Chuffed Crew Collection Birak Mustard/Coral Roller Skates
These mustard yellow and coral pink roller skates are part of the Chuffed Crew collection and are inspired by skater - Ashley Chitty.
The Chuffed 'Birak' roller skate pays respects to one of the six seasons on Noongar Boodja country where Chitty grew up, and is her birth season.
The beginning of Indigenous seasons aren’t dictated by certain days or months, but by the change of weather, flora, and fauna.
Birak is the first summer, hot and dry, and is regarded as the season of the young.
Young animals leave the nest and start venturing beyond into the world.
This playful image evokes the feeling of skating – embracing the season of the young, freedom, and remembering to be young at heart.
The colours of Birak are encapsulated in the mustard yellow suede outer with coral pink laces and eyelets.
The skate’s lining was a collaboration with Perth's Kamsani Bin-Salleh (@Kambarni).
Kam is a Nimunburr/Yawuru/Ballardong artist who uses the natural world to inspire his work and has provided his abstract interpretation of this Noongar season.

Size: US Mens 4-11
Width: Wide
Fit: Chuffed sizing runs about 1.5-2 sizes down from US women's shoe sizing and is equivalent to US men's shoes sizing. We strongly recommend measuring your foot for the best fit. To measure your foot, trace around your largest foot on a piece of paper while wearing a sock, then measure from the heel to the tip of the biggest toe with a ruler. You don't need to size up for width as the toe box is quite spacious.
Level: Beginner to Intermediate
