Adidas wants you to run on computation

Adidas is launching a "smart shoe" next December that modifies its support and responsiveness properties in real-time based on performance.

Each second, a sensor in the heel can take up to 20,000 readings
and the embedded electronic brain can make 10,000 calculations,
directing a tiny electric motor to change the shoe. The goal is
to make the shoe adjust to changing conditions and the runner's
particular style while in use.

"What we have, basically, is the first footwear product that can
change its characteristics in real time," said Mr. DiBenedetto,
who led the group that created the shoe, of its ability to adapt
its cushioning as the wearer runs.
