Exclusive but not a bargain: intelligent shoe

[imported_manchild]

I just got this from a friend, the adidas_1 shoe with the computer chip thing in it is available now in an online exclusive via this secret link, you can't get to it on their site any other way:

for people with tiny feet and fat wallets!

 

[imported_manchild]

looks pretty damn cool though, no one else will have these, I'm debating....

 

[LawBeefaroni]

Now athletes can blame on-field shortcomings on their shoes!

"Sorry skip but my left CPU crashed. No way I could get to that ball..."

 

[imported_manchild]

blue foot of death....

read an article on this in business week. nice shoe

 

[kgokal]

Nice of Adidas to set the standard, now all trainers will cost $200+. Just like Apple set the standard at $400...

 

[KidViciou$]

wish i could get this

 

[imported_manchild]

why can't you?

 

[Dpsypher]

I can't because they don't offer a size 12. DOH!!!


damn small footed people....

I really want to see a review of this shoe. My first impression is that its a gimmick. Its not going to make you run faster or jump higher, the only thing it'll do is make it a little bit more comfortable. It looks horrible though.

 

[imported_manchild]

I kinda like it, I just ordered a size 9.

 

[osiris3mc]

So I guess my size 14 foot aint getting a CPU...

Dang ... and My size 13's could have fitted a larger heatsink to overclock the ah heck too.

Word, word......

 

[lollirc]

Sucks donkey butt for those of us with orthodics; those of us who haven't felt padding under our heels in years.

Wonder how long the batteries would last?

Thinking about trying this for the hell of it.

The email I got said they last for about 100 hours of on-time, apparently you can turn them off when you're not using them. They come with a set of spare batteries and you can get more at radio shack. They're just standard 3v lithium coin batteries, like a watch battery but a little bigger.

Bought a pair, likes it alot, recently did bio flash with latest firmware for security update, the new security hole in the bios makes the shoe go crazy with all sorts of pop-ups.

It would be pretty cool just to try on in the store to see if they actually "work".

i'm now convinced that companies will never... in the span of the universe.. ever run out of stupid ideas to sell people more crap they don't need.

I'll be wearing these new shoes while sitting in front of my 48" LCD monitor on my AMD64-FX with 6 drive RAID and 9.9 channel surround sound........... reading my email.

 

[thesurge]

Yeah, my friend's running that and he just oc'ed it to 7.6ghz with mini-liquid nitrogen tanks. He just installed a bigger PSU and it's running like a charm. Now about those ram timings....

awww man no 12!!
