For one of the more unexpected sneaker collaborations in recent memory, Heelys has joined forces with White Castle for a pair of hamburger-inspired sneakers.
According to the footwear company and the fast food chain, these White Castle x Heelys Slider Rider styles were created in celebration of National Slider Day, observed on May 15.
Two iterations of the sneaker are available now exclusively at Heely’s website, with one pair dressed in a white-based colorway and the other in predominantly black. Both versions feature blue and orange accents pulled from the White Castle logo appearing on the lateral side of the upper. The sneakers’ standout element is the removable wheel in the heel of the outsole, which transforms it into a skate.
“White Castle is a fun and authentic brand, so it’s been really exciting to work with them on this collaboration,” Sara Arbelaez, the social media and partnerships strategist at Heelys, said. “The design turned out so well. We know White Castle Cravers are going to enjoy flaunting their love for Sliders wearing this unique and playful version of Heelys.”
Both iterations of the White Castle x Heelys Slider Rider are available now at Heelys.com for $75 apiece. Grab a closer look at the collab below.
