Heelys, the company that brought you sneakers with wheels, is now stunning the world by releasing sneakers whose soles look like Xbox 360 controllers. Don't everyone run to the store at once now.

Although these soles do look a little cool with all the right buttons, they present several problems. First, when you're wearing them, nobody can see the soles. Second, and crucially, to wear them requires stepping on the squished image of an Xbox controller. If you love Xbox 360 enough to purchase the matching pair of sneakers, would you really want to insult Microsoft's pristine design by stomping on it, and possibly defacing it with dog poo? We don't think so. However, if you're a real Xbox hater and would love to step on the image of the controller as much as possible, would you really go through the trouble of buying sneakers to make your point? Again, not so much. Heelys might be better off sticking with its specialty: wheel shoes.
