Virgin America is getting into the sneaker game with a pair of "First Class" sneakers that come fully equipped with a video display screen, built in USB ports and its own wi-fi hot spots- data plan not included. Yes, we're talking about a sneaker here.
Developed by US creative agency Eleven Inc., the Virgin America First Class shoe isn't self-lacing like the equally futuristic Nike Mag, but it can charge your smartphone just in case you've got a pick-up game at 6 but need to hop on a conference call at 8.
The shoe itself was designed to mimic Virgin America's first-class cabin with its white Italian leather, seat belt accessory and video monitor on the tongue.
