They look like part of a Power Rangers halloween costume.

But I suppose that's the point.

they look like something a 5 year old would wear, with all the flashing lights, bells and whistles

Do they have any Dr. Scholl's?

 

[Charon]

Idiocy.

 

[Kahaih]

Idiocy.

Of course, that's where the money is. Think of all the people raking in the cash by selling the baby Jesus that never was.

Remember the nineties when someone---I forgot who...Rebok?---was selling "The world's first intelligent sneaker"?

Imagine that. An intelligent shoe. Gotta be real smart to buy that.

Yes, digital clothes are becoming a thing with NFT now.

For that kind of money, they should make them invisible to make them harder to steal.

Complete madness.

See the wrong fucking people have money! It took me over a year to get a goddamned pair of gym shoes because I can only wear New Balance (odd width issue and new balance is the only one that carries it) And even then I had to buy it and I don't particularly like them wanted a cross trainer and ended up with a walking shoe (there is a difference)

They look like garbage!
