My affinity for sneakers is well-documented, especially sneakers of the unusual and edgy variety. A Step in the Right Direction is a collaboration between Ubiq and MSTERPLN the result of which is a WiFi detecting Nike Dunk. Though the shoe is certainly a novel idea, and will likely end up selling for triple the msrp on ebay – it is totally useless. Who needs a WiFi detection device (whether on a shoe or a keychain) in 2008? My phone, computer, blueberry and flashlight all have WiFi…AND they each tell me when I have a signal – seriously.
If you wear those, we can no longer be friends.
