Women's Roller-blades-K2 Alexis 8/8.5

These roller-blades are a lot of fun. Well, not that I wear them, since they are women's but they LOOK fun.

Technically I should not be calling these things rollerblades, but "inline skates". Rollerblades have joined brand names like Kleenex, Xerox, and Band-Aid at walking that slippery slope towards trademark genericization.

One example of a product whose product name got assimilated into a generic description is the Yo-Yo. This was actually a specific trademark product name for a pocket disk toy. But it's much cooler for kids to say, "Hey check out my Yo-Yo", instead of "Hey check out my pocket disk toy". Well actually if a kid today said either one of those things he would get beat up.
