Rainbo Sports is the leading figure skating retailer in the United States. Read our story to find out how we got here!

1956 – Rainbo Sports was founded in 1956 and is one of the oldest and largest retailers of figure skating equipment and clothing in the United States. We started serving the figure skating industry as a small rink shop located in the Rainbo Ice Arena in Chicago, one of the first

private indoor ice arenas in the Midwest.

1973 – The first skating products catalog was introduced.

1980 – We developed the Rainbo Dealer Network, which is now represented in 44 states and 23 countries. Today – We provide figures skaters all over the world to shop with us via shopRainbo.com. We have serviced all levels of skaters and have worked with Olympic champions from Dorothy Hamill and Katrina Witt to Tara Lipinski and Evan Lysacek (who was actually a model in one of our catalogs as a kid).

The best part about skating isn't where you begin. It's where it can take you.

Every confident skater you see on the ice once took their very first lesson.

Learning takes patience, encouragement, and equipment you can trust, but every small milestone is worth celebrating.

We're proud to support skaters from their first glide to every achievement that follows.

Every great performance starts long before the skater steps onto the ice.

From precision blade mounting to final adjustments, every detail matters. Proper setup helps ensure comfort, confidence, and consistency, so skaters can focus on their performance, not their equipment.

At Rainbo, every skate is prepared with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that's been trusted by skaters for generations.

There's something special about a skater's first pair of figure skates.

It's the beginning of early morning practices, learning new skills, and building confidence one lap at a time.

The Jackson JS184 SoftSkate was designed with new skaters in mind, offering the comfort, support, and stability needed for those first lessons on the ice. With a synthetic upper, foam-lined interior, and Jackson's Mark I blade, it's a great option for young skaters who are just getting started.

Finding the right skate is just as important as choosing the right size. Our team is here to help ensure your skater leaves with equipment that fits properly and supports them every step of their journey.

Stop by Rainbo or schedule a fitting; we'd love to help your family get started.

Your blades deserve better than basic.

Meet the Rockerz Skate Guards—a skater favorite for a reason. Engineered with a patented rocker shape, these guards actually mimic the curve of your blades, giving you smoother strides off the ice and better support for your edges. Translation? Less slipping, more stability.

✔️ No tools required
✔️ Spring-loaded for easy on/off
✔️ Designed to protect your sharpening and your swagger

Bonus: They come in tons of colors, so you can match your vibe and stand out at the rink—even in the locker room.

Some of the most special moments in skating start long before the medals, the tests, or the big performances. They start here, with friendship, laughter, encouragement, and a love for the ice.

One of the greatest gifts has been growing alongside generations of skaters and watching young athletes find confidence, community, and joy through this sport. From first skates to lifelong memories, it’s an honor to be part of every step, stumble, spin, and breakthrough along the way.

Thank you to all of our young skaters and skating families for letting us be part of your journey. We’re so grateful to grow with you.
