Brain Dead x Them Skates

We are ecstatic to announce the release of our latest collaboration with independently owned and operated Them Skates. Founded by legendary inline skater Jon Julio, Them Skates is as core as it gets. After winning the National Championship in 1996, Jon Julio has lived a life dedicated to the art of inline skating. From street to vert and everything in between, Them Skates represents what it means to be truly independent in today’s skate market.

Based in Santa Ana, California, Them Skates has never faltered in their dedication to their beloved pastime. With our founder Kyle Ng being a fanatical skater and good friend of Jon’s, this collaboration is truly the melding of two companies whose DNA is inherently intertwined. Not only will the our collaborative line with Them Skates feature custom skates and a full collection of apparel, but we have joined forces to create a new team video featuring THEM’s eclectic group of international skaters. The Brain Dead x Them Skates collection will retail for $65-300 and be released Tuesday, August 31st at 10 AM PST online at wearebraindead.com as well as in store at Brain Dead Studios and Them Skates’s Santa Ana store. Visit Wearebraindead.com.

Can finally show y’all what we’ve been working on. After just about two years of planning and testing with Blank, Rollerblade & Kyle Sola, here is my new pro skate. Never really thought getting a pro skate would even be a possibility. So I truly appreciate all the love so far. - Sean Keane.

Birth Brand, First Skater owned/ operated brand in Rollerblading history. Founded in 1993 by Chris Edwards. 2020 relaunch by Chris Edwards & Ray Mendez.

We produced a limited 25 pair run of the new Fab Storm Skates in this color wave and we have already sold 7 of them so get em while supplies last and snag a set of these exclusive historic skates! Available now for purchase at birthlegend.com. The Queen Fabiola Da Silva has finally got a skate with her name on it! Birth Legacy is so proud to be able to bring these skates to the community as we honor the amazing career of Fabiola and all of the contributions she continues to give to us all! Fabiola created one hell of a STORM during here competitive career and now it’s time for our girls to bring the the THUNDER! #bethethunder

For my Brazilian folks the skates are gonna be available VERY SOON. - Fabiola Da Silva.

I met a young 12 year old girl back in 1993 while on tour in Brazil promoting the movie Airborne. She was killing it on vert and tossing amazing backflips spins and tricks at such a young age! The moment I got back to the states I approached those in charge of Rollerblade Team and insisted they sign this young phenom to the team! You could just tell the fire she had was bright!

Several decades later Fabiola Da Silva has become not only a legend but a huge inspiration to skaters around the world both male and especially female! Her dedication and contributions to the community are undeniable! I can’t believe I am saying this and that no other skate manufacturer has had the decency to recognize this skater and the female skaters in our industry by blessing her with a pro model not only for herself but for all of the ladies that have been inspired and followed after her, but it’s a sad reality that is finally about to change!

I am so honored and thrilled not only for Fabiola but for all of the ladies and future bladies in our community to announce the first ever skate to have Fabiola’s well deserved name attached to it! Yes it’s a Kaltik skate that we collaborated on with some xtra bells and whistles for the girls and yes Roces just dropped Nils Jansons Storm Pro Skate, but we have been working on this skate and it’s appearance since the beginning of the year and this STORM is FABs STORM and it belongs to all of the young girls out there aspiring to be like Fab!

Fabiola will be receiving $25 from each pair of skates sold as she deserves the support of our community for being the legend that she is! SUPPORT her legacy! Fellas buckle down the hatches because the female storm is coming! Skates will be available for purchase starting next week at Birthlegend.com (youth sizes 1-4 & 4-7 will be available, price: $225 USD). - Chris Edwards.

Gawds releases their first hardboot in the form of the Gawds Tim Franken skate and it’s a looker. Up for preorder now (estimated to arrive in early October). Photo courtesy of Locoskates.

The latest edition to the Gawds family is the new Tim Franken Pro model, featuring the best components available on a classic hard boot silhouette.

The skates come as standard with the new MyFit Prime liner, the latest premium model in the Myfit range. The glass fibre reinforced plastic cuff has an upgraded extra strong metal buckle and fast lacing system on the shell.

The new soul plate is now injected, lightweight, strong, fast, finished with the perfect anti-rocker setup of the Kizer Fluid IV frames and Tim’s own Pro Gawds wheels and Abec 9 bearings. Black/Black gloss with gold accents. It’s an instant classic.

Nils Jansons is the only rider on the pro team switching between 5th Element and M12 based on what he needs to accomplish. So last fall when we started brainstorming for this new release, instead of asking which model he would prefer, I proposed to do both.

At first, everyone was a bit skeptical. Nevertheless, the feeling that having a collection instead of a single model for the first time would be cool, sunk into everyone’s mind. So, today, we couldn’t be more excited to present to you, everyone, the first-ever pro signature collection.

STORM Fifth Element & M12 shipping in the upcoming weeks.
