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 also
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 MSRP for the shoe is $54.99. To view the Hx2

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 Nano
lets skaters move farther, faster and longer than ever before. To view
