You know you want a pair of these sneaker speakers!

I'm going to go outside, find a hipster kid and punch him in the face.
 
Interesting choice of "cabinet" but, from in a decor sense, the wood clashes with the white sneakers and the cables connected in the side was a poor choice when they could have gone with the mouth of the shoe. All in all, this is the kind of speaker that I imagine Justin Bieber having on his desk.

I demand stiletto IEMs!
 
EDIT: I will admit, very fun to say "sneaker speaker" outloud-- try it!

If you don't break them in, will you get blisters?

I think the wood and white sneakers go quite well together in a Banksy avant-garde sort of way. I understood the side cable connection was for ease of access.
 
I suppose technically they're upside down but I wonder how they sound?
 
Perhaps you need to break them in before burning in...

My sides are still hurting! Hahaha

This is probably a prime cause of toe jam.

There are too many zingers being had in this thread!

 

[KuKuBuKu]

But will it blend?

All I can think about is how the flexible casing is going to dampen everything!

What next?
 
 

I had to laugh when I read about these new sneakers (trainers not chocolate bars to us UK folk). Dada (that well known footwear manufacturer that I’ve never heard of) are releasing a new kind of sneaker called CODE M that incorporates an MP3 player and speakers.
The CODE M range integrates the electronics in the shoe’s heel and tongue, music is then streamed to the wireless headphones. It has a range of 30 feet so you could effectively listen to the music whilst somebody else is wearing the shoes (why you’d want to do this is anybodies guess). The shoes also have an external speaker on the side so that you can share your music with people around you.
I’m all for wacky gadgets but I just can’t see these taking off, I don’t want to be tied to one pair of trainers if I want to listen to music on the move and plugging a USB cable into my shoe just seems silly. I was going to argue that I wear-out shoes and trainers on a 6 monthly basis but as I also upgrade my music player at least as frequently that wouldn’t really be in issue

They sound better with the Dr. Scholl's mod.
