If you, just like us, live in part of the northern hemisphere which is less gentle when it comes to weather, you may have noticed that days get shorter, clouds obscure the sun giving everything a washed out, greyish vibe and world gets uglier and uglier each day. Winter is coming, as they say. But! Before cold, icy entropy will ruin our skating plans, we have a whole autumn to enjoy. What better than some shiny wheels to add some flavour to your evening skating sessions?
Luminous wheels are available for several years now and even though they were not the first of this kind of the market, they are definitely one of the most popular choices. No surprise, seeing that they offer a wide range of vibrant colours, sizes and come with bright LED lights. Apart from catching bystanders attention (glitter variants even more so!), these are truly decent specs wheels with good urethane compound. No surprises here – Luminous is a brand of Universkate, the very same company which is behind Seba and FR Skates.
There’s no denying that shining wheels are used mostly for their cool factor. However, there’s a side benefit to them – making you more visible in these gloomy, autumn times. In turn, you are safer while skating. Below you can see how glamorous they look. Do not hesitate to pull the trigger on those! Mix the colours for more street cred! Here you’ll find inline skating wheels and here are ones for rollerskating.
