K2 Skates began as a ski maker in the state of Washington, USA in 1962.

It was the first ski company to popularise the use of fibreglass in making skis, making them lighter and more responsive.

The goal at K2 Skate is to create the most innovative tools for consumers to provide the best skating experience, push the sport of in-line skating and strengthen the culture. From performance to fun, they deliver reliable, intuitive and cool product to skaters of all ability levels.

In 1993 K2 revolutionized the inline skate industry by presenting and producing the first-ever Softboot inline skates. More comfortable and lighter weight Softboot design than classics hardboots in these years.

Skatin instantly became more enjoyable and easier thanks to this innovation, and it changed in line skating forever...

Years later, this Softboot design is still the foundation of K2’s entire line.

Often imitated by most inline skates brands, but never duplicated, K2 is the Original Softboot that continues to push the inline skate innovation.
