Because we don’t have enough glowing screens in our lives, now they’re on sneakers, too.

Meet ShiftWear high tops, a pair of customizable kicks decked out with curved electronic displays on their sides. With the touch of a companion mobile app, they appear to light up with undulating images and GIF-like looping animations, all in full HD color.

I'm not a sneaker head or anything. But when I saw this it caught my eye. I was curious what the asking price for something like this was and to my surprise it was reasonable starting at $150. I was a bit discouraged to see that this was being funded on Indiegogo though. I never participated in any crowd funding affairs and are hesitant after seeing many products never get to see the light of day. But I am considering giving it a go I think it would be so cool to turn heads with a pair of these.  :D -taveric

I think it's a pretty cool idea, though a tad expensive for me.

Can't wait for this to be ruined by people having porn on their shoes. Or hacked into them.

Just need a $45 /year symantec Dr.Scholls subscription and you'll be good to go.  I've found a new respect for Fred Flintstone suddenly.
