Roller Derby


As a kid, I was OBSESSED with skating. I'm pretty sure I had similar ones, just of course, not as rad. All I remember is clinging to my mom's arm in Santa Monica, hoping to not fall on my bum. But now, these bad boys have just joined my closet and I can literally stare at them all day. They were made custom-made just for me by my good friends Jordan and Jensen over at Modern Vice! Fit perfectly to my foot, these Modern Vice x Klingbeil roller skates are insane! They just ooze roller derby cool and I’m pretty sure I’d kick anyone’s ass in these in the rink hehe. The leather is beyond superb and the red-hot shade reminds me of a spider…or something equally badass. I can’t wait to take them for a spin down the Venice boardwalk with some rock n’ roll skinny jeans, a leather jacket, and some messy beach hair. Doesn’t get any better. Or maybe a silent roller disco?! There are countless things I want to do in these and I can’t wait! If you see some string bean rolling down Central Park uncontrollably, it may just be me. Anyways, this killer skate was made right here in the heart of NYC, and there was definitely a lot of work that went into each and every detail! My name engraved in the skates make them all the more special. Modern Vice, you rock my world.

Awesome skates! I was always obsessed with skating (& hockey) as a kid too. I have a vintage pair of blue suede skates... I can't wait to pull them out and start skating again when the weather gets a bit warmer.

These skates are gooorgeous! They have a real spiderman badass vibe to them :) I used to love skating as a kid but now that my centre of gravity is considerably higer I'm a little more wary but you've certainly inspired me to give it a whirl :)

Roller blading used to scare me - I was so afraid I'd get knocked over! It wasn't until my mom introduced the four wheel style like that that I actually got into skating. Such a cool set of kicks you've got there.

Julia A said...

Wow these are AWESOME!! I wish I could skate (I was always a skateboarder) but if I could, or if I wasn't so scared of falling, I would definitely use these to skate around the city. Well, the non-densely-populated areas that is. Maybe Brooklyn. :)

Dom said...

Damn, you're making me wanna bust out my old pair of rollers I have yet to use. They don't look anywhere as cool as yours though. I'm kind of inspired to try roller skating as a form of commuting once it gets a bit warmer in the city!
