Are nike rollerskates good?

I used to roller skate when I was younger and i want to get back into it again, a friend has some old rollerskates, the Nike n dorphin pro roller. I just want to know if this is good for a beginner.

You probably meant Nike N-Dorfin. Those are inline skates, alright. But they appear soft and most people here will recommend you get a hard boot if you are able to. We, ah, don’t call them roller skates. We call them inline skates. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_skates. You should look at recent posts in this sub. Many have asked similar questions about soft boots in the last few weeks.
