Move over Oakley Thump MP3 sunglasses. There's a new wearable MP3 system to stomp the competition.
Dada Footwear is launching a wireless footwear system dubbed, "Code M." The Code M System delivers both audio and data—through your sneakers! Say goodbye to wires and carrying an MP3 player.

The Code M System is integrated into the basketball sneaker's heel and tongue. It can hold up to 100 songs, running on a 6-hour battery life. To transfer songs onto the system, just use the USB port on the side of the shoe. To listen to your music, use the included wireless headset, which picks up the music playing from your sneakers up to 30 feet away.

Here comes the real kicker: the sneakers will also feature house speakers for listening to music out loud. (I can just imagine Michael Jordan being the spokesperson.)

If the Code M Sneakers prove successful, the company plans on expanding their line to a Get-Fit program in which you can receive workout-related data from a personal trainer's voice. It doesn't end there. The shoes may also be designed as a way to forward your phone calls to it.

I think this is a really cool idea, although I hope they're sweat-proof out on the court. I don't know how well the sound quality will be, but Dada certainly knows how to think out of the box. Hopefully they'll come out with other colors.

The Code M Sneakers will sell for $199.99 beginning in April 2006.

USB on the side what about water, sand,dirt,mud!
But I guess...its a idea, and defintly out side the box

heh i might just get me some

So.. What’s next? Ipod undies? You know that Van has some Furious Ball Boxers for sale!

I’ve always wanted me some silver sneakers!

This idea is ridiculous. I bet they don't sell 200 pairs of this nonesense.

Didn't tron have feet like that

That's just stupid.

Ya think?

I'll give them a little credit, for trying something diffrent, but ... nah, nevermind....

woa....its kool................

Stuff like this is luke warm in the states...but its hot over the sea,japan,china...

I think they are too....Chrome#24!!

i'd buy a pair just to stomp in the head of the guy who invented em instead of working on curing cancer

I gotta get me a pair of those

the idea is creative, but at the same time . . pathetic

they hot! fuck that lol they look nice tho i got dada's for ball now they cheap and nice but idk man it depends

lots of people have ideas like this, but they dont usually last at their jobs long.. idk who the hell accepted this as an idea... but they should be pushed through a soft rotten wood fence for humiliation and nothing more.

Silly idea, sure.

...but what if the shoes stored up kinetic energy of walking/running around to charge up a battery for the embedded player???

...now THAT would be a cool idea. (And, I think plausable/possible with today's tech level and also in accord with physics.)

Screw all the bells and whistles (which should only be plug-in's anyways)

Use the shoes to charge a battery. To HELL with any tied-in proprietary iPod or Microsoft hand-held or cell-phone, or other device pre-chosen by the manufacturer. (Let the shoe buyer decide how to use the battery's power that was generated by the shoe.)

cool idea that one ^^^^^^^ i mean, the shoe is just fucking ridiculous.

I am in the "this is stupid/ridiculous" camp.

oooHHHHhhhh... I bet it's April 1st.

LOL

lol

i myself like this idea...now i can finally walk to a theme song

^^ Ever see that Lugs Commercial where this guy is walking down the street and every step he takes is a beat to a hip hop song?

I can't believe this This will not go over well. Why would you even try something like this?
