change easily into ½ scale models of the popular sneaker brand.

These
geeky CD-ROM Shoes can play data CDs or audio CDs on the go! With an
integrated CD-ROM, a volume control knob and speakers, it’s an updated

audible boom-box style systems on the go. An outdated concept?
Probably. But that only increases this geeky fashion’s entrance into
geekdom.
