OMG! Has anyone seen these??

Adidas 1 809700 $350.00





Adidas Women's Shoes

809700 - Adidas 1

the worlds first intelligent shoe uses a microprocessor that is capable of processing 20,000 sensor readings per second in order to adjust the cushion based on the running surface and provide you with a smooth ride.
Three years in the making the adidas one is a celebration of innovation.
I used to run. All the time.
Now? Notsomuch.
I'm still a runner, though.
Life is fluid and ever changing. I am too.

I think this is one of those products that a company "releases" to create Brand Buzz, even though they know they'll never actually sell any. Creates a conversation...

You are right, but Holy Crap! Do they ever look neat!
And I love "Gucci" shoes! (expensive and pretty, kinda like me :wink: )

I can never make the pictures work.
But I found the pic at the Running Room site.
They are pretty...

Dani---shhhh :wink: Don't give away the secret to my success.

I mean the fact that I am the best looking man in the artillery, chief dishwasher/ laundrymaid, and now becoming a fine runner, once I gave her the chocolate she had no chance whatsoever....

I've seen this type of chocolate fondue in Paris but on a smaller scale, good for 4-8 people.

On a related note, there was a story in either the Globe & Mail or the Winnipeg Free Press last summer (2004) about one of the engineers that worked on the design of that shoe was either a grad of U of Manitoba Engineering or was there on a research exchange program; so another case of the Canadian talent making cool things :-)
