new adidas shoe with a computer in it

GoingUp

anyone see the new shoe with a computer in it? its called the adidas-1 and it adjusting the cushioning of your shoe on the fly..
 
Yeah it was in Popular Science last year as one of the tech toys of the year. It's only something like $225 which is pretty reasonable, all things considered.
 
yeah, apparently it does actually provide a noticeable difference, but only for heavy heel strikers. I'll take my $75 NB 765s which work just fine for me, thanks 🙂

REASONALBLE!?!?!?!?
Hell the last time I paid for shoes was 3 years ago and paid $8 for a pair of Walmart specials in size 15 and they still are not worn out. I couldnt amagine paying $200+ or even $30+ for a pair of shoes and consider it to be reasonalble 😛

They are all made at the same Chineese Sweat shop anyway.

New Balance shoes are made in the US and are worth every penny.

I used to think like that until I started running. I decided to upgrade to asics. I bought discontinued ones for $40. Oh man! do they make a big difference, sooos comfortable. Well worth the extra money i spent on it. . . .sometimes you just can't go cheap, like steak =)

That commercial rocks. FWIW it was directed by Spike Jonze and the singer in the song is Karen O. of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
