Nike WiFi Dunks...ASRD (A Step in the Right Direction)

[fang bian mian]

Courtesy of Engadget:

Get ready to pay atelier sneaker prices for these babies, because designer MSTRPLN (not to be confused with MSTRKRFT) and Ubiq (not to be confused withUbiquio) teamed up to produce some straight black Nike Dunks with built-in WiFi detection. It'scalled A Step in the Right Direction, and we might actually agree.

A Step in the Right Direction is a sneaker based wearable technology project designed by mstrpln in collaboration with Ubiq boutique.

The idea of footwear was pushed further by converging elements of digital culture with fashion and design into a wearble technology. The end product is a sneaker designed to detect Wi-Fi wireless internet hot-spots wherever the user may roam, with every step.


I'll be sticking with my iPhone and Stumbler software personally.

Someone needs to do some serious personnel restructuring in the R&D dept. over @ Nike

It dropped 2 years ago.
It was a concept technology project developed between myself and Ubiq to push the idea of footwear further converging design and technology.
