Those are pretty cool. I really dont think it will be too long before something like that becomes mainstream (but a whole lot smaller) and we look back at those prototypes and think "wow - we actually wore those!"

Besides, this is old news. Doesnt anyone remember the L.A. Gear Catapult shoes!! I wanted those things sooooo bad :)

[thoriphes]

it would be quite a fall should those things get caught on something. those look pretty cool though.

Well, if you want to walk down the High Street looking a total dork... :P

I have yet to see anyone actually wearing these things in public... :)

[thoriphes]

Kit, what do you think they thought about the "car" when it first came out? ;) or that stupid scooter that drives around when you lean forward?

[Kitiara]

That <i>is</i> a stupid scooter. :P Jeremy Clarkson managed to crash it into a whiteboard...

Where's the V6? Where's the Turbo Charger? :P
