Overview
The Sure-Grip Oxford Tipton Skates are a gorgeous skate intended for the rink, and designed in collaboration with Ashley Nell Tipton. Ashley is a San Diego based fashion designer who won season 14 of Project Runway with an incredible plus-sized collection. Ashley is also an avid skater so this is a really cool collab to see but the skates themselves are cool all-around.
They have a very comfortable feel with padding along the lining and full suede leather that instantly feels great but wears in even better! They have a really detailed oxford look that really reminds us of when people get dance shoes custom made into skates. Down below they feature the nylon Rock plate and an adjustable toe stop that can of course be replaced with a jam plug when you're ready. They hold indoor 57x31mm wheels with a 95A hardness and ABEC-7 bearings inside for a smooth roll.
Here are some more words from Ashley about the skate: "I created the new Sure-Grip Oxford Tipton Roller Skate out of my deep passion for both skating and the vibrant skating community. As a fashion designer, I am infusing this product with a unique element and style that sets it apart. This boot embodies a retro aesthetic, reflecting my love for slides and comfort, while offering a distinctive blend of fashion and functionality."
