March 4th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Not Bad…, it be nice if the ankle strap buckle purple color and White Sole Plate With White Cuffs…
March 4th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
good mod, much improvement, but id still never skate em
March 4th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
a little bit of the old cult lace system, and a lot of gay and this is what you get. I’m all for the idea of a purple skate, but why did the worst boot company have to do it? bad form, rollerblade

what RB needs to do is get their head out of speed skates, and have a seperate team do the freestyle skates. or get a new group to design the freestyle RB’s…. cause these are what put us rollers to shame..
March 4th, 2010 at 5:26 pm

March 4th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Anybody noticed that the fitness skate boot is exactly the same boot than the one in the aggressive model???

Message to Rollerblade, and all the young kids just coming into rolling:
Enough with the GAY colors. Yup. Purple is gay. Pink is queer. Rollerblade, come on…same boot for an fitness skate as an aggressive one. Shows how much they care about our side of skating. FUCK YOU ROLLERBLADE. With the money you guys have, you should be leading this side of the industry with innovation and high quaity, GOOD LOOKING products. This is just a half ass attempt to keep making money off of freestyle rolling.
And yes, i tried some of these(in black). They suck. Besides, I’d rather give my hard earned money to Shima, Julio or Kato, or even the dudes at the conference first, than Rollerblade. Just cuz I know Nihm, Valo, Remz, and USD are fucking TRYING.
And to all you fags who love wearing bright colored skates and skin tight spandex like purple, red, green, etc jeans(you know who you are)…you suck dudes.
Grow some hair on your balls, and stop with the gay ass indie music.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
yeh bring bck the old designs they skated good and looked good. these skate alright but jus look gash

