At SXSW, Google introduces the annoying, talking smart sneaker

This isn’t a real product Google is producing, but it’s just a concept of the future of interconnected web-enabled fashion.

Using an accelerometer, a gyroscope, Bluetooth and some other off the shelf technologies, the Talking Shoe translates the wearer’s movements into funny, motivating and timely commentary. The things it says can be posted to Google+ by the user, sent to real-time ad units, if the user chooses to, and broadcast via onboard speakers. It can talk to the world and to the web. Every move the user makes generates data that’s captured using an accelerometer, gyroscope and pressure sensors. That data then gets pushed to a web app on your mobile phone and translated in real-time into funny and motivating commentary. That commentary then gets pushed to banners and social media, creating new, interesting content in the digital world from something happening live in the physical one.

Reebok’s new all-terrain shoe wants to put nipples on your shoe, because nipples

Aiming to capture the essence of an all-terrain vehicle, Reebok has collaborated with UFC fighter Rampage Jackson to introduce the ‘ATV 19+’ training shoe. featuring irregular lugs, rugged overlays, a padded tongue and supportive collar for protection and comfort, the footwear implements high-speed stability and elevated traction with its distinctive design.

Also, shoe nipples.

Metallica shoes that play a clip of Lars Ulrich speaking with every step

I used to be quite a fan of Metallica. In the beforetime, before they fucked everything up, but even in the height of my Metallica fandom, I don’t think I would have run out to get a pair of Metallica sneakers that quote Lars Ulrich whenever you walk. Okay, maybe. It was high school and okay, yeah probably. But not now.

Adidas is officially shitcanning those horrible sneakers

Thank god. After way too much internet outrage, Adidas issued an official statement saying it was pulling the shoes with the orange shackles, saying that it was the work of one whimsical designer and they had absolutely no intentions whatsoever of relating the shoes to slavery.

Adidas accused of invoking slavery with its new shoes, but the fact is that they’re just fucking hideous

Adidas recently announced a new pair of mid-top sneakers, which wouldn’t be normally that big of a deal except that these shoes, the JS Roundhouse Mids come with plastic orange shackles on them, and that’s got people’s panties in a bunch, claiming that Adidas is promoting and honoring slavery. I doubt they were thinking slavery, but someone should still be fired for designing these shoes just because they’re ugly as hell.

Geek fashion of the day: Portal test subject Converse

Sadly, these aren’t for sale, but if you’re into customizing Chucks, I imagine this is one of the easier paint jobs to do.

CES 2012: SpnKiX motorized shoes are the shoes of the future

At CES, who wants super thin TVs or tablets or netbooks when you can have motorized shoes? Similar to strap on roller skates, you wear SpnKiX over your regular shoes and use a handheld remote to propel yourself up to 10 miles per hour. Walking is so 20th century.

Vans waffle sole iPhone case better become a real thing, dammit

Currently, this isn’t a real product, but supposedly it will be a real product in the next few weeks. I’m not really a fan of phone cases, but I would get this one in a fucking heartbeat.
