Kids Never Stop Growing – Now their Skates can Keep Up Rollerblade’s Newest Children’s Skate Extends Up to Four Full Sizes
HAMILTON, NJ (PRWEB) March 9, 2007
This spring, Rollerblade will introduce a children’s skate designed to save parents money while keeping kids active and fit. The Micro II Total Fit SystemTM (TFS) makes putting on a skate quick and easy, while providing more support than laces or buckles alone. With the turn of a dial, the TFS cord wraps the skate around the contours of your foot, creating a snug, comfortable fit. “After being stuck indoors all day, kids are anxious to get outside,” says Nick Skally, Marketing Manager for Rollerblade. “This skate provides kids with a little independence. They can kick off their sneakers, strap on their skates and helmet and hit the road.”
The Micro II TFS is also equipped with a unique extendable frame that can be adjusted from sizes 12-2, 2-5 and 4-7. “A child’s shoe size changes once or twice a year, and this can start to get expensive,” continues Skally. “Parents are thrilled with these skates because their kids can wear them for several seasons.” The Micro II TFS carries a suggested retail price of $ 99.00. The gray skate is available with purple accents for girls, orange accents for boys or a vibrant blue/yellow combination for both.
Based in Hamilton, New Jersey, Rollerblade is a stand-alone subsidiary of the Tecnica Group. The worldwide headquarters of Rollerblade is in Trevignano (TV), Italy. Rollerblade is the founder and leader of the in-line skate industry, with more than 250 patented innovations. Serving as the premier manufacturer of inline skates, related accessories and protective gear, Rollerblade has received several awards for its innovative technologies, including the first women’s specific design and the proprietary ABT® braking technology for controlled, effortless stopping. To demo the Micro II TFS or for more information contact Jaclyn Ngai, Rosica Strategic Public Relations, at (201) 843-5600 or email.
