Sure-Grip has been working on a new deluxe quad rental skate for some time.  They’ve shown them at a few tradeshows, they’ve tested them in rinks, and now they’re ready.  We just received our first shipment of the 170RS Super Rental.  Features include:

Stitched sole with nailed and riveted heels

Integrated heel cup for extra support which is riveted to the sole

Double counters for more strength.

Thicker leather all around.  Increase durability for a longer life span.

Double layer of leather around eyelets.

Cross stitched upper for better union between inner and outer leather.

Double toe cap and double back stay for increased durability of toe and heels.

New composite sole for increased life and adhesion to boot.

In stock now.  Sizes 3-16.

Another new skate we’re really excited about is the Apex P1.  This is a juvenile quad speed skate that is designed to be more of a skate than a toy.  The Apex P1 comes in sizes 10J-5, in black (with green) or pink.  The wheels are a higher quality than what you usually see at this price point.  The bearings are genuine ABEC-1.  These are not in stock yet, but should arrive any day.

The New Year is just days away. It’s the perfect time for a fresh start, as skaters across the country make resolutions to get healthier, have more fun, and spend more time doing fun family activities in 2017. But as much as we’d like to start the New Year with a bang, we just can’t hold in the news: a brand new roller-skate is coming to Southeastern Skate Supply!

Coming to Southeastern Skate Supply: P1 Skates

We’ve been working hard to develop a top-of-the-line skate that will revolutionize skating rinks. And it’s finally here! We’re excited to introduce the first skate in our new P1 skate line: APEX. So what is it?

• The APEX skate bridges the gap between kids’ skates like Charger and adult skates like the GTX-500 or GT-50. It’s ideal for tweens and young teens, which is the target demographic for most skating rinks in the U.S.
• The APEX quad skate is available in sizes 10J-5.
• They have a hubbed wheel that’s smaller in diameter than skates like GTX-500, but they reach a level of performance that’s unheard of for a “kid skate.” It’s the first skate made for daring younger kids with the determination and skill to learn new tricks.
• They have an ABEC-1 bearing that gives skaters a better roll than similarly priced skates.
• Versatility in marketing for the P1 line. Call it “Position One” for sporty kids and “Player One” for the gamer crowd.
• APEX skates have a competitive suggested retail price, making them a sure hit at skating center Pro Shops.

Revitalize your skate stock with the best new quad skates on the market. Contact Southeastern Skate Supply to purchase APEX skates for your rink.

Holiday skates are going fast! Roller-skates are a popular holiday gift for kids, and as Christmas gets closer, popular styles are getting harder to find. We’re doing our best to keep everything in stock, but keep these updates in mind when ordering skates.

• We received a new shipment of Chicago 400-405. We currently have every size and color in stock except for the white Chicago 400 in sizes 2 and 3.
• The XT70 kids quad skate is back in stock. We have a good supply of both colors and sizes. Several weeks ago we were out of stock on the XT70 white in small and medium. Keep an eye on our website, newsletter, and social media channels for up-to-date info on our skate inventory.

We have dozens of roller-skates in stock, including:

At Southeastern Skate Supply, we strive to provide skates for all kids, regardless of their skill or budget. As we get closer to Christmas, we’re seeing a big increase in last minute shoppers. Be aware that while we have full stock on many of our skates, the lower price point skates are a hot item this year. Skates retailing for $50 or less have been popular over the last few weeks, and we cannot guarantee stock through Christmas. Don’t wait to order your holiday skates!

The Chicago Skate Shape Bags are now back in stock.  This is a lower priced bag with an attractive skate design printed on the bag.  They’re available in pink or blue.

We carry a full line of New Year’s Eve party supplies.  Balloons, noisemakers, blowouts, etc.  We also have pre-assembled packs of party kits with a nice assortment of party supplies.  New Year’s Eve is just a few weeks away, please order these soon to make sure they arrive on time.

We received some more of the Q60 inline skates.  Sizes 9, 10, 11, and 12 are now back in stock.

Christmas and New Year’s Day are both on a Sunday this year.  Southeastern Skate will be closed on the Monday after both holidays to allow our employees to spend time with their families.

A reminder on some of the new skates that are now available. . .

GTX-500 – now in a new black and pink color scheme, a black boot with pink cushions, laces, stops, and hubs on the wheels.  Sizes 1-12.

We received a good shipment from Roller Derby this week.  We now have the following back in stock:
Candi Girl – everything except the U772 Rewind (solid black) sz 6
Stinger – boys and girls, small and medium
Ion – boys and girls, small and medium
Stryde – boys and girls, small and medium

The Vanilla Junior has two new color choices.  The Mint is a light mint green color.  The Royalty is a deep red, with gold highlights.  Both of these skates are in stock now.

Vanilla also has a new boot, the Freestyle Anniversary.  This is a light blue color, and is a tribute to their very first boot, which some of you may remember.  This is also in stock now.

We also have two new shoe care products available.  The first is called the Gear Bomb and it is a pair of small balls.  You pull the balls apart to release an odor fighting material, then you put them down inside your skates to soak up any foot odor that might be accumulating.

The second is Shoe Goo.  This is a tube of material that can be used to repair or protect older boots.

We recently did a big list of post-tradeshow closeout specials.  If you haven’t received a copy of this flyer yet, please ask for one with your next order.

New From Vanilla

We’re expecting a new shipment from Vanilla very soon.  We’ll be getting several new skates from them.

There will be two new designs for the Vanilla Junior package.  The Junior Royalty has a deep dark shade of red boot, with a gold tongue.  The Junior Mint is a light mint green shade.  Both of these come in sizes 3-12 and are the same price as the other Vanilla Junior skates.

They’re also doing an Anniversary version of their Freestyle boot in a light blue color.  If you remember back to when Vanilla first started, this was the color scheme they used on their very first batch of boots.  This one comes in sizes 6-13 and is the same price as the other Vanilla Freestyle boots.

Each of these are on a shipment from Vanilla that should be here by October 17.  Each of these are being called limited editions, so get them quick if you’re interested.

Shoe Maintenance

We’re also now carrying a couple of new skate maintenance items.

Gear Bombs are small balls that you insert into your skates.  You pull the “bomb” apart, and it releases an odor fighting mist right into the boots.  They come in pairs, one for each foot.

Shoe Goo is a material that helps protect shoes from damage and wear.  It comes in a 3.7 ounce tube.
