Like Headphones For Your Feet: External Shoe Speakers

December 11, 2012 / conceptual, different strokes for different folks, hmm, i can't wait till everyone on the bus has these and i'm finally motivated enough to buy a car, i don't get it but i don't get most things so that's nothing new moving along, music, music for pets, shoes, speakers, those beats are so fresh, who am i to judge i'm just a guy who invented a fanny pack speaker system that sounded great in theory but was a financial disaster, why not

These are the conceptual Sneaker Speakers designed by Ray Kingston. They're Bluetooth enabled, battery powered external speakers that can be worn over a shoe. Why anybody would need music coming from their ankles is beyond me, but maybe some folks have REALLY short friends. Me? My only friend is the sock I drew a face on. "The one you put on your wiener and pretend to talk to?" You know about that? "You get drunk and ramble a lot." That I do, that I do. Here's a picture of my shoes this morning. Full disclosure: I have no clue what that stain is and I don't WANT to know what it is. "Looks like it might have come from another man's sock puppet." I'm going to burn them on my balcony as soon as my upstairs neighbor leaves for work.

Thanks to cancan, who agrees the best shoe accessories are those laces that look like wound up curly fries at the ends. I love those!

    Concerts: they're expensive, and a lot of times security will still try to kick you out for smoking weed. Thankfully, intrepid Geekologie Reader Gary Katz (best known for his Apple Store diorama and visual history of Apple products -- I think he might be a fanboy) came up with... / Continue →

    February 26, 2010
    Solid Alliance's 'Crazy Earphones' are just that: f***ing crazy. They come in styles like "mushroom", "katana through your head", "arrow through your head" and "extra ears" and will set you back around $22 a set. But what's $22 for a pair of poor quality ear-buds that'll make... / Continue →

    Maybe if my ears were a little closer to my feet, I'd like these but unless those have some monsterous sound comming outta them I doubt you'd be able to hear shit all walking down a busy street.

    in my old age of 30 I've become crotchety and ill tempered. I would rip the foot off of anyone playing music out of their shoes. Its like when kids play their music out of their phones on the bus. This is not the eighties, that is not a ghetto blaster, you are not the Electric Boo-Ga-Loo. Put on some damn headphones. I dont even care if I can hear your music through your headphones, at least you're not just assuming I want to be listening to gangster rap and 8am on my way to work--

    Excuse me for a moment, the neighbors' kids' Frisbee just landed in my yard. I have to go add it to my collection

    Get a car = not putting up with strangers' bullshit on public transit systems.

  • Anybody who wore these I may have to kick them in the ankles, repeatedly.

    Kinda reminds me of Megaman's shoes (feet?)

  • Paul Parten

    Dude, I'm going to buy a pair JUST because of that. Walk down the street pumping some "Protomen" and "The Megas" with my blue-bomber hoodie on.
