PORTLAND, Ore. - Adidas says it has created the world's first 'smart shoe' by mating it with a computer chip that adapts its cushioning level to a runner's size and stride. The Adidas 1 is the product of a three-year secret project the German company developed at its U.S. headquarters in Portland, Ore. After thousands of hours of testing, Adidas is confident the computerized shoe will endure the wear-and-tear of running in almost any condition — from hard pavement to dirt trails, and dry streets to wet beaches. But the $250 price tag is likely to make it a luxury item when it first goes on sale in December... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=562&e=19&u=/ap/adidas_smart_shoe Question Who's Online | Find Members | Private Messages
