The Lightning name is nostalgic from the 1990's but here it is with many modern upgrades. The Rollerblade Lightning 80 Women's Skates look great in white and teal, with comfortability and durability to suit any skater in any environment. Although labeled "women's" by RB, it is really a unisex model that fits the same as the Rollerblade Lightning 80 Men's. If looking for a darker color way, check out the men's version and just size down one size. One very important change is the Memory Buckles on both the 45-degree and cuff area. This allows you to get them on and off faster than most, with micro-adjustability set and remembered for the next time you skate. Lightning Liners are super comfortable with anatomical padding. Inside are PSI footbeds, shock erasers, and footboard sizers for fit adjustments. The boots are nice and strong with plenty of ventilation cutouts and replaceable lateral sliders. So they are strong and responsive for urban freestyle skating, but with airflow (more than the Maxxum and Twister) and comfort to skate for fitness, commuting, or just for fun! The base of the boots have metal frame mounting blocks to attach strong extruded aluminum frames (removable and adjustable) for efficient energy transfer and synergy between the boot and frame. Inside is high-quality Urban 80mm 85A Wheels & SG7 Bearings (brake is included in the box).
KEY TECHNOLOGIES
Footboard SizerA slim insole that removes/adds volume when placed under the footbed. Included in the skate box, they help each boot cover a full size range (i.e. 9.0-9.5), making them easy to size with the ability to provide a more snug or more relaxed fit.
Power-Focused Playing StyleThis style suits players who thrive on generation strong, top end speed through longer and forceful strides. They come with a stiffer boot that efficiently transfers energy into the rink for maximum power with every stride.
Acceleration-Focused Playing StyleFor players who rely on quick bursts of speed and agile movements to dominate the game, this type of skate is ideal. These offer a moderately stiff boot that balances support with mobility. These these skates, you can swiftly change direction, make sudden moves and accelerate rapidly.
