The Ultimate Combo: White Castle and Heelys Team Up to Introduce Fun, New Footwear Available May 15
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Move over fries and cheese sticks. White Castle has a new sidekick, and this one has wheels.
The shoes blend menu-inspired visuals and White Castle's recognizable color palette with Heelys signature style.
The family-owned business, founder of The Original Slider®, is partnering with Heelys, the company behind the original wheeled shoe, to introduce a limited-edition collection of White Castle branded Heelys shoes. The shoes will be available exclusively on Heelys website beginning May 15, also known as National Slider Day in recognition of the burger that turned White Castle into a household name.
'Just like our Sliders, these shoes are one-of-a-kind, craveable and made for memorable moments,' said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle. 'We're always seeking fresh and fun ways to satisfy cravings beyond the menu. Partnering with Heelys to design these exclusive shoes does just that.'
The shoes, available in two colors, blend menu-inspired visuals and White Castle's recognizable color palette with Heelys signature style. The first version is white with royal blue trim and laces and splashes of orange, while the second version is Night Castle inspired black with orange trim, white laces and splashes of royal blue. Both versions feature the White Castle logo on two sides, a tongue that looks like a Cheese Slider, and small illustrations of Sliders, fries and soft drinks.
This is a limited-edition drop, so fans are encouraged to get these shoes before they're gone. Both the lighter white version and the darker black version are available in sizes youth 13 to mens 13 and cost $75 plus tax and applicable shipping fees.
'White Castle is a fun and authentic brand, so it's been really exciting to work with them on this collaboration,' said Sara Arbelaez, social media and partnerships strategist at Heelys. '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.'
Heelys are shoes with removable wheels located in the heel. The wheels transform the shoes into stealth skates, giving users the freedom to seamlessly transition from walking or running to skating by shifting their weight to the heel. When the wheels are removed, the shoe performs just like any other footwear.

NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, announces International Expansion with New London Campus Opening in 2026
MILAN, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, is proud to announce the forthcoming opening of a new venue in the city of London. The London campus – NABA's first outside Italy – will take its place in the context of the Here East innovation and technology campus inside the Olympic Park and, starting from October 2026, it will be a strategic hub for the Academy's process of internationalisation and the benchmark for other future centres outside Italy. London has long been an international point of reference for artistic and creative education and is a strategic centre where innovation, culture and new trends in the sectors of art, fashion design and design come together, offering a dynamic educational proposal that is integrated with the evolution of the contemporary panorama. The opening of the new campus will enable NABA to take its place in an ideal context for cultivating new talent and promoting Italian heritage and know-how, as well as making a major contribution to building and shaping the future of the creative industries, in line with the Academy's mission 'Through Artistic Intelligence, we nurture people to design a new tomorrow.' The launch phases are being overseen by Daniele Bisello o Ragno, Managing Director of NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, along with Guido Tattoni, NABA Dean, and the Academy's Leadership Team: together, they are successfully driving forward its development strategy at the international level, of which the forthcoming London opening will be the first major milestone. Specifically, the new London campus – the third after Milan and Rome – will offer an educational proposal made up initially of three BAs in Design, Fashion Design and Fashion Marketing Management in addition to the Foundation Course from the start of the 2026/27 Academic Year. The programmes, all delivered in the English language, will be characterised by a strong practical, interdisciplinary orientation and connected with the world of work, thanks to laboratories furnished with technical equipment, where students will have the opportunity to create their own projects and improve their techniques: the Design Lab, the Fashion Design Lab and the Textile and Knitwear Lab, in addition to a studio classroom and a number of creative spaces. Students will be offered educational and academic services equivalent to the other two Italian centres with the possibility of making use of the Career Service, assistance in obtaining the necessary visas, psychological counselling and a library. The admission criteria will be in line and consistent with the model of NABA campus in Milan and Rome, with the option of transferring from one to another. Participants who successfully complete the three-year courses will obtain a BA (Hons) Degree accredited by Regent's University London, a leading historic London institution at the international level and, since 2020, part of the Galileo Global Education (GGE) group of which NABA is also a part. Through the partnership with the Academy, students will be offered the opportunity to obtain a qualification valid in the United Kingdom and recognised at the international level. The site will cover an area of more than 2,000 square metres within the innovation and technology centre 'Here East' in the heart of the Olympic Park, one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of the city and home of the Liverpool Media Academy, also part of the GGE group. London is a real outdoor laboratory, an ecosystem where artistic know-how merges with innovation and where the Academy's 'learning by doing' approach can be showcased, characterised by the determination to create connections and openness to the future, not only as a space dedicated to education but also as an organisation where students can gain hands-on experience while working on real briefs and projects with companies and institutions, with the aim of thoroughly training the professionals of the future. Moreover, it will be an innovative centre with a focus on digital technologies and a sustainable approach, in line with NABA's sustainability manifesto. 