Adidas Intelligent Shoe

[thatpfunk]

Most important question- does anyone know the song that is playing in the commercial?

Commercial is, black guy with little 'fro get out of bed and is jogging in the dark. With each stride his shoes light his way. Song lyrics go something like: "Whenever I wake up, try to..?" Soft girls voice singing.

Not quite as important, has anyone tried the shoes on? Reviews? Also, how much are they?

[Jack of Arcades]

It's sung by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Thanks. Definetly one of my favorite commercials. It looks like the song was made just for the commercial. Unfortunate, I wanted to get a hold of it.

it's supposed to be released on itunes soon. the song was made by spike jonze's brother, with karen o singing. spike jonze created the commercial. at home i have links to where you can download the full (90 sec.) version of the commercial. with some googlign though you should be able to find it no problem.

It's got a microchip in it that adjust the cushioning depending on your foot's architecture (word?) and pressure from whatever surface you happen to be on. Basically it's the novelty of the Reebok pump, with the price tag of a computer shoe.

That song makes me want to commit suicide.

I hate that stupid song. After like 2 viewings its impossible not to have the words memorized and the urge to sing along.

According to the Adidas website:
Contains microprocessors capable of making 5 million calculations per second- It understands and adapts to give you the level of cushioning depending on your environment- concrete, grass, brick, etc.

Semi-cool website (http://www.adidas.com/campaigns/adidas_1/content/usindex.asp?strCountry_adidascom=us&amp;strBrand_adida scom=performance)

I'd like to try on a pair, see how they feel.

I guess the new reebok intelligent shoe is supposed to do that... I don't think I'd want that though- What if the computer thinks your shoes should be tighter or looser than you like?

It makes me feel peaceful. Maybe your blood pressure is too high from 37 tabling.

i got a 91 second version and also a 4 minutes 4 second version, the longer version isnt any more spectacular, just a lot of silent time in between

[thatpfunk]
