Can you imagine being the person that got paid to take this bad boy on the road for 10,000 miles? That's nearly once around the world. MFer probably took this chair from Alaska to Chile along the Pacific Coast.
Probably ran the casters on a conveyor belt/treadmill for whatever length of time.
At a speed of 3.5 mph, youd only have to run the treadmill for about 12 days to get 10,000 miles. There are testing facilities that you can hire for this.
And it shall be called "Sproing" and will glow when orcs are near, or when elven ears can detect the musical stylings of "Jump Around" by House of Pain
Well in the picture it shines, being made of metal and all (and being a rendering it looks extra shiny) , and since they have to paint it anyway for corrosion protection it may end up actually looking like that if they go with blue. In reality I kinda doubt they would choose blue, since black and transparent paint would give a more office approved look.
Never buy luggage with anything less than 50000 tested wheel miles. You never know if it might fall out the back of a truck and get dragged several thousand miles to your destination.
Okay, but for real the spring suspension could be great for a rolling cart or something in my garage for jumping over extension cords or standing mats.

It shines bright like a diamond.
Which is to say, it doesn't glow at all, but merely reflects light.

I only buy luggage that's been tested at mach 1.2 or higher. You know, in case it falls out the back of the plane. And safety factor.

You think they'd say something like "wheel reinvented" if it weren't truly revolutionary, pun intended?

We had a baby stroller with similar wheels, they where indeed great. You could turn and push the thing with one finger.
