FR Skates FR1 Inline Skates

FR Skates is a premium inline skate brand that has become a staple in the urban, freestyle, and freeride skating communities. The brand was launched in 2018 by Sebastien Laffargue and Gregoire Pinto after they branched out from the original SEBA brand to focus exclusively on their premier 'FR' line of products. The brand is renowned for introducing the high-quality hardshell boot design that offers exceptional support and durability for professional and enthusiast skaters alike.

While the brand is conceived and designed in France, the mass manufacturing of the skate shells and components primarily takes place in specialized sporting goods factories in China to maintain global distribution capabilities. FR Skates emphasizes technical innovation, frequently updating their liner designs and frame integrations to optimize power transfer and comfort.

Today, FR Skates remains an independent entity under the leadership of its original creators. It is managed through their parent company, Universkate, based in France. The brand continues to dominate the freeride market by maintaining a massive global distribution network and sponsoring high-profile international skating competitions and athletes.
