Repulsorlift skates were a type of unique repulsor boot to the Nimbus commandos of Jabiim.

Characteristics
A signature piece of gear to the Nimbus commandos of Jabiim, repulsorlift skates were a type of boot equipped with repulsorlifts in the heels, allowing the user to float up to three meters above land or water, and thrusters in the calves that propelled the wearer up to ninety-five kilometers per hour. These boots made a visual distortion when active, with the thruster assembly being extremely explosive and vulnerable to blaster fire.

History
The Nimbus commandos of Jabiim used repulsorlift skates to navigate the muddy world of Jabiim, considered untraversable by walkers and other such conventions. With these skates, the Nimbus Commandos were considered nearly unstoppable on their homeworld, and used the skates to incredible military effect during the Clone Wars. Using the skates, squads of three could penetrate enemy lines withe ease, reach heavy equipment and walkers, and destroy them charges and grenades. Commandos would then scatter mines behind them in retreat - their skates' repulsors allowing them to glide over the mines without detonating them.
