They aren't all that new, as I've seen them around for a year at least, but I've never figured them out...
You know. Those shoes that have wheels on the bottom so you can... glide around?
Well, we did have some stupid things on our shoes when we were kids. Remember the Reebok Pump? Or even better, those shoes that had those red LCD lights that blinked whenever you walked. I guess this is just this generation's gimmick.
But this is stupid. Kids seem to have little control with them, and almost every time I see one in action, it ends with the kid stumbing, often in the way of somebody else. And how comfortable must it be to have a fucking wheel sticking up underneath your heel?
And I'm starting to see adults wearing these things. Anyone over the age of 12 has no business wearing something that serves no purpose other than to make you look like a retard.
Does anyone want to try and explain the exact appeal these shoes have to anyone who's left puberty?
