Comments on: Photos: Watch them run

Adidas' so-called intelligent footwear, a running shoe known as the "1," has a chip that senses how much cushioning a runner needs.

Is This the Future of Walking?

A waste of resources...

quite expensive

They say expected "life time" of these shoes is 100 hours !
At $250 purchase price, that $2.50 per hour - thats quite high in my opinion. I would expect $250 shoes to last more than 100 hours.

You are mistaken...

Actually, the battery has a lifetime of 100 hours and is replaceable, so in reality the life time of the shoe is much, much greater.

Not Cool At all !!!

I purchased this shoes from ebay.com couple weeks ago and now I know that I just spend way too much money for shoes which should be cool but there are not. I feel much better with my Puma Disc for which I spent only $45 + $15 S&H. Do not make my mistake !!!
