Your Smelly Ass Feet Are Killing the Planet

Your feet? They smell like a baboon's butthole. Especially at the gym. So, the brilliant dudes at places like Nike and Adidas have started lining their socks with nano-bits of silver to fight microbials and the intense funk radiating from your tootsies. It works (woohoo), but every time you wash them, some of the particles inevitably come loose from the sock and flush down the drain, ultimately winding up in local waterways. Where they poison fishies. To death. Not cool. In conclusion, have less stinky feet, thanks. [American Chemical Society via io9]

Samsung miCoach (F110) Fitness Phone Reviewed

A partnership between Adidas and Samsung has resulted in the miCoach (F110) cellphone—a device that promises an experience akin to " having your own personal coach with you on every run." Obviously, there are plenty of gadgets out there that can play MP3s, develop workout plans, monitor your heart rate and help you achieve your fitness goals, but this is the first time all of this functionality has been crammed into a cellphone. It sounds intriguing as an all-purpose workout aid, but the question is, does it work? According to the folks at Pocket-lint, the answer is yes—with a caveat or two. More »

The Adidas Phone (With Help From Samsung)

If we told you to picture a phone with the Adidas branding on it, would you picture something spectacular, or something more along the lines of a 2-megapixel slider with FM radio, MP3 player and an EDGE connection? Right. At least the phone, manufactured by Samsung, has actual sport functionality with a pedometer and heart-rate meter. With that kind of equipment, this phone could have been a Nike+iPod Sport Kit and a cellphone all in one—something we're still eagerly awaiting. [GSMHelpDesk via Crunchgear]

Adidas Opens First Store with Virtual Shopping Mirrors

Too lazy to try on a new pair of shoes? The Adidas Shop in Paris, France is the first store to roll out virtual shopping mirrors. In a nutshell, these mirrors let you select the shoes you want to "try on" and thanks to the cameras inside the mirrors, they merge the image of your feet/legs with the shoes you've selected, so you can "virtually" try them on. I think the concept is cool, but I'd be more concerned over the fit than how they look. More »

World Cup Ball More Advanced Than Your PC

The World Cup finally started today with Germany and Costa Rica providing one of the better opening matches in recent memory. The official ball of the tournament, the Adidas Teamgeist (or "team spirit," which is unbelievably lame), is packed to the seams with well-researched hi-tech goodness. More »

Shoes Straight from the World of Tron

Why hide your nerdiness from the world when you can walk around town in shoes inspired by that movie of movies, Tron? From Addidas and available in the UK for £65 (about $122), these shoes—officially called The Stan Smith Comfort—won't give you special superpowers or anything, but then again, neither will that "Pwned!" shirt that you constantly wear. Apparently, the tongue shows a picture of Tron and the evil Master Control Programmer on the footbed, but you wouldn't know it from the pictures that Adidas supplied. More »

Adidas Xbox 360 Kiosk

With every passing day in Japan I see more eviden that Microsoft might have got it right this time around. There is a fair amount of hype, Microsoft seems more committed to the Japanese market (example: the Xbox Lounge) and they are employing the clever tactic of making as much of a fanfare about the improved Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XI as possible, which will drag in a good chunk of hardcore gamers like wide-eyed primates to the monolith.
