The story behind Rollerblade

In 1980, two brothers from Minnesota, who've both been fond of hockey, found a pair of inline skates in a sports shop and thought this design would be great for off-season hockey practice.

They started designing their own and created the first Rollerblade skates in their parents' basement. At the same time, they founded their company. Soon enough, hockey players began to attract a lot of attention on the street, as they rolled along on their inline skates during the summer. Skiers also started using them for off-season training.

Only in the mid-80s did inline skates start to become more popular, and by the end of the period, they were sold in general sports shops. The 90s brought a real revolution for inline skates: materials became lighter and stronger, and new technologies emerged to improve them further.
