Want some new kicks?
Apr 25, 2002 by broox

Why not get a pair of Heelys? These shoes may have looked like they're for little kids at first... but they're soooo much fun. If you don't believe me, check out this video.



Still not convinced? Read on...

Well, have you seen the Soap video "oNe"? If so, you've probably noticed Bryndon and the guys sliding along on some "Heely-Soaps" and grinding ledges. Anyone who saw them wanted to try a pair... but there were only like a dozen of these made, just to test them out, and they never went on the market. Where is all this going?



Some of you might know Joey from Relate Videos. He has been working with Heelys on getting a Heelys grind shoe out. That's right, that PHAT shoe you saw in "oNe" is soon to be available.



Heelys is the perfect company to release this shoe! They're already stable, have a huge market, and are sold in the same places Soap shoes are (or were). Not to mention that they are in the same "underground category" that Soap has always been in.



The grind shoe will be called the "Heelys Grail", Which is a combination of the words grind and rails. The Grails will be tight because you can roll on them like Heelys, pop the wheel off and grind a handrail like Soaps, or pop the wheel back in and roll up to a ledge, grind it, and roll away.



Look for the shoes in stores in a couple months. I'm getting you guys some preview pictures. I can't wait for these shoes!

Peace.
