"Talk this waaay"... - by Run DMC and Aerosmith. Are some of the most memorable and magical music videos in my 1980's MTV watching era. Speaking as a proud product of Generation X,,, it was somthing about the baseline and those kick-ass adidas shoes that made it so cool to me, and then there was Steven Tyler. Check out the video here to see what I mean:

Well, today I found another something special that I that resinates really well with me.. or at least my feet.
Lechal are sleek, futuristic smart shoes that can help
people find their way. Pronounced lay-chull or "take me along" or in
Hindi, is the world's first interactive haptic footwear. The
wireless-enabled shoes or insoles have sensors in the footbed that enable them
to send and receive Bluetooth signals, providing a link to Google Maps. The designers
say this enables travelers, runners, adventurous, or visually impaired to keep
on their intended path through vibrations in the left or right shoe which indicate
a desired path. In addition, these gems supply online information about caloric
expenditure and distance traveled, calories burned, or keep you on pace by
buzzing your feet if you start slack off the ol' pitter patter.
I want some. And I can't dancing in my chair.
