Adidas_1's shoeputer

What will they come up with next... have a look at these shoes.

Linky

Complete with gearbox and microprocessor but I haven't worked out if they require a battery(that can be replaced).

What do you think? I reckon they don't look too bad... has gold been done on shoes before? Definetly not a common colour.

I need some new shoes, but I doubt I could get a loan large enough.

 

are they available yet, whats the damage on them?

 

fuck i want them!

 

hmm screams attention whore to me

 

lol i reckon it would actually make a difference in some sports. i want to try it out for basketball and see if it helps with my sudden changes in direction etc

 

awesome, anyone know the cost?

 

I believe there is a basketball version of the Adidas_1 technology in the works.

 

it was around the 500US mark the last time i heard i think. If it's overclockable (which it wont be) I would have considered it.

 

$450aud .

 

well i spent like $320 on the pair of shoes i got now so if there actually any good i wouldn't mind spending that sort of money on them.

 

What'd you spend 320 on?

 

I imagine they would be something similar to the propulsion boots featured in the spectacular Mario Brothers movie. Dont pretend you dont know them .

 

yeah rocket shoes! that make me fly to the moon!

nah these are what i spent $320 on. there just plain and simple. but beautiful and elegant at the same time hehe i love them.

no special fancy name crap. just nike, and on the bottom of the shoe it has nike basketball and thats it.

 

They'd want to be the most comfortable shoes going around...

How can you justify spending so much?

 

Lol, you just contridicted yourself.

 

well yes they are very comfortable, there good dress shoes, and there great basketball shoes. i play basketball every day and every other shoe i have ever had in my life have been from kmart and cost between $10 and 10.95c so when i turned 18 and had the money i decided to spoil myself.

they have lasted me 2 years now and still look just like they do in that picture.

 

Yeah i know what u mean, i do a lot of running training off and on,
those shoes look very cool, and im sure theyd work well, too bad i run cross country.... ..... .... and im too tight to buy these

 

well i brought mine a while back, i saw them in sports power for $200 on special so they have gone down a bit since i brought them.

 

The tv add for these shoes is pretty cool... won't be dropping $400 on em anytime soon tho!

 

If they had blue cathodes then i'd buy em...

I'd assume they are very good shoes, but thats a lot of money, i mean why buy shoes when you can pay some illegal immigrants to carry you around??

Heh, on a less serious note, they look pretty darn cool (even though i've never worn or advocated the wearing of nike's in my life) and it seems like a good idea. If you have the money and you actually have a need for them (long distance runs, basketball) then go for it.
