PRODUCT INFORMATION:
HEELYS: MRP: $47 and up
Heelys wheeled footwear allows the user to seamlessly transition from walking or running to rolling by simply shifting weight to the heel. Users can also transform Heelys wheeled footwear into street shoes by removing the wheel and replacing the heel cavities (adaptors) with heel plugs. Heelys wheeled footwear provides users with a unique combination of fun and style that differentiates it from other footwear and wheeled sports products. Heelys are sold in sporting goods and specialty stores nationwide and in more than 70 countries around the world. An instructional video on how to get started can be found at www.Heelys.com.
HEELYS Hx2 – MRP: $60
Heelys Hx2 has two removable wheels in each shoe, making it ideal for younger wearers. Not only is it easier to maintain balance, but wearers of the Hx2 do not require as much leg strength to lift up their toes to skate. As they get the hang of skating, though, the Hx2 can be converted into a regular pair of Heelys for a more challenging ride simply by removing one of the wheels. Pop out both wheels and the Hx2 becomes a regular street shoe. The Hx2 will be available in mid-July in sizes 12C–3 at a number of different retailers, including Zappos. The MSRP for the shoe is $54.99. To view the Hx2 2010 holiday commercial, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yik1sQmaaBo.
HEELYS NANO – MRP: $85
The all new Nano was designed in house at Heelys and works by simply removing the wheel from one of the skate shoes and snapping the patented wheel bracket into the Sole-LinkT, like a ski or snowboard binding. For use on a single foot, the innovative board thrills the user with the same sensations and freedoms felt while slalom skiing and wakeboarding. The NanoT lets skaters move farther, faster and longer than ever before. To view the Nano 2010 holiday commercial, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw3Fvf6pNAI.
