Looks like my next video game related purchase is going to have to be this Tony Hawk skateboard that will be available for the Wii, Playstation 3 and the XBox. This skateboard can control the entire video game and uses a “combination of accelerometers and motion sensors.” More info will be available at the official site as of June 2.

Nike Flywire Boots

Filed under: Boots, Nike, Technology


I remember when the Reebok Pumps came out and thinking that somehow pumping them up was going to help people jump higher. That clearly wasn’t the case. Now though, with these new Nike Flywire boots, it sounds as if footwear technology has developed to where it can realistically help you run faster. Interesting that some of the inspiration for this came from suspension bridges. I find the blending of technology, function and design interesting and I’m curious to see how technology continues to affect not only the performance of athletes, but how athletic gear is designed.
