Review on NIKINER Classic Premium High Top Leather by Dwight Tim

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suitable for beginners but not the best

I bought this for my husband who constantly remembers how he used to skate as a kid. At the time, he had white roller skates with pink wheels, but his family had him paint the pink wheels black because it was considered "girlish." fits. Converting women's to men's sizes is always a little daunting, but luckily these fit just right! We just took one size up to go to a men's size. (Hopefully one day we'll be one-size-fits-all and end all this gender bullshit.) He likes how the wheels shine and while the hardness isn't listed in the description, they seem fine for outdoor use. I'm trying to figure out what trucks are made of. They can be plastic, which will be a big wake-up call. I'm not sure but we wear shin pads and helmets so we'll find out if they don't work. Definitely if he really uses them then I'd happily give him a legitimate pair with better carts and wheels in the future. And I think that's what they're for - test the water, and if you really like them then invest in a better, safer pair of skates. For now, it's enough for me that my husband is enjoying a few childhood moments again, this time without judgment, just having fun.

Pros
  • Sport
