Vintage Stacy Adams Black Leather Cap-Toe Roller Skates with Sure-Grip Germany Plates

Custom-mounted vintage roller skates featuring classic black leather cap-toe boots by Stacy Adams, handmade in India and paired with Sure-Grip Germany quad plates and vivid red urethane wheels.

This rare pairing exemplifies a niche yet celebrated trend from the 1970s through early 1980s, when serious skaters and performers often customized fine dress shoes and boots—especially Stacy Adams and Florsheim styles—into high-performance roller skates. The result combined the craftsmanship and elegance of traditional footwear with the spirit of the era’s roller-disco culture.

These skates capture that fusion beautifully: the sleek, tailored silhouette of formal leather boots contrasted with heavy aluminum Sure-Grip hardware and bold wheels. The patina on the leather and subtle wear on the plates give them a sculptural presence that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.

Excellent overall condition for display or styling. A striking collectible for design enthusiasts, skate historians, or anyone drawn to the eccentric elegance of 1970s roller culture.
