Re: Check out these Kick's

What does the "brain" actually do? What's its function?

Wonder if it's powered by Microsoft...I can only imagine having to take them off frequently to reboot them if they are.

Re: Check out these Kick's

I'm serious. Does anyone have any clue why you would spend money on a shoe with a brain?

Re: Check out these Kick's

it automatically and continually adjust itself to a runner's size, pace, terrain and even fatigue level.

The Adidas 1 uses a sensor, a microprocessor and a motorized cable system to automatically adjust the shoes' cushioning. The sensor under the heel measures compression and decides whether the shoe is too soft or firm. That information is sent to the microprocessor and, while the shoe is in the air, the cable adjusts the heel cushion.

F that. I want my smart shoes to be able to like, tie themselves, and help me with my homework.

Re: Check out these Kick's

If i were to get smart shoes, I'd want ones exactly like those which Michael J. Fox wore in Back to the Future II. They'd clean themselves and tie themselves. This is what I want. I also want his hoverboard though.

Re: Check out these Kick's

But those are nice...except I don't have anything to match the gold.

BZZZT! There goes your $200.

THAT's what happens when they get wet.






Not worth the cash, IMO. It's a pair of shoes.

Looks cool though. I just can't handle shoes that are smarter than me.
