Someone Needs to Buy These


October 24th, 2008

famolareskates.jpgHere and there for the past few days, I have been rolling out an encore of “Joe Famolare and the Platform Shoe,” which is a summary of a workshop that was conducted several years ago. As I was surfing around, I came across a pair of Famolare skates with the iconic bicycle label. I did not know about the existence of skates before. I have not seen them in any older ads, nor do I remember them.

These are not for men, but for a ladies size 8, so ladies, you might want to snap these up right away. I don’t know when I will ever see another pair like them. They are available on Etsy from the VinnyandVernelle’s. CLICK HERE to grab them before they are gone!

    Those are pretty cool and look like clog roller skates! I dare not buy them, if I tried street skating now I would damage myself for sure.

    I loved Famolares! I worked at a shoe store after school in the 70’s and used my discount to be platforms. Too cool!

    Thanks for the memories!
