Glowing Three-Inch Heels: The Adult Version of Light-Up Sneakers [Geek Fashion]
Last Updated on Wednesday, 10 March 2010 12:20 Written by admin Wednesday, 10 March 2010 12:20
As a kid I had a pair of Barbie sneakers that lit up with every step. Sadly those aren’t made in adult shoe sizes, so I’ll have to settle for something like these slinky illuminated heels. These shoes came from the minds of Rodarte, a two-sister design team, and are a beautiful example of how wearable tech can be integrated into our lives and into our three-inch heels. Now can someone tell me where I can get a pair? [ High Snobette via Fashion In Tech ]

The World Cup Goes High-Tech [World Cup]
Last Updated on Sunday, 28 February 2010 04:00 Written by Cedric Price Sunday, 28 February 2010 04:00
From the ball to special uniforms that make you jump higher, this year’s World Cup could very well be the most techie soccer tournament the world’s ever seen. The ball, for example (called the Jabulani, fyi), isn’t stitched together—it’s thermally bonded. It’s also the roundest ball ever created for a World Cup. Last I checked it was about $140 and available to the public, so get Googlin’ if you want to kick around a near perfect, leak proof sphere. Those uniforms I mentioned? Somehow, thanks to specially designed Adidas “TechFit” crisscrosses in the back, they allegedly help a player increase vertical leap, speed, endurance and power by anywhere from 0.8 to 4 percentage points throughout a match. Sounds like snake oil to me, but that could just be jealousy talking since I didn’t have access to the tech during my team’s 11-3 drubbing yesterday afternoon. You can see the shirt on number 8 in this video: Even the shoes got an overhaul for South Africa this year. Looking more like carbon fiber inserts on my friend’s Audi A5 than soccer boots, they’re light, streamlined and contain something called a Powerspine. Again, there’s more Adidas witchcraft at play here, but they promise the spine reduces the chance of an ACL injury. Nothing wrong with that. [ CrunchGear ]

Evening Reading: Hypothetically Delayed

I rolled my eyes along with all the other fans at today’s revelation that Gran Turismo faced yet another delay . We’ve gotten familiar with missed release dates in general but have you ever stopped to consider what you would do in their shoes? Sitting here considering that question the only truth I hit on was that each case presents its own unique situation. Take Gran Turismo for instance. For starters, developer Polyphony Digital has cornered themselves into trying to recreate an incredible mountain of cars and tracks in the game. From outside appearances I’ve had the impression for a while that the game could have been wrapped up in number of months once a hard lock on what would be included was made. I like to think I’d have had the restraint to make that call long ago and shipped the game; being a car nut myself I can’t say that with certainty. I’ll leave Duke alone because we’re all well enough familiar w…
