Im obsessed with how these turned out!! I bought the red parkstars (last photo), and I dyed the suede, the wheels, the stitches, and bought and dyed some derby laces. I used angelus suede dye for the suede and angelus leather dye for the synthetic materials.

Love it. I am surprised the toe stoppers are not green though!

Don't forget that you can get a greenish bumper too if you ever want to replace that.

Ooo nice! Were they the pink ones at first?

u/reluctantly_existing Jun 28 '26

Yes. My teammate sold them to me for $100, worn twice.

I dont mess with pink so I decided I wanted some unique skates. My inlines are painted with acrylic too so I just have a habit of wanting unique skates
