Well, i guess it's comprable to hte SOAP non-plated version of shoes, the couple of them.
I wonder though if this is a sign of HSL falling apart. We need to get a chance to show them SOAPs can help and get them back going.

I heard something really stupid. Something about little kids falling from stairs due to heelys safety issues?
Apparently they think they can make a pair of shoes that is "safe" until you want to be heelying or something.
I dunno, I don't quite get it.

This is just rediculous.
They don't want to put money into Soap shoes because they aren't sure it will make money but they're willing to put money into a shoe that combines an xbox controller with it?
Well we dont know that, it could even be one of those controllers that have games built in but that doesn't matter... Because they're SHOES!
I've stepped in an all manner of things my whole life. I'd love to see how these controllers combat stepping in gum or poo. How long until the fully functional controller turns into a weird scratched up smelly bottom that resembles all shoes once worn.
If they make money on this, kudos to them, but i'd like to see the market data cause that's such a weird concept to put on shoes (Still wondering how this could even be a comfortable controller.)

Not only that, but they still can't learn how to make better looking shoes. Funny.

Interestingly, the only one that looks wearable to me is the Green one. I mean, I dunno. Maybe it's for gay people.

I agree with dario 100% I step through a mess of shit in like all my shoes. What if you walk through water? What if you step in gum? I dont know but they damn better have answers.

The shoe obviously wont do great if HSL has to send in Heelys SE's Hernando to tell Soapers about a wheel-less, non-grindable Heely.
Oct 16, 2007greenfire8484
This thing actually is a controller?
I thought it was just a look O.o
This is scary.

everyone, stop hating on the shoe. Or do you want me to re-type what i did on the other thread?
Your choice

the shoe is NOT a functioning controller. It's designed like a control to appeal to gamers.
Oct 17, 2007SapAuthor
This isn't a shoe; it's a slipper!
If you look, it doesn't have laces, but the expanding thing and shaped as a small slipper. My guess is for those who always get cold toes while playing video games?
Maybe they were meant to be shoes, but i agree with my dad, don't they look like kid house slippers?
Oct 17, 2007SapAuthor
These may make decent slippers, but i wouldn't wear these where anyone could see them lol.

Here is what I think:
I don't think it is a good idea in the least. I don't think they are very good shoes especially for these reasons:
1. Should not be released under the name of heelys. Heelys are either a grind shoe or a shoe you can "inline" any time you want to by just putting wheels in your heels. People will be confused with this new product, not knowing if it can grind or heely.
2. The design. Is Microsoft giving the OK for this deal? And if so, how much money would you have to split if you are giving them any money at all? Not only should you consider that, but if the shoe would even sell if it can't grind, heely, or anything else that heelys are known to be.
3. The lack of good color choices. I am not too thrilled about the colors for boys and/or girls. I think the white and pink color choices are too commonly used. It's something on a girl shoe you see too often. Make a different color, like how the baby blue cleans are. Those look like a shoe guys and/or girls can wear. Some design similar to that color looks like a girl shoe that would stand out. Pink and black or white would just be a common thing.
I am not crazy about the black and white design. I don't know how to explain it, you should just call it my opinion I guess. I am just not thrilled about it.
The colors that I do find SLIGHTLY interesting are the green shoes, and the blue ones.
Honestly, if I had an interest in the product, I would go with a shoe that is red and black. Like on the goas or ordinances? I think that's a killer guy shoe.
And I think that if HSL is going to make a new line of heelys (heelys or grind shoes), I think they should make a drastic change in the way the shoes look, how the shoes grind, and how the shoes heely.
how about making a new design for the grind plate? Like how the grails were released with the grind rails plate. Make something different with the grind plate.
How about either:
make a different grind plate, make them removable grind plates in a non cost sensitive way, make a better balanced heely design (like the torches or evolutions. Those wheels on those models have big wheels, so I am assuming that you can balance a lot better opposed to the grind this wheels), and make a whole new color choice design.
That's basically all I have to say about it.
Thanks for keeping us informed HSL, keep us updated on everything! :)
Oct 17, 2007RamenRadio
Perhaps, HSL could release it under a different name. That's what I would recommend if they really want to release this shoe.
Thanks for your time.

$45 plus 4 free video games? Parents will love these. I can see this being worn by kids who don't have a sense of style and wear what their parents get them. Heely's is still tapping their children demographic, this still won't hit with the older crowd.

Thats odd that the other link didn't work, looks like they got rid of the article.
Anyways this article is the same exact information. It's just a press release from Heelys about the shoe.
As far as I know (and I am pretty sure on this), the shoe is not a controller, it's just part of the design.
Oct 18, 2007RamenRadio
No, it is not a real controller in the shoe. The only thing that is game related is how it looks like an Xbox 360 controller, and how it comes with 4 games in the box.
It's nothing but a slip on shoe made for "comfort, and style".

and what kind of games? Xbox 360 games?
psh count me out. I don't have anything against the 360 much anymore, but I wouldn't buy a pair of shoes for some free games (if I had the console that is).
Besides, the values of the games would probably go down. You might find Halo 3 50 cents used somewhere if that shoe is released.
I dunno, enough of me babbling :P

The next time my friend comes over with his Vapor Heelys, i'll take a pic to show you why

Either way, i suspect this shoe is going to feature a rear sole plate like the T-Bone. At least that's what the name obviously suggests, "5-O"...
5-0 Grind
(START WIKI) Pronounced "Five-Oh". In this maneuver, the back truck grinds the rail/edge, while the front truck is suspended directly above the rail/edge. This move is similar to the manual, although the tail may be scraped against the obstacle as well as the back truck, which is not considered proper on a manual. (END WIKI)
If not that, then maybe a front sole plate?? but then the name 5-O would seem a bit off.

And it may be a different grind plate than the edited express plate featured on the grind this plate. The grind this plate wasn't the best nor the worst plate, however from what I hear the material wasn't the best nylon solution to use.
So they might make a new grind plate, put a pair of grind rails plates on there, make replaceable grind plates available for heelys, or put a sole plate on there (whether it is possible or not, it is an option wide open).
