I wish Creators started rerunning the 1960's-1975 Bob Montana drawn Archie comic strips.

Despite how they were drawn, this seems more like a reference to "wheelies", a fad among the under-10 crowd from the late 90's. From what I remember, there were single wheels that retracted into the heels, so the little munchkins would more glide than roller skate.

And still a really dated reference from a legacy strip.

Yes, I agree, I think it's "Wheelies" also. They went beyond the late
90's... I wasn't aware that they were popular in the 90's. I recall
them being popular close to 2010, or the late aughts. They were banned
in many public places for depicting similar to what this comic strip shows.

"Heelys" seem to have been the original, and they're still around:

You my be right about the timing. I just remember my kids (born in 1991 and 1995) were too young for them when the fad started and the fad appeared to have died out by the time they got a little older.

I was born in '95 ;)

I recall it first hand, I would have been at the younger half. I never
had interest in owning them, but I do recall the middle school that I
went to had banned them, as well as our grocery store, etc.
