Adidas_1

By now, many of you have probably seen the incredibly imaginative and cool Spike Jonze spot for the new Adidas_1.

And you might have read something about this hi-tech running shoe that features a small processor and an on-board motor to continually adjust the cushioning level of the shoe as you run.

But until Josh Rubin's review of the sneaker, I hadn't heard from anyone who had actually tried the shoe out.



Josh seems to dig the shoe and claims that despite all the technology, the best part about the shoe is just that it feels comfortable. The price point is still too high for me, as I am not a die hard runner by any means - but I'm sure eventually the price might come down on this technology. Will this lead to basketball shoes that actually help cushion your landing by sensing when you leave the ground? Or just ugly and pointless rip offs, a la the Pump sensation. We'll have to wait and see - although Josh claims that more colorways and a women's version are on the way from Adidas.
