Description
Appearance
The rocket-skates are mainly white and smooth with black heel regions. Above the topline, they have what appears to be a red tongue and black topline collar. Around the rim of the soles, the rocket-skates have red strips of metal on the rear and front of the bottom, broken below the in-steps. On the bottom of each sole are an orange-yellow line of five small "jets" (three up front and two on the heel).
Features and abilities
Shadow using his Rocket-skates in Sonic Universe #87.
The rocket-skates produce powerful rocket exhausts from their jets which are used to propel them forward. By using them to glide just above the surface,[1] Shadow can propel himself at extreme speeds nearing those of Sonic the Hedgehog.[2] Because the rocket-skates propels him forward at a constant pace just above ground level, Shadow moves as if he is simply skating along a surface when running with his rocket-skates.[1]
The rocket-skates' jets are controlled by Shadow at will. By increasing their intensity, Shadow can produce fire from his rocket-skates' jets to attack opponents.[3] The rocket-skates can also produce high enough propulsion to let Shadow hover in midair, or descending.[4]
