Rollerblade

Wheeled foot transport

Rollerblade is a trademark for inline skates, which have wheels arranged in a single line rather than in pairs.

The brand became so dominant in the 1990s that the name shifted into generic use as both noun and verb for inline skating generally. (Lowercase rollerblade is the generic verb.)
