The story · 1982

The story of Couples Skate Satin Shorts

Rink shorts were all about the shine. Under the mirror ball they flashed like a race car, and the contrast piping made every crossover step look professional. You wore them with knee-high tube socks pulled up to the max. The real pros never fell, and if they did, they made it look intentional.

Fun fact

Satin shorts were so slippery that sitting on the rink benches meant slowly sliding off them all night.
