The Sidewalk Sports line is just what the market has been missing," said Don Carroll, SVP Marketing for Heelys, Inc. There are several different brands of shoes out there, but none of them offer design and technology quite like our MaxTrax technology. As an innovator in sidewalk activities, Heelys wants to continue to push design and technology to the next level and offer kids products that will enhance their skills and increase their enthusiasm for physical activity.

The Sidewalk Sports line is available in five styles, each featuring the grippy rubber bottom. The Blitz and Moto styles both offer removable anti-bacterial insoles that every parent will love for its machine washable construction. The Ripped style offers a more athletic look with a grip fin pad, suede and leather uppers with 5 colors sure to attract both girls and boys. The Gecko and Gila feature a more traditional skate look with leather upper and faux vulcanized midsole in graffiti prints and a grippy rubber bottom. The Sidewalk Sports line is available in girls and boys sizes and start at a retail price of $39.99.
