Razors SL Inline Skates

The Razors name is a wordplay and gives away the attitude with which the company has entered the market. Aggressive inline skates are often called „blades”, a shortcut from word „rollerblades”. And how we call a blade with a super sharp cutting edge? A razor. The brand has been founded with intention of making some waves on inline skating market, even though at the beginning they were just a small fish in a pond where much bigger ones already swam. While the company has never grown in to the same size as competition, they were always focused on having a solid team of pro-skaters and making decent skaters.

The Razors SL are, hands down, one of the most innovative hardboots in history of the sport. SL stands for “Super Light” and indeed, for years these were the lightest hardboots you could find. The secret is soulplate – it is not attached to the bottom of the shell, it acts as a bottom of the shell! Thanks to smart design, it clicks on the boot which doesn’t have a sole. Worry not – these two parts are firmly and securely attached. Apart from lower weight, a huge benefit of this solution is placing a foot closer to the frame, lowering center of balance, as well as removing some material between it and surface you grind on. This gives a much better physical feedback on tricks – industry took years to catch up with this concept.

Razors SL skates may not be latest and greatest, but it simply does not matter – their design was so ahead of its time, they are still relevant today. Looking for a pair of reliable, functional and light harboots for aggressive skating? Look no further.
