about.
February 6th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
broskow is god
February 6th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
I hope these aren’t the final posters because they are doing jbah dirty by covering him up w/ that black box. These posters feel old school but at least try to push the design further. You’re sense of hierarchy is all over the place.
February 6th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
This guy, are you serious? You just ended a sentence with a comma. You also didn’t capitalize the first letter of your sentence. Besides I believe you are referring to my grammar in which case you should note it was a rant at 3:00 am.
Get real.
February 7th, 2009 at 12:53 am
bs torque fulltorque bs torque. good palette of tricks
February 8th, 2009 at 3:30 am
do not fuckin support a brand who dropped an icons in our sport ! its not only RB…
February 8th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Uhm. Yes they are the same as Salomons. You want me to look at them? Well I am, and that is how I drew the conclusion that these are salomons. This design has been around for ages, It started as the old Rollerblade boot design. Then somehow, Salomon started using this boot. After awhile, Salomon realized that they needed a royal groove/ backslide area, so instead of designing a new boot or soul system, they decided to make a big ugly soft plastic monstrosity, that just screws in under the old souls.( I know that was really like 5 sentences. I like to use commas, sue me). As we all know, Salomon quit the gAME like some bitches. Last year, Roces releast this same boot, minus the widebodies and the unneeded buckle. For some reason, nobody remembers that though. (which is funny because it was the only “new” design to come from Roces, since the Graal a few years back.) And now, the idiocy has come full circle, because RB is using this boot once again. I really don’t see how anyone can look at this boot, and not see a Salomon widebody. Do you really think that the buckle makes it look like a completely different skate?
February 8th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
I really don’t see how any self-respecting roller can still support TRS. They don’t do anything for us. They barely ever sponsor anything to do with aggressive skating, or give deserving pros a pro skate. RB skates aren’t even very good either. They are completely heavy and stiff. Not to mention that their liners are completey thin made from garbage material. They have their heads shoved so far up their ass that they won’t ever use anybody els’s frames,liners, or wheels. USD and Deshi use Kizer frames, UC wheels, and sifika liners. I know that doesn’t mean anything, because they are all conference companies. But Razors and Remz both use GC frames,an array of different company wheels, aswell as a few different company’s liners, eventhough they make frames, liners and wheels themselves. RB are not about the rolling community, they are about using garbage products to maximise profit. If you love this sport, then why would you give your money to a company that makes poor quality products, and doesn’t do anything to help your sport. I personally skate REMZ. I’m not a huge fan of Valo or NIHM. But if I had to switch from Remz, I would gladly spend top dollar on a pair of used NIHMS or VALOS (skater owned), before I would skate a free pair of brand new RB’s.
February 11th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
I hope RB provides the option of buying and using a top buckle instead of a strap. If you saw the prototype pic that was removed, they have made a white skate and they have protected the mid-strap. That means they’re listening to skater comments. Hopefully they don’t keep/at least improve the ugly fake shoe-top that was on prototype.

And I drove already. Began to study then broke a hand. Now I am at a home and look these pictures. Bicycle all the same it is the real thing!
