Objects Bottega Veneta Roller Skates

With roller skating undergoing a renaissance not witnessed since the 1970s, London parks and Bristol’s new Bump Roller Disco are seeing a peak in wheel traffic, as a new generation of skaters show off their sassy rexing, dipping and spread-eagling moves. Check Australian, @peachyskaterr for her retro outfits and grooves. Devotees swear it is the best exercise for inner thighs while signalling good vibes all round. But what about taking this recreation to the next level? Daniel Lee, creative director at Bottega Veneta, has launched BV roller-skates with a retro silhouette and crafted in soft lambskin with sleek detailing including a padded ankle cuff. In pea green leather, with 6cm diameter matching wheels, these skates are the cat’s whiskers. Interested? Watch Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu in preparation for your skate debut.
