Rollerblade Estilo Sven Skates

Another brand new skate from the homies over at Rollerblade. The Rollerblade Estilo Sven Skates, Sven Boekhorst is a long time shredder from the Netherlands, and X-Games Gold Medalist. Sven took 2003 – 3rd Place Park (Bronze). 2000 – 1st Place Park (Gold). 1999 – 1st Place Vert Triples (Gold). 1998 – 3rd Place Vert Triples (Bronze) at the X-Games, pretty impressive, and still killing it at 30+ years old. Sven’s skate is their classic Estilo style shell with a new twist, the actual shell and cuff of the skate are made from biodegradable plastic between 30% and 60% of renewable raw materials. This makes the skate not only green on the outside, but also on the inside. Check out some of the extra info and detailed pictures below:

“Skating legend Sven Boekhorst collaborated with Rollerblade designers to produce his pro skate. The Solo Estilo SB shell and cuff utilize bioplastics with renewable raw materials that help safeguard the environment without sacrificing performance. It is has a V-cut liner and cuff. The Solo sole system features an all NEW street formula composite nylon which stands up to Sven’s skating style. The sole plates are a completely flat sliding surface for stable sole tricks. The system also includes a one piece inner negative plate for negative grind tricks.The Estilo SB comes with an all NEW Blank brand frame, with shaped side-walls which make the frame slide smooth on the roughest surfaces. 60mm/88a wheels for improved speed, SG9 bearings and 47mm plastic anti rockers for optimum grind space. All hardware (cuff, sole plates, and frames) are removable and replaceable.”

“Together with Rollerblade we explored the different possibilities for my new skate. Some main features have been redesigned for the SB skate. The cuff is redesigned; the plastic part at the strap is cut off to improve comfort. I wanted the skate to be very light so we choose for two straps instead of clips. The colour of my skate is army green. I choose this because i think it’s a striking colour for a skate, and because of my nickname. We made the plates grey, so the skate looks more like a shoe. For the frame, we choose for the new Blank frame. I’m very happy with this frame. It slides very well, is unbreakable and fits four 64mm wheels. Ran van de Kerkhof designed the logos for the skate. On the cuff you will find the logo with my given nickname “The Silent Assassin”, and on the tongue of the liner; a crown with my initials. Pretty Fresh! This is a dope colorway, not used by much other skates.”
