Adidas on Friday began selling the first model of its so-called intelligent footwear, a white and gold running shoe known simply as the Adidas-1, which is built around an onboard microprocessor. The shoes retail for about $250.
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.
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 !!!
