Dada Mp3 footwear - Mp3 player shoe -

 

Dada footwear, today launched a new wireless footwear system called ‘Code M’ at the World Shoe and Accessories show.  LL International’s President and CEO Lavetta Willis called the Code M System “a revolutionary step forward in the way people will use and think about their footwear in the future.” The Code M System is a proprietary, patent-pending wireless technology application for footwear that delivers both audio and data.

You can get refrigerators with TVs in them these days, so perhaps Dada's new Code M mp3-playing basketball shoes—the first in their Wireless Footwear System—aren't too ridiculous. They can broadcast your music to your wireless headphones if you want to keep your music to yourself, or play your music over the built-in speakers in the shoes if you want others to hear them.

Dada's site doesn't say how good the shoe sound will be (presumably stereo) or how large the memory will be (only that the shoe will store up to 100 songs), and there's no indication of release date, but the SRP is $199.99. We emailed in to ask about getting a test unit for review, we'll let you know if Code M is for real or vaporware.
