Code M Sneakers Include MP3 Player


A new type of sneaker, called Code M, is coming from Dada Footware in April that includes an MP3 player. Personal Tech Pipeline has the specs for the new shoe which include a storage capacity of 100 songs, a six-hour battery and a wireless headset that works using Bluetooth.
The company says the device will store 100 songs with a six-hour battery life. A USB port on the lateral side of the shoe allows downloading of music and re-charging of the battery. The wireless headset works via Bluetooth, and picks up music from the shoes as far away as 30 feet.
Sometimes a trend goes too far....and this might be one of those times. When it comes to music storage, the shoes are beat soundly by the latest iPods. The new iPods can store 15,000 songs compared to the Code M's 100 song capacity. The shoes look awfully shiny in this picture, but they still might be cool for the club scene. A second picture on Dada's website shows the shoes from a different angle and they look less blingy. Code M shoes will become available April 6 at a suggested retail price of $199.99. One thing's for sure: do not remove these shoes and leave them lying around. Because they certainly won't be there when you get back.
