Motorized 'iShoes' to Get Around Town

by Evan Shamoon on February 4, 2008 at 10:11 AM




Meant, presumably, for rich high-school nerds with a hankering for more wedgies, the iShoes make the Segway look cool as ice. Essentially motorized shoes, the iShoes came from the mind of Ilya Kaganovich who, "on a trip to New York, thought of a new way to get around town: motorized shoes," according to the iShoes site." Luckily, Kaganovich's brother, Boris, is an aerospace engineering student, and was able to help develop prototypes for the iShoes, which are now, believe it or not, a reality.

So here we are: The iShoes cost 600 bones and wedgies are up 800%.

Nobody wins here, people.
