March 2005--Skaters looking for the perfect combination of comfort, speed, and convenience, need look no further. Rollerblade, the founder and leader of the in-line skate industry, rolls out the most exciting skate launch of 2005, the Aero 90. Featuring an easy-to-use one-pull closure technology, a lighter, sturdier shell that breathes, and trendy colors, the new Aero 90 skates are ideal for recreational or fitness skating.

“One of the most important aspects of a skate is its fit. Without a good fit, a skater’s experience will suffer, and that’s why we invented the Total Fit System (TFS),” said Nicholas Skally, Marketing Manager for Rollerblade. “The Aero 90’s TFS closure technology makes it possible to get a perfect fit in seconds.”

Patented One-Pull, Exact-Fit Closure System
The large majority of in-line skates have a lace, buckle and power strap closure system. Rollerblade created a revolutionary system, the TFS, which makes putting the skate on quick and easy, while fitting more precisely than laces or buckles alone. Simply pulling on the TFS grip wraps the skate around the contours of your foot, providing a custom support fit made with the same materials as bulletproof vests. Aside from its convenience, TFS creates a customized, skater-friendly fit and skaters will marvel at the comfort level of this effortless fitting system.

The Aero 90 also features 90mm/84a XTRALITE wheels, ABEC 7 bearings, and an aluminum frame. The liner incorporates a form-fitting, antibacterial foot bed, and CoolMax to keep feet comfortable, cool and dry. Furthermore, the liner rests on a bed of Shock Eraser+, which eliminates shock and road chatter for a smooth ride.

Sleek, Light and Durable Shell Design
The Aero 90’s new, one-of-a-kind shell is incredibly sleek, yet ultra-stable, providing the perfect amount of support while reducing all unnecessary weight. Through years of extensive research into the forces exerted on the foot, Rollerblade engineers have identified the crucial points of support needed to significantly reduce foot fatigue – allowing you to skate more comfortably, for longer periods of time.

TriForce Lite channels energy created during the stride directly to the wheelbase, creating an incredibly efficient, powerful stride. This provides skaters with a lighter, stronger, more breathable shell that does not compromise on performance and support.

Hip, Trendy Colors
The Aero 90 for men are navy/red/black and is available in men’s sizes 6 - 13.5), while the Aero 90 for women is blue/silver/black and is available in men’s sizes 6 - 10.5). Available at major sporting good stores and specialty skate shops nationwide, the Aero 90 line is carries a suggested retail price of $289.
