Custom Color Skates
« on: October 19, 2011, 07:16:39 PM »
At the rink tonight, one of the coaches had leopard print skates on. Leopard print!!! They were fabulous! But I didn't ask her where she got them. I'm sure they're custom. But google is coming up empty. Anyone ever heard of that kind of custom skates?

One possibility is that they were custom Harlick skates - they offer a $100 "animal print calf leather" option.

Klingbeil makes them ... and I've seen leopard print offered as one of the Riedell custom colours.

A   girl at our rink has done hers in leopard tape.  You can't tell it is.tape unless you are up close.
