You canât really call them âsneakersâ any more, no?
/ itâs pretty much a sure thing that somewhere, some dimwitted perp will be caught because he was wearing these.
You know those blinky shoes little kids wear? Thereâs a reason adults donât wear them.
too small?
Iâll totally get a pair of these when theyâre available in a style that doesnât say no-name brand from K-mart.
Or when theyâre available at a no-name brand price. US$95 is entry-level Nike money.

It takes a bit more effort, but the results look much better in my opinion.
Thatâs exactly why I didnât wear them. Until I found these shoes, and bought a pair.
I really like that the button to turn on the LEDs is positioned so that when you put the shoe on, your foot presses the button once - itâs like the scene in a superhero / giant mecha type movie where the power suit powers up in response to being put on.
Search for âlight up shoesâ on Aliexpress.com - you can get them from the same wholesalers Fancy is probably using, at something much closer to a wholesale price. They all have the same soles, but thereâs a lot of different uppers to choose from.
True. I wouldnât mind a pair of roller shoes, though.
You wear it well.

They do make heelys in adult sizes â they donât retract, though (you have to remove/insert the wheel manually).

Yeah, those are the ones - with the âSIMULATIONâ soles. There are some other ones that have different and slightly less clunky soles, but they donât have the multiple changing colours.
Theyâre really quite bright and spectacular at night or in a dark club.
Repeatedly stomping on electronic devices is not the best approach to making them last long. Iâve worn mine only a handful of times - dancing, running, outside in rain and wet grass, not super gentle on them. There are now two lights on one shoe where the red LED doesnât work. I wonât be surprised if they continue to suffer further failures; if it turns out Iâve spent $5 per time I got to wear them in full working order, Iâm alright with that.
'cept it says SIUMULATION.
Which makes me like them all the moreso.
The Precession of Siumlacra.
except it says SIUMLATION
