Oh dear lord:



When the athlete steps down, an airbag inside the heel deflates causing air to flush out of the shoe and through the wheel, thus making it spin. When the athlete lifts his foot up, air comes back into the airbag and the wheel stops.

Last month, I made a prediction that blow off valves will be incorporated into footwear within the year. Well there's no WOOSH sound coming from these things, but it's the same principle of moving air around every time you step up or down.

Well perhaps later this year we'll see some blowoff valve shoes but until than this is the next best thing. I know all the "ricers" and "ballers" are going to drool over these things.

Note: I am not advocating these shoes, just speculating.
