Overview
The Lightning is back and better than ever. The Rollerblade Lightning 90 Men's Skates look fantastic in black with champagne colored frames, and we love the features . 90mm wheels puts them in that sweet spot for both speed and agility. An every day skate that can be used to urban freeskate, fitness skate, commute, or to just have fun! Although labeled "men's" it is really a unisex model that fits the same as the Rollerblade Lightning 90 Women's. To check out the same skate with sangria colored frames, check out the women's version and order one size larger.
The 2024 Lightning Skates are the first with Rollerblade's Memory Buckles (both the 45-degree AND cuff positions). This allows you to get them on and off quick and easy, with micro-adjustability that is able to be set and remembered for the next time you skate. Molded plastic shells are strong and responsive, but with multiple ventilation cutouts to keep feet cool and dry. Anatomical, sublimated, and removable liners hold feet comfortably and safely. Performance Skate Insoles and shock absorber under the heel help to withstand impacts and provide additional comfort. Each boot covers a full size range (i.e. 9.0-9.5) to make sizing easy. Place the Footboard Sizer (included) under the footbed to raise/lower the foot and change volume. Metal frame mounting blocks at the base attach strong extruded aluminum frames (removable and adjustable) for efficient energy transfer and synergy between the boot and frame. Inside are high-quality Hydrogen SE 90mm 85A Wheels & SG9 Bearings (brake is included in the box).

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL SKATE SIZING GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Measure both feet with socks similar to those in which you intend to skate. Then use the measurement of the longest point and reference the model-specific size chart to determine size. How to Measure Your Feet for Skates. | |
| Proper fit has the toes not being cramped against the front. Toes may slightly brush the front as heels will settle back when in the skating position. Try on skates indoors while in a seated position. Lace and buckle both skates, tap your heels to the floor, and then stand and bend your knees to simulate the skating position.