why there’s always someone trying to involve the pants, music and style with quality of skates, our industry…
people that wear tight pants or whatever they want won’t stop wearing their clothes because you think it’s gay, so you should really fuck you and try to do something to help our industry, even if it is only a comment (a good one, please) on a website like rollernews.
what we really need is people who promote our sport and do what they can to help us growing and it doesn’t matter how the person is dressed or the color of the skates. And if you think purple is gay it’s ok you don’t need to buy it, but if someone wants it you can’t say anything about it, it’s not your life man.
Peace. from brazil (:
March 4th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
and yeah, I agree when you all say RB sucks and this skate is horrible HAHAHAHAHAHHA
March 4th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
look really gay !!!!!!!!!! fail !!!!!!
March 4th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
…the new rollerblade mold looks good in small sizes. I really don´t like this color, but the skate itself is a good light hard boot. Buy whatever skates you want and be happy that there is some diversity in our industry…
March 4th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
you know its not that it looks gay
its more that the cheap bastards at rb are having the same mold for fitness/ rec skates and aggrissive inlining. its pretty obvious that that was the plan in mind obviously because you can buy the rec skate and just get some soul plates on them and boom! shitty skates with soul plates
and btw the rec skate looks better than the one with soul plates
March 4th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
GOOD…. GOD!!! ROLLERBLADERS ARE SUCH BITCHES!!!! All we do is complain about wanting to get more exposure and then when we get it we wanna be “underground”. We complain about not having any diversity in brands as far as designs go (roces=valo, razor=nimh). So when a new skate comes out and its not white or grey or black people wanna complain. If u havent ever skated the skate then dont say shit. If u dont like the color then dont buy the skate. And if u really dont like whats comin out then u try comin out with a skate and then listen to everyone complain about that.
I think these are dope becuz theyre different. These are gonna be exciting to see customized. Also, no matter how often idiots complain ROLLERBLADE IS NOT GOING AWAY!!!!
P.S. U want a skate to complain about? Xsjado. Their stuff isnt any different. Their colors are recycled. Their team blows ass. The skates are fuckin horrible (ive had a pair) and they look like hippie, sandle shit.
March 4th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Whoever says it doesn’t matter how a skate looks is an idiot. A shoe is made for walking but you aint gonna buy shoes that look like your grandma would wear them. Plus if we’re trying to promote rollerblading and get new kids to buy some skates for the first time then they have to look good
March 5th, 2010 at 1:05 am
ok, we all want our shit to look good, but we all have diff opinions…..if we are all going to dress the same, act the same, and listen to the same shit we may as well just go down the same played out road as skateboarding or any other comercialized sport. Plus i dont realy like the skinny jeans craze but i do skate in stretchy skinnys as often as possible, you can spot your skates way better and get way better range of motion in your legs without all the added baggage
*ive never skated solos, but i modded some salomons with solo plates so my friend could have some cheap skates, well those bitches pretty much shattered and he can barely even do soul tricks
March 5th, 2010 at 1:31 am
rollerblade has the ability to get their product into major retailers where moms shop for kids when they arent already involved in skating. aggressive skates NEED to be available in mainstream shops to bring kids into the sport. there is much reason to dislike some moves rollerblade has made in the past/present but don’t be so negative. if these skates bring one kid into the sport he will support the grassroots brands for years. keep it up rollerblade.
March 5th, 2010 at 2:08 am
ha ha colel if you ever have actually skated xsjado, you would know they are not bad skates, in fact out of every skate I have tried which is every brand (except USD) xsjados are far superior in every aspect…and your comment is so hypocritical, first you insult people for hating on different looking skates, then you start hating on xsjado because they look different, serious fail…lastly, the xsjado team sucks? really? farmer and stockwell suck?
March 5th, 2010 at 2:19 am
hahahaha!! What the heck happened to RB?? They use to put out good skate during the TRS days?? What happened RB, What happened???!!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 2:29 am
I am disgusted by over 90% of the responses to this post. Most of these post make me hate rollerbladers. Thank god I love the sport enough to not care what a bunch of ignorent fucks think… Go out and skate… Fuck the hate. Thought I wold share my thoughts.
March 5th, 2010 at 3:38 am
Way to steal the concept of the K2 il Capo skate
March 5th, 2010 at 5:04 am
primarch Rogal Dorn: Ur absolutely rite. It was very hypocritical of me to down Xsjado like that especially after i talked about how all we do is bitch.
My fellow americans, i would like to recant the previous comment that i made on rollernews regarding the brand Xsjado.
That being said, i guess the point is that we’re all gonna have our different opinions on skates and what not. For instance, i hate xsjado, but i do know some guys who swear by them and i gotta be honest, most people think i’m nuts but I’ve owned every brand in the market (except nimh) and Rollerblade is the brand i keep going back to. The truth is we should be happy that this is what rolling ha turned into. I dont know how old u guys are but i know that when i started skating there were USD, Razor, K2, Rollerblade and Salomon and yeah i guess u can count Oxygen. But the thing is they were all the exact same skate except for K2s and Salomon. And now everything is so different. Even skate brands have more than one skate design themselves.
So. U dont like the skates? Then dont buy’em. Thats that.
P.S. The Xsjado team is pretty good but i still think they need to add a little color (if u get my drift) to the team.
March 5th, 2010 at 7:57 am
Those are dope. And the concept of having one shell for both rec, fitness, and stunt is genious. I need to check out those other rec RB’s and do some cusTom’s
March 5th, 2010 at 9:12 am
people bitchin about people bitchin funny shit
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
OH NOW YOU KIDS GET SICK OF IT. Yeah rollerblading is getting gayer and gayer. Gay kids PLEASE go do something else.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
i really disliked the new rb designs but they grow on me and im down for them and thier diversity.. dont think i’ll ever feel the purple though..
March 5th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
Do you know how I know you’re gay?
March 5th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
All you haters go and f**k your selves! RB are the roots of this sport! so what if its purple! So what if the boots the same as the reccys, that just proves what a versitile boot it is! Any one here even remember boxcar, they didn’t even have a groove you had to file it in your self!
Stop bitchin and start grinding!
Peesh
May 4th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
lots of little hater groms.
even if your not down with the purple, you’ll all be clamouring over the transparent ones when they come out.
Surely its intelligent using the same boot mould just altered for different diciplines of skating?
i swear all you kids are just seriously thick,
hating over a company thats been in our sport from the very start, has always made aggressive skates and has always come up with new boot moulds every couple of years, which is more than can be said for alot of skate companies.
ive skated the new boot mould, and there going to be my next pair of skates, and befor eanyone says it, the last paifr of rollerblade i had were ci5′s back in the day.
these skates are durable, light ,precise and they look real nice in colours other than purple.This has to be the only sport in the world that has 70 percent of its partakers hating on the sport itself?
stupidity is what it is.
your all fools and if you think anyone really wants to hear your whining then your mistaken.
