Nike Patents Back to the Future II Style Sneaker

A few weeks back we posted about a homemade pair of Back to the Future II style sneakers which were controlled through an Arduino microcontroller. The premise was good and so was the effort, but the motor on the back of the shoes was just too much of an eyesore to be practical. But we might be seeing a much prettier version, a version you won’t be ashamed to show off for your friends, sometime soon. Nike has patented the... Continue reading

Tweeting Shoes

Even if these shoes didn’t tweet, they’d be awesome just for the fact that they brand the image of the Twitter bird. I love that little guy. But factor in that these Rambler shoes actually send a wireless signal via Bluetooth, listing data about your walking speed and pressure, through your mobile phone and straight to your Twitter feed, and you’ve got a really techy pair of geek sneakers on your hands. Or on your feet rather. Not that anyone... Continue reading

These Blaze Pentium 1.0 Sneakers probably have a better processing speed than my PC. Designed by Gabriel Dishaw, these 15 pound shoes took three weeks to perfect. The Intel Pentium-inspired sneakers are currently for sale and are shipped with an equally awesome carrying case.

Realistic Sneakers Made Out of Paper

This is some extreme papercrafting. David Brownings created these pretty realistic-looking kicks using nothing but colored paper. I’d actually rock them if I knew they’d last longer than a few steps.

Wonder Woman Reebok Sneakers

I can’t be too sure whether these are women’s exclusive or if dudes can rock these bad boys as well. I don’t care how queer it might sound, I would totally rock a pair of these. I’d rock them like a hurricane. I’d rock them like a lobster. I’d rock them like Zeppelin. You get the point? Even if they were only woman sizes, I’d get a size 15 pretend and I didn’t know. If rocking these Wonder Woman Reeboks... Continue reading
