Mad science: Shoe fly pi
Adidas has made a running shoe with a microchip tied to a motor, ostensibly to adjust cushioning during use. This seems nuts to me.
Or perhaps just not crazy enough. If you're going to put a motor in a shoe, it should help the main mission of the shoe (moving you forwards), not just muck about with your comfort along the way. Yes, you guessed it. And the Russians have dared dream the dream: a gasoline-powered shoe. Now that's mad science.
