A California-based company recently launched an Indiegogo campaign for a stylish pair of wheeled shoes that provide a quick and easy way to reach a destination. While roller blades are nothing new, these hybrid sneakers allow you to alternate between walking or gliding without ever changing your footwear.
The revolutionary shoes are called 'Walk Wing' and they provide a fun way to cruise around the city in style. The shoes are designed to allow the user to alternate between running, walking or skating. The shoes are equipped with four wheels that can be activated with just the flip of a switch. To control the speed of the shoes, simply use the durable built-in heel brakes. The ingenious wheeled shoes thus provide a quick and easy way to travel to your destination.
