NTT energy- generating shoes useful and totally ugly

The guys over at NTT in Japan have designed a pair of power-packing shoe. The shoes store up energy as you walk. A nifty concept, for sure. Not so nifty? They look like a hurricane just tore through them.

Now, us techies aren’t prone to flairs of fashion, but these things are ridiculous. I adamantly refuse to wear energy-generating shoes until it’s safe that I would be laughed at as I walk down the street. Well, not for that anyway. There is a whole host of other reasons why I could be laughed at. Sigh.

Here’s a link to more information.
