Heelys to offer Xbox 360 footwear

Just when we thought we ran out of ideas on how to express our love for the Xbox 360 to the general public, shoe maker Heelys comes to the rescue. The shoe you see above is part of their "Gamer" collection which which is set to release next month and obviously take inspiration from the Xbox 360's controller. Ah heck with inspiration, the Heely company took a hammer to controller, smashed it up real good and stuck random buttons on the bottom of the shoe. Then again, we're sure it's a tad more scientific and professional than that. Anyway, we haven't come up with an official opinion on these Xbox 360 themed sneakers just yet, but when we do we'll be sure to praise or bash them accordingly. Though, it would be nice to always have a spare controller at hand foot.

5. Would have been better with the guide button instead of that random power button, but still a good present for the 360 mad kids

8. Kotaku panned these things, but I think they are sweet. A cool way to express my 360 love. Plus, my 9 year old son (who will be getting a pair for Christmas) will effing LOVE these.

9. Ok i just don't get it. these just don't appeal to me in the slightest, but if they do then carry on i guess. more money into more games

10. Would be nice if da shoe was actually a wireless controller

11. Yeah, they're kinda lame, but I'd still totally rock those things if they came in my size. When do they hit the shelves?

They're lame in that cool hipster trendy sort of way - like rocking a pokeman watch that says random things to you and makes pikachu noises... not that I ever did that.

12. looks like someone in the heelys marketing department needs to throw themselves off a tall building ASAP.

13. Some of those shoes aint half bad...

14. it'd be cool if this actually worked as a makeshift controller. go over to a freinds house who doesn't have spare controllers. no problem, play with your shoe.

15. will these shoes overheat and get the RROD?

I dont want my feet to suffer any serious burns ;)

16. Well, Nerf (The foam dart gun people) made a wireless PS2 controller already.
