Geeks want everything they use to be different from what the Crowd uses. They use unusual watches, Shirts, Sunglasses and Shoes are no different. These shoes we have included below are the coolest we have ever seen and are I am sure Geeks will love to own them. While some of them are just concepts for now, some have been in production for quite some time. These Cool Shoes look like just any typical shoe in shape, but functionally they do more than just protect your feet from dust and Pebbles.
Genius MX Boot
The Genius MX Boot is made from injection molded pieces of Hytrel and polyurethane – Materials characterized by their durability and impact resistance. Genius MX Boot protects the lower leg and foot from impacts and provides Excellent Fatigue Resistance. The polyurethane thermoplastic used in the production of this shoes gives it resistance to deformation even after being flexed thousands of times. SCOTT Pivot System-Combining Strength allows the boot to flex while retaining its solid construction. Some bootie and strap adjustments are required before twisting the throttle and this shoe can fit any individual perfectly. (More info)
Adidas Smart Shoes
These shoes called the Adidas 1 use a 20-megahertz microprocessor implanted in the sole which collects readings from the shoe’s movements and adjusts the fit of the shoe accordingly. You don’t have to think about how fit the shoes might be, just wear them and they will adjust the fit themselves. The shoe knows when you are walking, jogging, running and standing still and adjusts the Shoes in a way that makes the feet most comfortable. (More info)
Adidas Bounce:S
Porsche Design P’5510 Running Shoes is developed and designed exclusively for the Porsche Design Sport range. It is developed by Adidas and uses the Bounce:S cushioning system. The Bounce:S uses metallic springs to increase the energy return in your bounce impact providing you a more efficient walk. Unlike a sports car suspension system, the lever arms transfer the vertical impact of your stride into forward propulsion through the expansion of these coils. (More info)

Headlight Shoes
We have seen a lot of Shoes having lights at the heals and they go on when you put pressure on your heals. But, this is the first Shoe design I have seen that has a light right on the tip. The shoe is designed in such a way that it converts kinetic energy generated while walking into electrical energy. A tiny battery lying in the heels charges up with each step and keeps the headlights on for a about 12 hours, dispersing light at 1.5 meters.(More info)
CD-Rom Shoes
This cool concept shoe features an integrated CD-ROM, tweeters, a volume control knob and some speakers. The idea of putting a CD-ROM drive instead of Hard Drive or Flash memory is a bit outdated. I am so curios how it might tinckle the feet when the CD in ROM Drive is spinning. (More info)
GTX GPS Xplorer Smart Shoes
Want to keep track of anyone. Hand them these shoes and see where they are going. The GTX GPS shoes have a small GPS tracking device inside the shoe which communicates the location to a central location tracking service.

Interesting and informative content.
I just wanted to share some piece of information for those looking out to buy exercise shoes. It’s very important to shop for the right shoes without being carried away by the mirrors, lights, great displays and other such luring factors where you often tend to forget the comfort of the shoe.
Make sure you wear thick socks or those that you often wear for exercising so that you get the right size shoe. Another interesting point to notice is that our feet tend to swell a bit in the evening so buying shoes during evening is the ideal time as this will help you buy the shoe for the maximum foot size. Most important of all is don’t go by the pricing of the shoes while buying them. A high price does not always mean top quality. The price tends to be higher since the shoes are endorsed by reputed personalities. Buy your shoes based on the frequency of usage. If you are in a regular exercise routine, then you can consider extending your budget.
Wow, truly amazing. Shoes have indeed come a long ways!

Most of these are for… running? I may be wrong, but last time I checked, running and exercise were not considered especially ‘geeky’ past times. The NES shoes are cool, though.
Seems to me that they should only count if you can buy them and wear them.
