Be Excellent To Each Other

Like the idea of these

Yeeeeah, they're not even sort-of possible. It's basically a prettier 419 scam.

Really? I thought these crowd funding sites did some sort of checks before people could put projects up?

Nah. Loads of crowd-funding projects don't have anything even vaguely working when they go up. Often a large amount of the money they're trying to raise is to make the thing actually work.

Having said that, flexible eInk screens exist, don't they? Isn't that what this is?

Charging up my trainers, no ta. That's one step too far for even me.

Not that flexible. And not in colour. And not with buckets of processing power that's waterproof and has a touchscreen and speaker and is in a fucking machine-washable shoe.

D'uh! They charge as you walk!

They do look good though. If it gets released I'll think about it.

Only if they get to $2million in funding.
Wireless charging at that point too! That's at least one person sold

Where you get getting the speaker and touchscreen features from? I've phrased that as a question but really I'm accusing you of making it up.

The stretch goals.

Why would anyone want this? It's fucking stupid.

Honestly if they ever get these things to work they'll have to be able to make them for £15 to sell to ten year olds because that's the only sustainable market for them.

I bet you wear grown up versions of those toddler shoes with the flashing LEDs in them too.

Can you get those?!?! Awesome!

I would like some adult versions of the ones with wheels in.

I can only assume you must be able to, in any shoe shop. Since everyone would want to wear something like that.

You seem to be in the minority here, mate.

Technology aside, I've seen the future of trainers and they look awesome. I'm going to have a picture of a big veiny cock on the front and a hairy ball either side of the shoe. Or a picture of my dog. Probably the dog picture.

Or both.

I had a pair. I used to wear them for work when I worked in a call centre.

They were ace around Tesco too!

From where could one acquire items of such awesomeness?

Just google heelys.

I'm all for doing stupid childish crap but man I wouldn't be seen dead in public with a pair of these techno clown shoes strapped to my feet.

Dog cock and balls? Yes, this could work.

PLOT TWIST! TheVision has size 3 feet

Works for Myp.

Myp has staff?

With your tiny feet you could probably just buy the kiddies ones

Heh, they actually go up to a size 8

Room to spare!

Just strap two old smartphones to each of your current shoes.

And walk into the sea.
