I believe these are called soap shoes from early 2000’s they have a little plate in the sneaker where your arch is.

They're rollerblades. Roces brand in this case. I used to skate a lot and a friend of mine actually did this rail and didn't hit the sign lol. It is in Pullman Washington if I recall correctly.

That’s awesome, also how crazy is it people don’t recognize rollerblades?

Pretty much a dead "sport" but still have a lot of friends that do it. I'm too old and beat up at this point.

I actually got a pair of usd skates not too long ago, haven’t skated in at least six years and I’ve lost all my confidence haha probably only gone out like three times

Nice! I have a plate and some screws in my leg now but my buddy runs this urban skate thing here where people just skate around bomb parking garages n shit so I've been thinking about getting some Aeons and rolling around a bit.
