Bring retro rollerdisco charm to a jacket or bag with this vintage pair of high-top roller skates, stitched as a neat duo with crisp laces, rainbow side stripes, multicoloured wheels and solid toe stops. The white boots outlined in black make the brighter blue, green, yellow, pink and orange details stand out clearly, so the design reads well at a glance. It is an easy choice for skaters, rink regulars and anyone who likes a 1970s sports look without losing that clean, classic skate shape.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design worked in 13 thread colours, it suits fabrics with enough body to support the detail, such as denim jackets, canvas totes, hoodies and sturdy sweatshirts. The vintage styling looks especially good on the back of a bomber, the front of a skate bag or the pocket area of a roomy sweatshirt. If you want a sports embroidery design with real colour and movement, this pair has enough structure to feel bold rather than flimsy.
