The movie Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Will Ferrell, among others, will be released on July 20. In it we will be able to see the adventures of Barbie, one of the most famous dolls in the world, represented by flesh and blood actors.
What has caught our attention and what we believe could be very interesting for our sector, is that inline skates will have a great prominence, judging by some images that we have been able to see.
It would not be surprising if, as happened with the highly successful “Soy Luna” series, the skates worn by Barbie become fashionable among people who are not regular skaters.
What skates does Barbie wear in her movie?
As we have been able to see in several images and even in the official trailer, Barbie and her inseparable Ken, wear fluorescent yellow inline skates to match their protections and clothing.
The skates in question are inline skates of the Impala brand, specially designed for this film. It is the already known Impala Lightspeed model that this time wears neon yellow colors. This inline skate model evokes the design of the early 90’s skates quite faithfully. In other words, they are hard-boot skates, with a plastic chassis, 72mm wheels and few technical advances.
These skates are available from size 35 to 44,5 at a price of 189,99€.
Where to buy Barbie rollerblades?
There are very few stores authorized to sell these skates and Inercia, naturally, is one of them.
You can buy the Impala Lightspeed Barbie both in our online store and in our store in Barcelona, although we must warn you that this is a model with a very limited production.
In addition, you can also buy the official Barbie set protection pack and Barbie socks in 3 different designs.
Better alternatives to Barbie inline skates
Barbie inline skates are almost a collector’s item fond of the brand. 189.99 for skates with the performance of the Impala Lightspeed Barbie is a bit steep, especially when the exact same model in a different color can be found for considerably less. If you don’t have to have exactly the same model of skate that Barbie and Ken use in the movie, you can choose from several interesting alternatives that can satisfy Barbie fans and people who, thanks to the movie, have decided to get started in the world of inline skating.
IMPALA LIGHTSPEED BLUE-YELLOW
As we said, exactly the same model as the Barbie skate but in another color and much cheaper.
BKB B5S+ PINK
With a neon pink aesthetic, the BKB B5S+ is one of our best-selling skates thanks to its impressive value for money, offering for a very reasonable price, solutions only available on skates almost twice the price. If your intention is to get started in skating or skate along the boardwalk like Barbie and Ken do, these are some of the best skates you can find for less than you’d expect.
FLYING EAGLE F3 DRAGONFLY PINK
In a price range a little higher than the BKBs but still lower than the Barbie skates, we have these gorgeous Flying Eagle skates with neon pink everywhere and high-end skate components. In our experience, whoever tries them gets them!
POWERSLIDE ZOOM 80 NEON YELLOW
Undoubtedly,the skates that aesthetically most resemble Barbie’s skates. Even though they cost 50€ less, they offer better quality components such as aluminum chassis, 80mm wheels and a more cushioned liner.
Barbie, the movie, official trailer
If besides skating you are interested in the Barbie movie, we leave you the official trailer so you can count the days until its official release.
