It seems that time has just marched on and folks don't think this style is as relevant as it once was. I will admit some of the new styles of roller blades and skates have additional safety features when compared to these, but do we really have to bubble wrap kids - and even adults - in like we do? Hopefully, you will get lucky on one of the auction sites or in a resale shop somewhere soon. You wouldn't happen to have photos from back in the day, would you? It seems doubtful, unfortunately.

I was hoping with this retro move in fashion they would bring these back! I owned 3 pairs back in the day, saving my allowance for months to buy 1 pair! I literally wore them till they fell apart and I weeped each time. I'm over 40 now but I would so rock these shoes today and proudly! By the way the reply was no plans at the moment and since 2 years have passed I am guessing they wont, sadly. Thanks for your post. About 2 years ago I contacted the company.

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