signature Riedell Blue Streak series has been years in the making, and tested by the best skaters in the sport of Roller Derby. Specifically designed to be durable, but with an easier break-in process than standard high-grain leather boots. Powered by performance features that allow a skater to progress with propelled functionality and overall prowess. The Specification: Boot: Blue Streak Plate: Rival Alu Wheels: Villain 84A Bearings: Zenith Toe Stop: Moonwalker Natural In the sport of Roller Derby, the boot nirvana is to have the skate be an extension of the leg. To make it feel like the boot is just part of your foot and is so light you don’t even notice it is there. To achieve this, a very snug fit is called for, but who wants to lose their toenails or turn the skin on their feet to ribbons? The design of the Blue Streak has all the support and tried and true features of the original Riedell 595 boot, with upgrades to ease the break in period and make the boot feel like a comfortable slipper, but with supreme durability. This is old school for a whole new generation of derby. These skates are a game changer, and Roller Derby will never be the same again!
