Hasta La Gadget!

I’ve been waiting for this for about a year, and finally, Nike has announced the release of a sneaker that will combine Flyknit technology with a full Air Max cushioning. Now this will be one comfortable sneaker.

If you’re a runner and you like to have lots of support, or if you just like to feel the “bouncy” response of a full-sized air cushion, then you’ve probably gotten to know the Nike Air Max. Recently, Nike has worked on integrating Flyknit technology with its Lunarlon soles to create the Flyknit Air Max. Finally, they’ve combined my two favorite Nike technologies into one sneaker.

The Flyknit upper uses a single thread to weave a very lightweight shell.

This will be a very lightweight sneaker and it will be launched January 3, 2014. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Are you the kind of person that likes to share your tunes with people, no matter if they like them or hate them? Check out the Sneaker Speaker, which will allow you blast your beats wherever the go, without missing a step.

The Sneaker Speaker concept was created by Ray Kingston, and just like its name says, it’s a speaker that you wear on your sneaker. They are battery-powered as well as Bluetooth-enabled, so that you can rock out to tunes directly from your smartphone. The speakers are held in place by one or two straps, and can be moved around for optimal placement. When they aren’t being worn, the speakers can be charged up and powered by AC power – unless you have a really long extension cord, of course.

From the press release, it looks like these are a concept, at least for now. I’ll be curious to see if these get made.
