Xbox Inspired Tennis Shoes from Heelys

Heelys may have introduced the tennis shoe with wheels that launched a thousand Funniest Home Video entries, but they refuse to rest on their laurels and enjoy the ocean of cash their invention created. So which demographic is being targeted next for the tennis shoe designers? Why the gamer of course, and not just any gamer, the Xbox gamer. What better way to show the world where your loyalties lie than by sporting the new Xbox inspired Heelys on your feet? When gaming t-shirts and tattoos just won’t cut it, now you have a new pair of skids to sport. No word yet on when you can expect these interesting shoes to hit the market, but until then you can revel in the color scheme variety. I wonder what’s next for the gaming apparel industry? Halo inspired undercrackers? Lara Croft inspired bras compete with underwire and balloon pump? I cringe at the thought.

I don’t know, I think masterchief and lauracroft underwear would be kind of cool.
nix the pump though.
Are you kidding ? The pump would make the sale !
Maybe for the males who’d wear it.
This was a bad photoshop joke that’s gone wrong. Way too many people are taking it seriously. That’s pretty sad. XF talked to Heelys. This shoe doesn’t exist.
I wonder why they don’t do a red one…
Tell me plz that is a joke and you guys aren’t taking it seriously
Uhh….what would the point be in making a shoes like that? Why would anyone wear it? I think I would cry if I saw someone wearing a controller-shoe. Eventhough theyre fake, its a dumb idea.
Someone was way too bored.
