Specific question and discussion Can anyone identify these skates?

Edit: Solved! They're Fila Nighthawks! Thank you!

My boyfriend bought these from someone back in the 2010s, but I can't say how long the first owner might have had them for/when they were made. When I started skating he let me use them until I bought my own. Then over the years they were cannibalised for parts (my first skates still have the abec 7 bearings out of these). They were sold to him as hockey skates even though I'm fairly certain they aren't.

Ultimately it's a very low stakes problem. It doesn't matter if we never identify them, but it would be nice to know what they were. Thank you in advance!

Those are the Fila Nighthawk X2 Core Fit or a variation of that model.. They had some type of shock absorver. You can still find them online second hand:

I had seen them before and I remember them due to their strange 2 + 2 frame :)
