What a clever idea.

The latest Adidas shoe, called '1', is shown here in Portland, Ore., Thursday, May 6, 2004, during its' introduction at the company's U.S. headquarters. The shoe is equipped with a microprocessor capable of making five million calculations per second to adjust heel cushioning. It can turn firm for off-road, trail running and then soften up when it hits the pavement.

crazy shit

Great my shoe crashed.

Retarded

and where are the "jetsons" cars we were promised in the fifties? damn it, they tease us with these fucking sneakers, but nooooooooooo flying cars:(

.... $500?

Can I get my email on that shit...no wait...that's all I need is spam in meh shoes. Nevermind. Continue.

Indeed. Useless innovation #2 for tonight.

The shoe will cost $400 and will break within a month. Stupid fuckin gimmicks.

That probably means you can't get on an international flight with those shoes on with clearing customs. Might be considered too powerful a CPU to allow its export :)

Screw the computer shoes.. I want FLYING CARS!!!

lolol

If its powered by Microsofts Sneakers XP you might be right.


:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Adidas tech support how can I help you?

LOL, I bet they won't even let you on the plane if one of the baffoon security people sees those on your feet.

Worse they'll probably go to Code 3 thinking you've got a bomb wired in them.

Adidas XP Bios Patch V1.2

Sorry, APPLE makes our internal shoe batteries, so they only last for 18 months, and cannot be replaced. You'll have to buy a new one sir.

5 Mil calcs per sec = 5Mhz perhaps... that's soooo 1980. :Graucho

USB? IR port? 802.11g?

Most of the PC's in the space shuttle run on 1980's IBM equipment.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Haha, if they were smart they should have put a microdrive in there and a wireless feature to load in your MP3's while you're jogging.

And then it's this great big mystery when one of em blows the fuck up...

LOL, worst part is I can really see this happening :)

That's why they crash and blow up.. Same with airliners.

:Graucho

Do they still work when the batteries are flat ?

These really are useless.

I know, due to the components' resistivity to spacial interference. :thumbsup

Better yet if its powered by M$ will my face will light up with the blue screen of death while jogging down the street.

Seems like a fad type of idea. Regular sneakers and Nike Air still work well. What happens if one shoe dies but the other goes strong, will it be all fucked up?

YES! I seen Burton jackets with built-in MP3 players before. They should flawlessly integrate... :thumbsup

You know... I went to a RUNNER's shoe store a few weeks ago... they carried ONE pair of pink "boing" Nike Shox in the whole store. I asked if it was a bad shoe for real runners -- the person told me that it wasn't a BAD shoe per se, but WAY overpriced and that they didn't want to screw their customers over. They just had the one female SHox there, because the demand was so high.

Same with this shoe, it will be mighty expensive and a big hype will exist. But true advantages to real runners? I think not.

That's an awesome shoes! that probably worth
a fortune!

I gotta get me some of those.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Crazy stuff indeed:glugglug

Yeah, I want a flying car too. Although some company did investn one, but theres only like 3 of them in the world and they're over $1 million. :2 cents:

Wow... That's just... wow....

Nice...

:1orglaugh microsoft is working on the bugs still in microshoeXP

expect a patch later this week :winkwink:

Just another toy I gotta have :thumbsup

I hope it's waterproof (the casing with the chip, that is).

No wonder I can't jog a marathon!

thats a kick ass idea.

now there's an idea!

wanna float me a loan so i can start up a sneaker company?

:Graucho

thats cool

thats a shitty idea

Yep, you will be standing barefoot for at least 3 minutes before every flight.


Wait.. it's like that already.

:1orglaugh

pity it looks crap then lol

Kind of cool idea.. but those particular ones look like hell.

I hear you have to change the batteries every 100 hrs too.

*Running away from the cops..* Oh shit.. MY SHOES ARE OUT OF JUICE!

I wonder what will they come up with next.
