Nerd Roller Skates - Calgary
About Nerd Roller Skates
Being a Nerd is about being totally obsessed with your “thing”, no matter what people think. It’s about finding your joy and taking it out to play. It’s embracing your quirks, laughing at yourself, and diving in with your imagination and a sense of adventure. It’s about sharing your passion and inspiring each other.
I’ve always been a Nerd, reading too many books and being interested in weird stuff. In 2006 that meant Roller Derby. I had never played a team sport, never mind a full contact one, and I didn’t even know how to skate. But I named myself Roxy Acetylene and jumped in. I started on a pair of vintage thrift store skates with rusty bearings and over the next 5 years destroyed one pair of derby skates and went through 2 more models and 2 boot sizes learning that yes, the skates make a difference!
In 2012 Nerd Roller Skates was born, and every day the people who come through our doors teach us all the things that skating can be. An escape, a physical practice, a method of self-expression, a social activity, a culture, a meditation. But most of all, skating is a journey that leads to that feeling of Flow, or the Zone, that place where everything else falls away and there is nothing but the moment you’re in. Whether you’re feeling the groove in a great song, finding your stride, catching some air, or battling a pack, everyone on wheels has felt it. And we love it.
That’s why we Nerd out.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This shop is exactly what I needed. It is filled with happiness and high quality merch. I was lucky enough to find the perfect pair of Moxi roller skates and red glitter laces! Roxy was keen to help me find exactly what I needed and I cannot thank her enough. I would highly recommend Nerd Roller Skates. If they don't happen to have your size, there are options to make something work!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a great chat with the owner, Roxy Acetylene, about skates. She knows her stuff so well that had she been open in the 70's James Caan would have got the inside lane from her. Things have come a long way since then and the technology and components are not your disco era fare. They can get you set up with an of the shelf pair, or they can custom make a set for you.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I highly recommend this shop - the staff were so helpful and made sure I was comfortable with the purchase from a store in Calgary as I live in Eastern Ontario. Their shipping fees were fair and reasonably priced and their return policy is excellent. Great people!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They're a great bunch! Very welcoming and accommodating. I was able to try the FRX 80 skates in both flat and rockered set ups before deciding to purchase. Needless to say I was sold and have been extremely happy with these skates. Will be coming back when it is time to upgrade.
