A luggage article (100) may include a plurality of walls (102,104,106,108,110,112) together defining an outer structure (105) of the luggage article (100), a wheel bracket (134) attached to and extending from one of the walls (102,104,106,108,110,112), and one or more wheels (132) attached to the wheel bracket (134). The wheel bracket (134) may comprise a leaf spring (136) having a loop-shaped profile and the one or more wheels (132) may be rotationally attached to a lower end of the loop-shaped leaf spring (136). The configuration of the wheel bracket (134) may result in higher shock absorption and reduced wheel noise comparative to conventional wheel brackets, and offer an improvement and alternative to conventional luggage wheel brackets.
