We all have our favorite childhood toy. For me, its a close race between Matchbox cars, GI Joes and Legos. Well, lately looks like the newest craze for kids are these awkward looking sneakers with wheels in the heels appropriately named "Heelys". I'm sure by now everyone has seen some blonde haired white kid cruising around the mall in these bulkly, box shaped shoes. I'm beginning to think that it has been mandated that every child between the ages of 7 and 12 own a pair of these shoes. Seeing these kids brings back painful memories of when I first got a skateboard and spent most of my afternoons peeling my face from the concrete. Here's a video of some Macaulay Culkin look-a-like wheeling around a Detriot airport. Whoever thought of this Heely thing has just made enough money to retire.
