America can literally run on Dunkin’ with these new shoes

TwitterFacebook

Coffee isn’t the only workout fuel Dunkin’ has to offer— they have shoes now, too. 

The classic shoe brand Saucony has once again collaborated with Dunkin’ on a pair of branded running shoes. In preparation for the Boston Marathon on April 15, the coffee company is serving up a colorful take on Saucony’s Kinvara 10 shoe design for the second year in a row.

Nike just bricked its self-lacing shoes by accident

TwitterFacebook

This is the future we deserve. 

Owners of the newly released $350 Nike app-connected Adapt BB self-tying shoes have taken to the Google Play store to complain that an update left their fancy kicks bricked. That’s right, the self-lacing shoes reportedly no longer connect to the accompanying app — essentially transforming them into regular old shoes (buttons on the side of the shoes means you can still tie them). And people are pissed. 

Here’s how, according to a press release, the shoes are supposed to work: An internal “advanced power-lacing system” combines with an “app and continually updated firmware” to tie and untie your footwear. The app lets you choose your perfect fit, and the shoe adjusts to your foot’s changing size as it theoretically swells throughout a basketball game. Again, that’s how it’s supposed to work.  Read more…

What’s with people in Netflix original movies wearing shoes IN BED?

TwitterFacebook

I’m sorry to break it to you all, but Netflix has some seriously bad manners.

It’s come to light that in more than one Netflix original film, a character is seen straight up hopping on a bed without first removing their dirty shoes, which is SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE.
