A new version of the Pacer Charger skates just arrived.  These were designed to look more like the popular quad speed skates and less like a toy skate.  The design looks a little like a smaller version of the GTX500 skates, which have been very popular for many years now.  They come in black or white, sizes 10J-4.  To avoid confusion with the previous versions of the Chargers, these are model #975.  They are in stock now and ready to ship.     Source link
