Pioneer shoes to brighten up your way with Kinetic powered LED backlight

By Andrew | April 3, 2008

I always have to carry a torch every time I go jogging early in the morning or for that post dinner stroll, just to avoid tripping and falling in the dark. And I’m sure this would be a concern for many like me. So, finally some designers namely Feijun Chen & Bin Zhao have heard the far cry and designed these uber cool running shoes fitted with glowing LEDs on their heads.
are cool as they light up your path as you walk and the best part is that they don’t require any cells but their battery gets charged your kinetic energy as you walk.
Talk about the intensity of light and the sLEDs boasts of lighting up an area five feet in front of you, now that’s enough a brightness to give you a clear idea of the way ahead and keep you safe.
And if that was not enough, there’s another perk not for you but the person following you. Together with the head light, the Pioneer shoes have a stylish green taillight too.
The concept seems really helpful both in terms of utility as well as cost-effectiveness.
