These new Adidas Megalizer sneakers prove that Nike is finally getting some hot competition on the both the campaign and shoe front. This high-tech shoe is unlike anything on the market right now. Perfect for the breakdancer and the musician, it actually makes sounds as you move.
A collaboration piece with French coder Didier Brun, the Adidas Megalizer sneaker has unique sensors in each shoe that, along with a wireless transmitter, captures the pressure applied to the sensors. The wearer then controls the sounds they make using an interface.
Worn by the French hip hop act Les Twins in a promotional video, the Adidas Megalizer sneaker seems to be a rebuttal to Nike's online film that shows its Free Run+ shoes plugged in and becoming a part of a DJ kit.
