Deep in the Seattle Underground, far removed from the Space Needle and the city skyline, a family organization exists that has been rolling since ’95. The Kirschner Bros. Skate Co., also known on the street as K2, has been wheelin’ and dealin’ in this city and around the globe offering uncompromised innovation, performance, and value to skaters for a generation. From the humble beginnings on Vashon Island, Washington, the brothers Kirschner have created a vast reaching organized network of skate aficionado’s and backed by a strong family that enforces the K2 inline legacy, and protects it’s business interests. Make no mistake, The Kirschner Bros. run this town. You wana’ soft boot? Talk to a Kirschner. You need an Eco skate? Talk to a Kirschner. Aluminum frame? 80mm wheel? Aggro skate? Talk to a Kirschner. Because in this town, the only way to beat the rap is to get off skate free, and there’s not a better way to do that then with the help of the K2 familia.
– You gotta’ problem wit dat?
The era of women wearing men’s skates with different color ways became a thing of the past once Don Kirchner demanded quality, fit and performance for everyone. The Don successfully changed fit and function of women’s skates thanks to his vision of T:Nine. The Don and his handpicked T:Nine Alliance of Women created Softboots that fit the anatomically different calf and foot shape of women creating a skate so responsive and a fit so great that no woman would dare put their foot in a hardboot again. K2 is proud to work with organizations committed to finding a cure for breast cancer. We proudly support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The skating world changed overnight when The Don delivered the first Softboot to his Il Capo. The Don explained, “when this technology makes it to the people…skaters all over the world will know the feeling of having nothing but the best on their feet….like our family.” The K2 Softboot construction is the most comfortable, stable, and well-designed inline skate construction ever produced. This patented technology features the most breathable uppers, supportive cuffs, and best fit known to any inline skate.
