The popularity of rollerblades really sky rocketed in the 1980s. Prior to that, inline skates (rollerblades) had been around for centuries, but the design had failed to catch on. It wasn't until 1980's when the founders of the Rollerblade Skate Company created the modern version of inline skates as a way to train for ice hockey during the warmer months.

Their design took the market by storm and the popularity has only increased since then.

Are rollerblades like in-line skates?

The term "rollerblades" is actually used interchangeably with inline skates. The largest inline skate dealer in the world is the Rollerblade company and their name has become the common place phrase for inline skates. Think in terms of the phrase kleenex. There is actually a company called Kleenex, and there are other companies that make tissue paper as well. However, most people just say kleenex in place of tissue. The same is done with Coke. So to ultimately answer your question, rollerblades are like inline skates because rollerblades are inline skates.