'At NABA, we believe in an education that trains people, not just professionals. With this opening, the Academy is strengthening its global vocation, creating an environment where cultures come together to design tomorrow together. The NABA campus in London will be an important step that allows us to replicate outside Italy the didactic and educational approach that has always set us apart and enables us to consolidate the Academy's positioning in the panorama of artistic education at the international level. Indeed, NABA was included in the 2025 QS World University Rankings® by Subject as the first and only Italian Academy of Fine Arts to be among the 100 best universities in the world in the field of Art & Design. Our aim is not just to offer an alternative to the great British institutions, we want to introduce a new voice, able to unite heritage and the avant-garde,' said Daniele Bisello o Ragno, Managing Director of NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti. And he added: 'Our uniqueness lies in the combination of the excellence of Italian design and an experiential and creative educational approach with interdisciplinary, tech-driven programmes connected with the creative industries. We offer classes tailor-made for the student, a 'boutique' model that values individual talent. Our wish is to be able to offer a model that can be replicated in other countries, in the short and long term. We hope that London is the first of many new premises at the global level.' For further information visit NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti NABA is an international Academy focused on arts and design: it is the largest Academy of Fine Arts in Italy, and the first one to have been recognised by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR), back in 1981. In its campus in Milan, Rome and now also in London, NABA offers academic diplomas equivalent to first and second level university degrees in the fields of design, fashion design, graphics and communication, multimedia arts, new technologies, set design, visual arts, as well as PhD and Special Programmes. The Academy was founded by Ausonio Zappa in Milan in 1980 with the involvement of Guido Ballo and Tito Varisco during a first phase, later attracting to its faculty artists such as Gianni Colombo and many others, the idea being to abandon rigorous academic traditions and instead introduce new visions and languages based on contemporary artistic and professional practice.

Spanish Government Delegation Visits Desay SV Intelligent Factory
LINARES, Spain, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a remarkable week for industrial development in southern Spain, Desay SV welcomed two delegations from the Spanish Government to the new intelligent factory site in Linares. These visits underscore the strategic importance of the Desay SV project as a pillar of reindustrialization in Andalusia — revitalizing the region's economy, generating quality employment, and establishing Linares as a new center for smart mobility and high-tech manufacturing. Spain has long held a key position in the global automotive sector. In July 2024, Desay SV officially broke ground on its intelligent factory in Linares, Andalusia, marking a significant milestone in the company's strategy for international expansion. The factory is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, with mass production starting in 2026. It aims to manufacture 1.5 million automotive displays annually by 2028, delivering cutting-edge cabin and driving assistance technologies to global clients. – Boosting Local Industry and Employment – On June 24, 2025, Juanma Moreno, President of Andalusia, visited the Santana Science and Technology Park to observe construction progress. He praised Desay SV for bringing the 'most powerful' automotive touchscreens to the market and emphasized the company's role in rebuilding the local automotive ecosystem. Juanma Moreno noted that the Desay SV intelligent factory project represents a major Chinese investment, and that the project will create a value chain ecosystem that will boost the economic development of the region. The project will serve as a successful example of industrial revitalization 14 years after the closure of Santana Motor. When discussing future support measures, he mentioned plans to strengthen the role of Andalusia's key automotive hub by offering additional regional incentives and administrative support for companies in the park, including Desay SV. – A Strategic National Initiative – Two days later, on June 26, Jordi Hereu, Spain's Minister of Industry and Tourism, toured the site and reinforced central government backing. The Spanish government has allocated €5.5 million to Desay SV through PERTE VEC III to support sustainable transportation and industrial modernization. Minister Jordi Hereu described the project as a 'strategic flagship initiative' for Spain's automotive transformation. 'After decades of deindustrialization in Europe, Spain and Andalusia are now entering a new industrial era,' he said. 'This project represents our great cooperation with Chinese companies and our shared ambition to lead the future of mobility together.' Against the backdrop of international instability, Desay SV is actively deepening its localization strategy, establishing a presence in markets including Europe, Japan and Southeast Asia, while continuously strengthening its regional service networks. The Spanish intelligent factory project is a key initiative for Desay SV to position itself within the global automotive supply chain, offering competitive innovative products and highly efficient services.
