In a spin over heeler-wheelers: ‘Heeled wheels, shoes that roll, the footwear to rival scooters
– or “Heelys”, to give them their official, patent-pending title
– are steadily becoming the latest craze in Los Angeles. The
shoes have a single “stealth” wheel housed in the heel of the
shoes, allowing users to walk or run and then change to a
roll. The wheels are detachable, transforming the shoes into
fashionable streetwear.’ Why am I first hearing about these from the Irish Times?! It’ll be interesting to see how (if) this fad spreads. Drop me an email the first time you see someone wearing a pair of these outside Southern California, and I’ll post the news.
